I recreated Shazam's algorithm out of curiosity but mostly out of desperation. In this video, I explain how Shazam works and how I implemented the algorithm ...
I’m right there with you. I feel like everyone I know’s a bunch of hermit crabs lining up to upgrade from soda cans and plastic bottles into real shells
More like a global depression that governments won’t admit was a depression because the economy is completely shareholder centric with very little consideration for workers. New grads did the occupy Wallstreet protests because they spent multiple years unable to find a job. It was a nightmare that destroyed the lives of countless working class people
My local area was hit bad about a year later than everyone else. But once it hit, houses were close to 1/2 the price of what they were going a year earlier + unemployment was up to about 20%. It was VERY bad and I remember trying to get a job in the middle of it. I got lucky and got something around an hour away while quite a it of my social group moved away.
I had just graduated, fresh engineer and super happy I landed a pretty good starting engineering job in a great company. I was quite lucky. Engineers dropping like flies, becoming taxi drivers, or whatever they could find to sustain their families. All investments everywhere were dwindling. Thankfully oil prices were high regionally so some remained.
US has been in a rough spot on the tech side as all the big tech companies kicked off a layoff spree (assumed by many to chase profitable quarterly reports).
With Trump and Elon screwing with the federal government, even stable government jobs are now hurting.
I applied to 600 jobs last year, had 30 interviews, and only had 1 job offer that was revoked after Emperor Elon took over. Things have been completely hellish for me.
The job market is very hard right now. It feels like 2009 all over again. It took until 2014 to recover in my local area.
And there is a LOT of new devs getting pushed out. Crazy.
nice project!

A global recession.
oh huh, really showing my age here heh
Oh don’t worry you’ll get to experience one firsthand in [ checks watch ] about 20 minutes.
Ngl I’m a little bit looking forward to the next housing crash, because maybe then I can finally buy a fucking house for a not-too-insane price.

Doesn’t seem that bad to me, but I’m not a junior, or in the US.
