    <span style=3D"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
    Many IDE features, like autocomplete, l= anguage servers, and Copilot, can be taken for granted today. However, not = every developer uses these tools. Some developers work in environments wher=
    e they aren't able to access IDEs (for example, on remote servers that only=
    have Vim), so they have had to learn different ways of doing things. Organ= izing software in a way where every piece of code has a clear and logical p= lace is a skill - tooling that helps with code navigation can result in cod=
    e that lacks structure.

    Late-year PhD students and postdocs at = NeurIPS'24 expressed anxiety and frustration as the job market looks and fe= els very different from what they expected when they were applying for PhD = programs five or so years ago. Years ago, competition for artificial intell= igence researchers with PhDs was fierce - companies were recruiting them to=
    prepare themselves for a revolution. Many of the researchers, who were pai=
    d well, were free to choose what they wanted to work on and publish whateve=
    r they wanted to publish. This incentivized a large number of brilliant stu= dents to apply to PhD programs. Universities have started to train undergra= duate, graduate, and master's students on these technologies, making PhDs l= ess valuable to companies.
