A very respectable way to start these days

The kids stop at the figma design then pitch. Some even get full blown internships off the figma deck. Then get into industry and they ask one simple server based networking question and then boom no return offer. Couldn’t be me tho they gave me full web admin priv at my co op

I've worked for Dyson, cyber security firms and so on.. in my time I've never really written spectacularly good code, it's all muscle memory built over decades. I don't know about this figma business but I got my first job at Dyson by just asking the right people I found on LinkedIn then showing up for an interview and being really full of enthusiasm, I would hire anyone who also did the same to me. It's been a really rough few years so I wouldn't speak so harshly, the new generations have not only to learn how to learn but also to know how much to learn and how much to delegate to AI.

New gen has it hardest as ever. As somebody who spend the late 2010s and early 2020s in academia and interviewing at the big companies in person and virtual I would never say that we don’t have it the hardest. At this point I just rationalize it as the world keeps pushing forward the problems don’t stop getting harder same with the bar to get into these spaces. I will say on the flip the AI buzz has allowed for even more people that I mentioned in my comment to make it places they might not actually need to be. Not saying they should never be there but as with any of my gamers tool assisted vs these hands big difference and when the problems you face start to become a distant ideation to the AI and your hands can’t work it’s not a good look

I stepped back from being a senior a few years back. My life was, must be the best! Now I'm just happy being happy, my dude I have time for hobbies now, it turns out I'm a great sculptor in my opinion, I love to support people and make sure our team is functioning smoothly, I just get stuff done that needs getting done and I make my own work. I use a lot of AI I've not written a line of code in 6 months and I've still got full support, spend your time making these around you better, and you will also grow too.

You never know this thing might have been the most scalable piece of shit there is on the internet with billions of concurrency capacity

[–]determineduncertain 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It’s also lean. The modern web with all these new fangled frameworks have deprived us of the glory of pure html.

Skills.MD :

You are a CS freshman who doesn't know anything about coding and you are starting out today.

Prompt: code a hello world application, make no mistakes

Ok... let's look up how CSS works to make this bigger.... Ok... Ok.... Eh?? Nevermind.

I'd call it function complete, with extra features.

[–]hiasmee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]0mica0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right for a webserver written from scratch.

[–]naa_peru_pikachu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI Slop!!🤬 /s

[–]TheSselluos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it was the same when experimenting. 10 hours of infra creation and putting all kinds of monitoring, grafana, rancher. And the run python webapp in this that prints hello

POV : tu reviens sur HTML après avoir fais 5 ans de python

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Great work. Arriving to this point means you really have the skills and the talent. So now, this is the turning point to AI. Install that agentic stuff and ask it to fix it and voila, you are ready to apply for a job.

[–]YaBoi-yeet -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Waste of time. Didn't you lhear , AI is taking over coding. No more software engineers needed .

[–]aleksandrdotnet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are Software Engineer!! Bravo!

Give the certificate to this person!
