And who can blame them?  <\/p>\n<h2>Absurd ads<\/h2>\n<p>I take a random fresh ad, but I assure you that just looking around a bit you can find thousands of them\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"t-24 t-bold jobs-unified-top-card__job-title\">Ad title: <strong>PHP Back-end Developer<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Knowledge of object-oriented development principles<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Experience in development with the PHP language<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Knowledge of the main frameworks<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Knowledge of software versioning models and tools (GIT\/SVN)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Knowledge of the SQL language<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Knowledge of the web and its protocols<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Knowledge of operating systems such as Windows and Linux<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Good knowledge of the English language, both spoken and written<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Proven problem-solving skills related to achieving results<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Knowledge of the main web CMS: Drupal \/ WordPress \/ Magento \/ Adobe Commerce<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Knowledge and experience in (full stack) web application development<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Certifications obtained on enterprise products.

Sono ruoli in cui chi si candida deve essere una persona allenata a usare bene il cervello. Non puoi pensare, con l\u2019obiettivo finale di pagare una \u201cFerrari\u201d 10 euro, di prendere in giro uno sviluppatore che, al contrario di certi ciarlatani, conosce perfettamente quali competenze richiedano lo sviluppo front-end e quali il back-end; cercando di mascherare tutto facendo passare la ricerca di un Full Stack come quella di un Back-end o di un Front-end per pagarlo meno. Questo \u00e8 un inganno ridicolo nel quale non cadrebbe neanche un bambino di 10 anni che deve finire!  <\/p>\n<p>It would definitely be more appreciated and honest to write: \u201cWe are looking for a Full Stack developer, we offer this compensation.\u201d This way, candidates are not misled, and respect for the required professionalism is demonstrated by setting clear and transparent expectations from the very beginning.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, everyone would know exactly which role is being sought and, depending on the offer, could decide whether to apply or not, without wasting precious time. In many cases, the company would not receive any applications, and at that point, perhaps, it would realize that it is necessary to increase the compensation! <\/p>\n<h2>Job offers to be ashamed of<\/h2>\n<p>Not to mention all those job offers that demand absurd skills, ones that even NASA employees might not possess, for ridiculously low salaries\u2026 I have read ads from companies looking for expertise in Back-end PHP, .NET, JAVA, Python, version control systems (GIT, SVN, DevOps), container orchestration systems (Kubernetes, Docker), REST API and SOAP, various PHP frameworks including Symfony\/Laravel, knowledge of ecosystems and API integration of AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure services. For the front-end: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, React, Vue.js, Angular, with a preferred requirement in hybrid app development using Cordova, Flutter, or Ionic\u2026 All this for the modest sum of 1,200 euros, ladies and gentlemen! I mean\u2026 Aren\u2019t you even a little ashamed? It makes me laugh, but honestly, this is something to cry about!<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t want to get in the middle of this, and although I don\u2019t consider myself the last wheel in the IT field\u2014probably the second to last, but not the last\u2014I personally know very high-level professionals I have worked and still work with, who probably struggle to even reach half of these required skills\u2026 And all this for a salary of 1,200 euros per month? <a title=\"Face with Tears of Joy emoji\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Face_with_Tears_of_Joy_emoji\">????<\/a><a title=\"Face with Tears of Joy emoji\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Face_with_Tears_of_Joy_emoji\">????<\/a><a title=\"Face with Tears of Joy emoji\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Face_with_Tears_of_Joy_emoji\">????<\/a><a title=\"Face with Tears of Joy emoji\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Face_with_Tears_of_Joy_emoji\">????<\/a><a title=\"Face with Tears of Joy emoji\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Face_with_Tears_of_Joy_emoji\">????<\/a><a title=\"Face with Tears of Joy emoji\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Face_with_Tears_of_Joy_emoji\">????<\/a><br \/>It\u2019s truly unbelievable and frankly an insult both to those who work seriously and to the value of the profession itself.  <\/p>\n<p>You are ridiculous!!! To all these crafty little opportunists, exploiters of people in difficulty, I sincerely dedicate a big f*** off.<\/p>\n<h2>The responsibilities of entrepreneurs<\/h2>\n<p>I believe entrepreneurs should pause to reflect with a strong sense of self-criticism and adopt a perspective grounded in very simple market laws\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I have a cousin who had the courage to leave Italy and went to work in France. They were looking for a Front End developer: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.js \u2014 and for Node.js, if you don\u2019t know it, no problem, we will invest in your training\u2026 Period! Is there anything else to add? Every time I hear from him, he makes me feel like an idiot for stubbornly believing that things can change here in Italy too, and he keeps repeating to me: \u201cA professional like you would earn staggering amounts here in France.\u201d    <br \/>Monthly salary: 3,800 euros per month plus bonuses, and may God increase them. The company offers continuous training and updates. It is clear that in France entrepreneurs have understood that investing in human capital, in their own employees, is crucial to successfully face the challenges of tomorrow and to continue growing and remaining competitive.  <\/p>\n<h2>If the approach doesn\u2019t change, failure is just one step away.