@kosmos5995

he's not really saying coding is bad. he’s challenging the idea that just being a good coder will make you wealthy. And that’s valid. A lot of people pour years into improving their technical skills but never think beyond the salary or job ladder. Meanwhile, people who build businesses, invest, or create content often unlock more leverage and scalability. His message is more about thinking bigger than just writing code.

@juliodon8103

The problem is that programmers are looking for jobs instead of becoming creatives with their skills.

@Kaslor1000

Everyone: So which one is it - is AI going to replace all programmers in a year, or it's all just a bubble?
TechLead: Yes

@shukrmessage7640

is it just me, or his consistent pessimism actually strangely makes me optimistic or motivated...and i'm not even completely disagreeing with him.

@dasDull

How can AI be both braindead and replace 70% of programmers?

Ahh

@sorwerk

Programming is not making you poor, everybody working as a programmer is making you poor 😅

@swaroopas5207

We software engineers are to blame ourselves. Unlike other professions we created something that will replace us. Never seen a more tragic story.

@8Seboo

We went from "as a millionaire" to "as a non-poor" pretty quick 😂 thanks for the updates and reality checks TL

@JackQuag-c2h

Salesforce CEO-We are not hiring any engineers this year because of AI.
Reality-Salesforce applied for 400+ H-1b visas in the first quarter of 2025
Meta-4000+ H-1b applications 2024, 1600+ so far in 2025.
Both companies opened massive offices in India last year.
They simply are not hiring Americans, because of the high value of the U.S. dollar compared to Yuan or Rupee.
An American earning minimum wage pays for in taxes than Software engineers are paid in India, then factory workers are paid in China.
Britain has a digital services tax (10%) we should consider the same.
Also, we don't need anymore H-1b visas, it could be stopped tomorrow without any real change.

@dddan5255

I still don't understand whether he's joking or if he really believes what he says

@TheRealLifeSonicTheHedgehog

@TambayNgMOA

@visceralcinema

I'm in tech--unemployed for two years, but taking little contract jobs as they come--and I'm pivoting into healthcare. Health & defense are the only two industries that are financed by Federal Reserve dollars.

@weho_brian

imagine you spend the last 10 years learning 100 frameworks

@PiterPeconi

IT industry is finished. It takes a lot more from you than it gives

@phen-themoogle7651

Jokes on you, I’m already broke so nothing can “make me poor”

@matrixInvader

TLDR: "Nobody really knows what's going on"
