Many companies already found a better way - they stopped interviewing. You don't need to interview anyone because there aren't any jobs available. If there happen to be any open roles typically they are not advertised and filled

Not to rain on anyone's parade but I find it strange how excited and giddy people on HN get for any new X.X model releases. Pumping it straight to the top, clamoring to use it, check and compare benchmarks, bragging about it being you

Cut them a break. They are trying to IPO soon.

I know of a few software engineers who have stopped using AI beyond using it selectively as a search / troubleshooting / stack overflow replacement. If you are taking steps to protect your brain maybe in a way you are also protect

Once you let AI into a large codebase there's no going back. It's a virus that slowly takes over.

Beyond "branding", I don't mind this general direction. There absolutely should be a fool proof undefeatable mechanism that identifies or watermarks code that was completely LLM generated. If you use LLMs, own it.

I think LLMs make programmers lazy more than anything. And when programmers stop programming for extended periods, they lose their programming skills. No surprise here. Use it or lose it. I think a possible solution on both fronts (maint

Sounds like you are already on the "right" path? Step 1 is "surrendering" to AI-driven coding. Beyond that, the new competitive edge for developers everywhere is mastering AI tooling for maximum productivity and velocity

I committed to the fully agentic approach for a while. No code by hand! Setting aside the "capability" of the tools, I knew it was the wrong direction after a couple months or so in. I specifically remember during a large featur

We are able to early detect these cancers right now with routine targeted imaging. Perhaps we should be working to solve or improve on the drawbacks associated with doing this, some of which are: CT scans emit ionizing radiation. MRI contr

FWIW, I worked fully remotely (pre COVID) and my employer at the time was willing to fully cover the costs of renting a coworking space. Though I never specifically asked, I sincerely doubt they would have footed the bill to construct a det

The same exact people that the companies got rid of. The government pays them now instead of their former employer.

More fearmongering overhyping the technology. The investment bubble MUST continue!

Still rocking an M1 Air - 2020 build. 8GB ram. No slowdown or deterioration at all. Battery health reports the battery max capacity at 84%. Best computer I've ever owned, by far.

Stepping back a bit, if you are working remotely that's likely a proxy for an increased likelihood of job loss due to AI. Why start and invest in a construction project for a building that may not be staffed long term? Perhaps renting

The plus side of all this is that entry level software development jobs are typically pursued by recent college graduates. They are young. While it sucks to have blown a lot of money and accept they've been duped to get a degree in so

Of course it will. Doesn't matter though. Coding expertise is no longer valuable. What is valuable now is productivity. Which in today's day and age is the ability to quickly and efficiently drive AI. Hence the never-ending gro

We've wronged an entire generation by pushing "learn to code".

Curious what you think your organization's crown jewels actually are? Because, almost certainly, it's not your source code.

Yeah, no way. I'd move to the middle of nowhere and work multiple jobs on a farm and in construction. Learn how to grow food, and build things. Meet the farmer's daughter, and marry her. Then, buy my own land, grow my own food,

Worked at multiple startups as an early engineer. A few were successful. One wasn't. A "staff engineer" was not an available position or job title at any of them.

Most senior level programmers have 2 options. (junior / early-mid level folks may want to consider re-skilling to a different field) 1. Embrace the AI and continue working and earning for as long as you can. Bank as much savings as

Kind of a silly, borderline delusional premise. Be a "great" dad while also working a full time job? What a huge constraint to operate within.