<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s come back to Italy\u2026<\/p>\n<p>We often meet \u201cold-school\u201d entrepreneurs\u2026 When you talk to them about automating business processes \u2014 which could save them up to 90% of their current labor costs, considering they have to bear outrageous expenses for employees who spend the whole day in front of Excel files doing in one day what software could do in a fraction of a second \u2014 they look at you as if you came from Mars. They don\u2019t understand a thing of what you\u2019ve explained, but they are too full of themselves to admit it or realize that if they don\u2019t move in this direction now, the only path ahead will be failure! <\/p>\n<p>Yes, I\u2019m talking about failure, and I shout it to everyone, without fear of contradiction, fully aware that I am not exaggerating the matter in any way. Because we also have meetings with young entrepreneurs who fully understand the potential of process automation; they realize they can save a lot on labor costs and therefore can lower the prices of their services, making them more competitive in the market, and they achieve impressive results.<\/p>\n<p>And this is where the usual question arises: \u201cA consumer finds a product at \u20ac20 and the very same product \u2014 probably with some flaws since everything is the result of \u2018manual processing\u2019 \u2014 at \u20ac40. <strong>Which<\/strong> <strong>product, do you think, would they actually buy between the two?\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>And as a corollary, a second question arises\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople who, until now, have bought the product for \u20ac40 \u2014 when they realize that another company offers a better one for \u20ac20 \u2014 <strong>will they continue buying the \u20ac40 one?<\/strong>\u201d It would be like believing that if tomorrow a brand of OLED TVs came out producing TVs of equal or even better quality than those made by well-known brands, people would still buy the ones that cost twice as much\u2026 Totally illogical!  <\/p>\n<p>This is how failure becomes inevitable\u2026 The new generation of entrepreneurs will be able to aggressively enter the market with lower prices because they will be more efficient, having lower costs. And all the customers of the old companies, when they see that it is possible to save significantly by having products born from automated processes \u2014 and therefore certainly more reliable in terms of \u201chuman error\u201d and production speed \u2014 will not take long to close contracts on one side and open them on the other. This argument is even more valid the larger the company is. In large enterprises, if I can find a washer for 2 cents less with the same quality as the one I have used until now, at the end of the year I could have a few million euros more in liquidity.   <\/p>\n<h2>Obsolete ideas and cult of personality<\/h2>\n<p>It is truly very difficult to make a person understand\u2014someone who built their wealth in 1980 following a completely analog methodology\u2014that we are no longer in 1980. There are those who, wisely, ask themselves questions, look around, and realize that the world has changed. They understand that in 1980, that exceptional spray for cleaning windows without leaving streaks was only available if you took your car and drove 20 km to the store where you were sure to find it. Now, you go on Amazon, and the next day it\u2019s delivered right to your doorstep. But he, stubbornly, continues to drive 20 km, wasting gas, time, and maybe getting frustrated in traffic.<\/p>\n<p>There are those who have understood that we live in a world very different from the one in 1980. These are the people who will survive and, in fact, will only see their revenues rise. But within five years, companies that have not embraced process digitalization and still rely on pen and paper, or at best Excel sheets, will meet a very bad end.      <\/p>\n<p>Many readers might say: \u201cOkay, but then you won\u2019t need so many people anymore; they\u2019ll lay off half of them.\u201d That\u2019s not necessarily true\u2026 However, continuing to pursue a business model that in a couple of years will collapse \u2014 well, at least everyone will be out of a job!<\/p>\n<p>That said, you can still maintain employment levels by choosing to invest human resources in other company departments, such as marketing, to increase your business scale, since on the processing side you can now virtually scale infinitely thanks to your investment in automation.   <\/p>\n<p>The world evolves, and especially in private companies \u2014 which are the economic engine of the Italian system \u2014 you must be able to adapt to the times and market demands. Only in this way can you have a solid company.<\/p>\n<p>The economy doesn\u2019t work solely based on the amount of money in circulation; much more important is the speed at which that money changes hands. If the current trend continues, soon we will have fewer and fewer active companies in the market, and wealth will concentrate in the hands of a few, because when others decide to move, it will already be too late.  <\/p>\n<h2>The importance of certain roles and their recognition<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s start by giving value to people\u2026 A Full Stack developer who solves problems in your company and saves you a million euros a year cannot be paid 800 euros per month. Entrepreneur!?!?!? Be consistent first with yourself and then with others!!! How can you show up with a mere crumb to someone who helped you keep 5,000 loaves in the cupboard?  <\/p>\n<p>Someone who has worked their tail off studying book after book, pulling all-nighters to prepare for university exams, constantly keeping up with the latest technologies (and there are a couple of new ones every two months), while their peers were hanging out smoking on the village square wall, would never come to work for you\u2014earning you a million euros a year\u2014in exchange for 800 euros a month, which is basically what those who were smoking get.<\/p>\n<p>Are we going to recognize a difference or not? And if you think you\u2019re clever proposing job offers that should only be ashamed to be published, maybe it\u2019s time to rethink your approach\u2026 Because if you follow this kind of logic, you\u2019re probably not that smart after all.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>[starbox] <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As usual, I\u2019m going in hard\u2014being direct is in my nature\u2026 You probably figured that out from the title ????
