ITS FINALLY OVER.  ENGINEERS DONT HAVE ANY VALUE.  KNOWLEDGE IS FREE.  WISDOM IS MADE UP

@hermanrobak1285

Sigh, those articles practically write themselves!
Wait...

@asdkant

The most valuable skill is being able to slowly write "enshitification" with your mouse while you speak coherently

@josephvictory9536

It looks exactly like the situation with devops. Do everything that smells like cloud. AI gets errors low mid and high and at the concept level. Now instead of patching code, or writing low level as a quant, or designing the system as a Senior, or diagnosing security issues as a Securitization expert/ ethical hacker. You have to do all of it in your brand new AIOps position.

Im calling it right now. Senior AIOps Engineer. Putting it in my resume

You're right about websites having these random, small but annoying, bugs now.  Even with YouTube, sometimes the comment section just doesn't work the first time you load a page (like, it's there but you can't comment or like posts).   Or another bug where you go to a new video but it has the comments from the last video.

@ryenard

instructions unclear, i`m an orchestra conductor now

@Clipdle

The enshittification thing is real. It seems like I’m getting constant weird bugs on every other app or site I use, even on YouTube I’ve been getting weird UI bugs

@PotatoGodzilla

"I swear to god this time it's done trust me" ahh video

@jakem9519

You videos are what drive me harder, just got a software engineering position because of the reality you make me realize brother ❤

@QBuri

finally, finally, fr, fr, fr, again, for the LAST time we are becoming obsolete

@HarisAzriel

Here we go again. Get ready to be an electrician, boys!

I got informed this week, that a quite high level manager at Salesforce takes a sabbatical till late summer and for that time his proxy will be Agentforce (Salesforce AI). No joke. These people believe in that. Crazy stuff ...

@lazaropereira5149

Here is the thing. Yes, those high-paying, specialized tech roles still exist, but they’re becoming way less common. I remember when big companies had IT departments with 100+ people: dedicated teams for data centers, backups, sysadmins, developers, DBAs, even folks just managing backup tapes!

Now? Most IT teams I see are under 20 people. You’ve got DB folks expected to handle both admin and development, a few DevOps engineers juggling everything from CI/CD to infra-as-code, and a skeleton ops crew just keeping the lights on overnight. And leadership? Constantly pushing to automate even more.

I've been using Cursor at work and more and more I've been using it as just normal vscode.
Using the AI features on our product is a nightmare.
Everytime I try to use the AI, I have to be extremely detailed in my prompt, not only telling it what to do, how to do it, getting all the files it needs to look at and the the ones it needs to modify, but also I need to tell it what NOT to do as it loves changing stuff that has nothing to do with what needs to be changed.

After the following response, my next promot is to tell it everything it did wrong, what it ignored from my previous prompt and what it broke.

I spend so much time trying to get it to do what I need it to do, including spoon feeding the best solution, that after a while I just go and do it myself because of how frustrating it is.

@mbalaganskiy

The last minute is brilliant. Ai code is still "someone else's" code you suddenly need to dig into. I personally hate reading and fixing the code which is not mine, its like doing someones laundry :)

@diadetediotedio6918

the last part of your speech was surprisingly good

@bratpfanne8232

AI is my personal pair programmer and I love it. It is nothing more than a colleague you can ask questions. You might get a great answer, you might not, or you might get something in between.

@Griffolion0

The offshoring one is particularly funny. I remember talking to a buddy who worked at some big multinational. He had his team based in the UK, and a counterpart team in India. Indian team was cheaper to hire out, so clients would ask for them to keep costs low. The project would inevitably turn to shit due to all the realities mentioned in that post, and then my buddy's western team would be brought in to clean it all up. He told me that being "replaced" by a bunch of cheaper offshore devs was the best job security he's ever had.

@christinaapplesauce2459

Whether Ai can or cannot fulfill the promises, CEOs believing it will already is causing problems. I think it is creating a "lost generation" (the japanese problem in the mid 90s). There will be a lot of people in a lot of careers that would not be able to find a job in their field after graduating.  Look at the japanese example, this will not be pretty for those people or for society, and in some countries like the US it will be worse because those people will be debt ridden with student lons.

@spencerhepworth6435

I work for a company with 3 devs and we decided to rewrite An entire financial software for a consultant who manages massive agricultural facility construction when it was due in 2 weeks. But it was only feasible because we kept the code clean and organized. It’s probably 30-40k lines of code. But I know where to find everything. It’s super clean. We heavily used ai to put code out that fast, but wouldn’t have been possible if we didn’t have very opinionated conventions that we force it to follow
