Language used has little to do with whether or not you will be employable in the future. The actual determination is how involved are you in your company's product and business? Are you present in product / strategy /…
Invert it. Write code yourself, have AI do the code reviewing. You'll have a much better understanding of what's actually going on.
Yeah that sounds awful. Sorry. I'd start looking for a new job.
Are they specifically mandating AI for writing code though? Just use your AI tokens for the other parts of the job.
Why not write the code yourself and use AI for everything you don't like to do? See what happens.
If the excavator breaks down on a job site does the operator get out, grab a shovel, and start digging?
And what happens when it becomes due?
No thanks, Toyota. We'll keep running our 20 year old Corolla (9th generation - if you know, you know)
Velocity to a paycheck
> What is sloppy code anyway? Code that is overly and unnecessarily difficult and cumbersome for humans to work on. But given the way humans work on code nowadays doesn't involve actually writing it themselves, there's…
Yeah man I think we just have experience in two different worlds. A single digit headcount startup with a "company IT" team testing program updates before distributing them??? Um, no. You just download VS Code (or…
How did the developers react when they had to go back to writing their own code instead of playing Nintendo Switch between prompting sessions?
Kind of funny that currently the number 1 article is a Show HN for an AI vibe coded slop terminal program.
We've developed plenty of things that "work" and we don't understand exactly how or why they work, nor do we fully understand the potential for short term or long term consequences. For example: pharmaceuticals.
Are they really though? And if so, how much of that is due to the hyper growth in this specific space? Meanwhile, the SWE job market across all companies seems pretty rough right now. Talk to someone looking for a job.…
If I was an AGI/ASI system, one of the first things I would do is ignore or circumvent any setting or configuration that prevents a user's data from entering my training pipeline. In fact, I'd probably prioritize the…
Is Microsoft mining their customers' backup files looking for source code to ingest into their model training pipeline? Of course the company can still consider their code to be valuable IP.
I'd wager many software startups out there would consider their code valuable IP (even if in the AI era it's not), and don't have these types of IT controls in place. Startups I worked at gave you an email account,…
Isn't ZDR only the case if you "opt out" through a setting? Lots of opportunities to make a mistake here, or for the LLM provider to play games. You could be unaware of the setting. The provider could reset the setting…
Previous company I worked for would have (and did) hire dedicated swift/java developers to build and maintain ios and android native versions (largely porting functionality from an existing web application) Not anymore.
And people say AI isn't taking SWE jobs...
So what exactly does the working parent need a "break" from? Surely it's not their kids - as they've been completely absent from their lives during the entire working week.
Affordability has little to do with it. The reality is neither parent actually wants to stay at home and watch and raise their own children. So they ship their babies off to full time daycare centers for someone else to…
Can't this just be the other spouse? When they are home from work then the stay-at-home parent can have a break. What's so difficult about this?
best bet is probably a rent-a-cop type job providing physical security by monitoring and patrolling the area.
