The \"gig economy\" is knocking on the doors of s.e.d.
So now the conversations go
- - - - - - - - -
\"Hey I\'m a programmer for hire\"

\"What can you do?\"

[Silence - \"programmer\" was deemed enough] or
\"Just tell me what YOU want done & I \'ll let you know if I\'m interested\"
- - - - - - - -
I get the impression, having seen many new faces come & go
in the IT divisions, that since projects are broken down into several very
short term tasks (sprints), it supports these \"new ways of business.\"
They are hired as contractors, no benefits, no protections, etc.
They know or will quickly learn whatever language or system thrown
at them ( but only very little ramp-up time is probably tolerated).

I have joined Coffee&Power Project, funded by Bezos
to have large teams of IT workers on-line, live, involved in high-tech projects broken down into tiny pieces

As an outsider I learned a lot since project development was open, originated by Second Life

Not sure we can do it now again.

My suggestion is to have every IT developer to join Self-EGO Project, as part-time activity, to turn Internet search engines
into an intelligent knowledge databases, supporting interactive communication.

Today, Internet search engines support zero-level (lowest level) interactive model of knowledge representation, as flat timeline clocked search results, populated by web links, called : curated content

But curated search results don\'t support any form of interaction, like one known from human-2-human chat

In theory and practice, modern Internet search engines can be voice operated.

But what is supported is entering of search terms via voice

But I need State-of-the-art searchers to support Fly around the Knowledge Globe,
to be supported by geolocated visualization of the progress in the field, integrating Google Earth alike engine with geolocated search results to let me fly around the globe ( virtual flight) and meet heavy working developers, visit conferences, shows, meet friends, meet professors, researchers on-the-fly
to cut communication time

Twitter, Facebook, Usenet all live in the past century
not supporting modern knowledge reprsentation, deep knowledge systems.

I worked contract/consultant, whatever you want to call it, in the \'80s.
You never discussed your hourly rates with the permanent employees. What
they wouldn\'t factor in was the lack of benefits, long term security,
and so forth. When you\'re self employed you pay the half of the SS tax
the employer pays for direct, your insurance and other expenses, plus
laying aside money for the slack period.

Programming is a bit different than other disciplines. I know jack about
the chemistry of pH electrodes, tantalum capacitor production, the
physics of semiconductor sputtering systems, and so forth, but given the
outline of the transform from the inputs to the desired output I can
make it happen and do it in most common programming languages.

Good technical writers are similar. They know how to produce a coherent
document without necessarily knowing anything at all about the field
prior to starting.

It does make the initial interview challenging. Your selling point is
you know absolutely nothing about the client\'s current problem but you
have a track record of being a damn fast learner.

All that said, it does help if you throw out a little bait other than
\'I\'m a programmer\'. That\'s ultimately why I went back to being a direct
employee. I really suck at fishing for work and don\'t enjoy it at all.

This guy has been hanging out on comp.lang.php, posting code snippets
for things no one seems to care about. He doesn\'t come across as
very mature.

Not a place I frequent. php should have stayed Personal Home Page and
died an early death. Like Perl it can get the job done in a quick and
dirty fashion but tends to degenerate into an unmaintainable can of worms.

in theory and practice,
the whole WWW can be server-side generated as gif images, delivered to end-user
and no need for web browser.

You just click an object on png image
and another, server-side generated png image is delivered to end-user in real time.

No need to know anything about html, PHP, Perl

to get live Internet

HTML is an old fake, developed to support slow Internet transfer

Interactive png is safe and fast present day.

Overheads generated by htmlized web page turned png image
don\'t matter if you live at high-speed Internet end.
