I am fortunate enough to work in a field that is considered skilled work by many countries and I’m eligible for many skilled work sponsorship visas in different countries . But when I apply to roles outside the US, I often hear back that they don’t sponsor visas. I’ve also seen many job postings that state that only citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply.

Funny enough, only some Canadian employers seem to be most open to sponsoring Americans, although still far from the majority. I guess since many Canadians come down to the USA for work and know TN visas, they are more open to it, I guess.

I’m wondering why so many employers don’t sponsor if I have a profession that is eligible for a sponsored visa and is considered a skill in shortage.

Does anyone else have this problem when trying to move abroad? And are there ways that I can mitigate around this somehow?

Pretty much the title.

I see on LinkedIn from hiring managers on how hard it is to find qualified folks, while at the same time I'm seeing layoffs after layoffs. So I'm curious what exactly is in shortage here. Who are the types and profiles of developers that are hard to find and what types of skills/traits are in demand?

>Walmart said Tuesday it would cut or relocate about 1,000 corporate workers as it looks to combine more of its global-technology and product teams, according to people familiar with the situation.

>This past summer Walmart hired Daniel Danker, who was an Instacart executive, to fill a new role as head of global AI acceleration. Since then Danker and Walmart’s head of global technology, Suresh Kumar, have reviewed their internal structures and decided to streamline some teams to operate more efficiently, the leaders said in a memo sent to staff Tuesday and viewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Why did a Romance-based language fail to survive in Britannia while the Germanic English-language took hold on the island?

In the eastern Roman Empire, we know that the Greek language was already dominant and survived for much longer.

But the linguistic situation in modern Britain is a stark contrast when compared to other western parts under Roman rule like Iberia or modern France, where a Romance language did survive. So why did Latin, and its linguistic descendants, die out in Britain?

Anyone here develop AI agents in both Python and Typescript? I am curious to hear about people's experiences using both, and which language and AI/agent ecosystem they preferred developing in.

Of course, I understand that there are certain use-cases where one language excels, and I am interested in hearing about those, too.

I've been looking for a new job lately (brutal market, btw), and a lot of the ML/AI engineering work now seems pretty LLM-dominated.

I still see a few jobs that seem to be doing more "classical", pre-ChatGPT era type of work with Pytorth or Tensorflow, but it seems that a lot of the work now is working with LLMs, doing RAG, prompt engineering, etc. with Langchain or what have you, and calling Anthropic or OpenAI model endpoints.

Is this an accurate take on the market? And if so, what happened to all the Pytorch/Tensorflow work? Why did it shift so heavily towards just using LLM providers in some package/endpoint?
