☆ Layoffs hit coding community Stack Overflow as software engineers increasingly shift to AI for help
  + stars: | 2023-10-17 | by ( Kylie Kirschner | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Coding community Stack Overflow announced on Monday that it's laying off 28% of its staff. Many generative AI models were partly trained on Stack Overflow's information. This is the second round of layoffs Stack Overflow has had this year — it laid off 10% of its workforce in May. Stack Overflow recently announced the new round of layoffs after more than doubling its headcount in 2022. "Some of them are very explicit about calling out Stack Overflow as a primary source," Chandrasekar previously told Insider.

☆ Why tiny homes could be a big deal
  + stars: | 2023-08-06 | by ( Matt Turner | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
It's easy to look at these tiny homes as undersized gimmicks, but there are real use cases. Others are leaning on tiny homes to house homeless veterans. Denver changed its zoning laws to make ADU construction easier, allowing two-story units in some parts of the city. Tiny homes won't fix that, but innovation in zoning and construction, taken with recent data pointing to a surge in residential construction, offer reasons for hope.

☆ Death by LLM: Stack Overflow's decline, and its plan to survive, shows the future of free online data in an AI world

Some AI models that compete against Stack Overflow were partly trained on the company's data. Online communities, like Stack Overflow and Wikipedia, thrived as hubs for experts and curious browsers to come together and share information freely. In 2021, Prosus, a major backer of Chinese tech giant Tencent, bought Stack Overflow for $1.8 billion. However, Nat Friedman, the CEO of Github through 2021, expects tech companies to pay for training data in the future. Stack Overflow is also working on new ways to measure the impact of a human's answer on the platform.

☆ Big Tech's hiring freeze unlocks rich talent pool for U.S. startups
  + stars: | 2022-10-13 | by ( Eva Mathews Tiyashi Datta | Eva Mathews | Tiyashi Datta | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Oct 13 (Reuters) - Late-stage U.S. startups are scooping up talent unlocked by layoffs and hiring freezes at Big Tech, adding experienced engineers and project managers to their roster despite signs of an economic slowdown. A survey of 581 executives, almost entirely from U.S. tech startups, showed that more than 40% of them boosted their hiring plans in the first half of 2022, according to hiring firm A.Team and startup consultant MassChallenge. Companies are also shortening hiring times and offering higher pay packages to lock in candidates as they compete for talent in a tight labor market, recruiters said. Still, some analysts warn there is only so long until startups can continue the hiring pace amid a weak economic backdrop. "If the economy does indeed go into recession, it will only add to the pressure faced by tech firms as demand dries up," says Dante DeAntonio, director of economics research at Moody's Analytics.
