Laziness (and shallowness, which probably results from the former) is the root cause. Thinking and analyzing requires effort, throwing some cookie cutter routine approach at the problem is "easy". Many recruiters aren't interested in serving their clients in the best way but simply want to "fill" positions and grab the money. Maybe there should be some form of certification or a quality standard or something. Yes and canned coding tests suck as a 'quality' or fitness/suitability assessment, everybody knows that by now.
Hi, I normally contract in MSBI, Oracle, .Net/.Net Core, focusing on a property platform at the moment. Have also been working hard on upgrading my limited company website too.
Hey leob. Thanks for responding, and I agree. I will probably write a follow up solutions article.
My feeling is, whilst certification improve things, a proper free market would solve this. I will explain.
What seems to have happened is certain clients (banking), given loads of free money by the government, not making real money any more, has a lot of pointless regulatory work. It goes deeper than this. Much of the quantitative easing has put money into stock buybacks and corporate bonds.
It has led to the term, zombie firms/deadman's shoes. A lot of dead money is dwindling around, lazy agents, arrogant hirers, a lack of technical expertise are the result.
I have been working on my platform to try and innovate. This is how developers can break these stale industries.
Great thinking. This kind of stuff is what created the last global recession a decade ago didn't it? Just too many frat boys bonding on the golf course, rich sugar daddy, whatever, sense of entitlement but not based on skills or talent (looking at you mister President, lol).
End of rant ... what kind of platform is it that you're developing?

No worries. Actually, London based. Banking/Finance used to be a really great market to work in. A recession is needed.
Building a property platform. The idea it gives consumers a better idea of the market. I took 9 months off from working to get a proper version out. Soft launching on the weekend.
Will put a few articles on here about the experience.
What about you?
I quit my boring "corporate/enterprise developer" job working in the office 4 years ago, became a freelance web dev, moved to a tropical island, and never looked back. Follow your passion that's the only advice I can give, well I think that's also what you do.
