caio<p>The fancy AI company, and every post on your bosses LinkedIn, is telling them that AI GIVES at least 30% of productivity boost. It doesn't matter the specifics..

Also, they think that the competition is doing the same.</p><p>It's all about capitalists ambition and fear making pression in the weakest spot.

Alex<p>Anyone know any contract jobs for part time entry level Typescript backend programming roles?</p><p>3 to 6 months should be fine, but more interested in building up experience and potentially a portfolio while I get paid. I've been learning typescript for a friend who I just had a heated argument with (he has been a sexist ass the past few weeks) and not sure about the contract job he promised me after these two projects.</p><p>I've been mostly coding backend projects that use postswagger, express, and sequelize. Will complete these two projects and add them to my github repo, but interested in starting to do contract roles.</p><p>I am also interested in golang, but mostly entry level. I do have a lot of projects that use golang, but not sure I am good enough to code in it for a job.
