Engineering is changing: FDE is ascendant while mobile and front-end roles are disappearing. Open mobile and front-end engineers jobs have been nearly halved in the past year!
STATE OF THE TECH JOB MARKET IN 2026 Twice a year, I dig into trends in hiring and job openings. This is the fifth report I've done, and the most surprising yet: 1. PMs are winning in the AI era 2. Engineering demand has stalled 3. Design openings are at a record low 4. Every role now requires AI skills 5. Tech jobs are concentrating in the Bay Area 6. Remote roles are at a record low 7. The tech job market is growing fast, but mostly outside of software (gasp!) Full report here: lennysnewsletter.com/p/state…

looks like I was off by a year, but @claude just added this xitter.twitterapi.xyz/claudeai/status/212020…
AI agents become way more powerful once they can read/write to a database. I predict ChatGPT/Claude/etc will add Airtable-like databases within the next 2 months. It makes working with ANY type of data so much better. Financials, CRMs, product roadmaps, etc.

I still look back fondly on the first BetaList design

BetaList now has an affiliate program 🤑 if you have an audience of founders, you can earn 30% on everything they spend on BetaList e.g. a standard $99 submission = $29.70 commission for you if they subscribe to a weekly boost, that's +$29.70/week extra, etc if you have a list of "places to submit your startup" you are free to use the affiliate link. just mention you get a commission (= legal requirement in most countries) BetaList is the original startup directory since 2010. no shenanigans like requiring a link back to us, etc full details: betalist.com/affiliates

this confirms my suspicions… many startup directories game their DR: free listing, but only if you link back to them more founders say yes, DR goes up, more founders submit it's a bit of a scam. Google calls required links link spam, so that "high DR" is mostly for show
Today, we (Ahrefs) are releasing a preview of DR4: a new Domain Rating model for scoring backlink profiles. Your own DR may change, so we're sharing two ways you can check before it rolls out on December 1st. The two main changes: 1. Subdomains now have their own rating, so our help desk (DR 75) is scored differently than our root domain (DR 92) 2. The pool of domains impacting DR has essentially halved, to ~132M. In our testing, DR4's correlation with Google rankings across all hosts is more than 2.5x stronger than our current model. We've been analyzing the data for weeks and have already had some great outside feedback, but I'm sure there will be more. That's why I'm opening up a direct feedback form for a short period of time. I'll go through all of the comments myself and pass on what I see with the rest of the team. We're pretty excited about finally sharing this with more people. 🙏 Link in the first reply

disclosure: i run BetaList, since 2010. i've never required a backlink. i charge a small fee instead, and still review every startup (refund if not selected) our DR dropped too, from 77 to 70. not the 30 that directories requiring a backlink typically lost

you can now verify your profile on buildinpublic.com it proves there's a real human being behind your account. similar to how Twitter blue checkmarks used to work back in the day identity is securely processed by @didit and no personal details touch or are stored on our servers there's a one-time $5 fee to cover the costs of verification

people claim AI levels the playing field when it comes to coding, but it seems like some makers are WAAYYYY more productive with AI than others? I see some people still struggling to ship new features, while others are quite literally shipping dozens a day
