This sounds more than legit for many places outside of US and maybe some places in US, but in general US does give you an opportunity to move up. So unless it's health issue or family issue it really is in one's own hands here. I

Just because AWS abstracted something doesn't mean you don't need people who understand all the quirks of the black box you supposedly don't have to worry about. Guess what those people are expensive. You also have to deal wi

In my experience gemini is good at writing specs it's hit or miss in reviewing code and it's not really usable for iterating on code. Codex is slow but can crack issues that Claude Code struggles with. So my workflow has being to
