I agree with you tbh, and it also just misses something huge that doesnt get brought up: its not about your sniff test, its about your bosses sniff test. Are you making 300k a year? Thats 300 thousand reasons to replace you for a short term boost in profit, companies love doing that.

right now? Keeping my eyes very peeled for what people in my network post about needing. Unfortunately I dont' have much of a plan right now, sorry.

Android has had that for ages, and its cool to play with maybe twice and then I kind of forgot about it. It just turns out I dont take a lot of pictures that need cleaning up.

Im hoping I can transition to some kind of product or management role since frankly Im not that good at coding anyways (I dont feel like I can pass a technical interview anymore, tbh.)

I think a lot of engineers are in for some level of rude awakening. I think a lot of engineers havent applied some level of business/humanities thinking in this, and I think a lot of corporations care less about code quality than even our most pessimistic estimates. It wouldnt surprise me if cuts over the next few years get even deeper, and I think a lot of high performing (re: high paying) jobs are going to get cut. Ive seen so many comments like "this will improve engineering overall, as bad engineers get laid off" and I dont think its going to work like that.

Anecdotal, but no one from my network actually recovered from the post covid layoffs and they havent even stopped. I know loads of people who dont feel like theyll ever get a job as good as they had in 2021.

yeah I think youre correct, I see a quick ceiling to senior software engineer. On the other hand I think a lot of junior positions are going to get removed, and for a while having the experience to be at a senior level will be rarer. So, there that.

I hate the branded buttons. My tv has ones for apps Ive never even heard of, but I cant just assign one to plex: the only streaming app I actually use

but think of the products! Dont you want ads?? You havent thought of the corporations poor bottom line at all :(

consider yourself lucky, my team uses skype business. Its skype except it cant do video calls or calls at all. Just a terrible messaging client with zero features!

this is absolutely not true. Human history is not the story of hyper adaptive silicon valley disruptors, in fact your completely backwards. Most of human history growth was enormously slow, and only in the past few decades has it really skyrocketed to the point where people become obsolete this quickly. If you were born in 1008 you could be a blacksmith for the next 600 years at least without too much issue.

its not about whether an LLM can do better work than you, its about if it can do cheaper work than you, and it can.

this website has the toan

thats because thats a dogwhistle that people post to start fights. Its the posting equivalent of an 11 year old saying 'im not touching you!' and its good to ban it. its annoying.

Boston Dynamics still working on adding the turrets

well at least a drone probably wont shoot a bunch of bystanders on the train

when you take energy into account its like anti engineering. What if we used a mountain of effort to achieve a worse result?

what do you think their opinions of you were?

this is just racism

why are tech workers, my industry, so committed to this ideology? Do you think the tech layoffs of the last few years was a justified culling of lazy idiots?
