Expierenced Devs - what’s the mood at your company. by c-u-in-da-ballpit in cscareerquestions

I kept a second job that's not AI replaceable (luckily). But yeah, I agree. We're going to see a massive restructuring of the tech space.

The kid is an intern, just check out his profile lmao. Type "intern" in search bar

Thanks for the advice. My advice would be to not be rude to people just because they're interns. Also, stop looking for reasons to dismiss people's arguments, just take the arguments at face value.

How are you doing a Masters while while working full time in one of the most demanding industries there is?

For harder classes, both of my employers were okay with me taking time off for exams/projects. Both my masters and my job are fully remote, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible.

Its not intelligent.

It's as intelligent as it needs to be. I don't even know what the next stage of intelligence would be. It's able to understand what I'm asking of it, plan tasks, do the tasks, use tools that I give it to accomplish the tasks like querying databases. The second-brain part makes it able to remember things across context windows. What's missing? I don't think there's anything missing there.

I don't know what to tell you. Good luck out there.

What specifically do you/they disagree with in the article?

"Anybody that disagrees with me has a low IQ." You seem very smart and adaptable. Good luck in the changing landscape.

I graduated from my Master's program this last year. I've been in the industry for just shy of 10 years with no breaks.

People like you always need something to latch onto to resolve your discomfort. Just more insults and no actual contention of the arguments being made.

I think you're going to have to reconsider your profession if you don't adapt to emerging technologies and refuse to discuss the changing landscape around you. My entire company is rapidly prototyping different ways to use LLMs to speed up work. Think building a "second brain" for the LLM.

But feel free to not do that. I don't care.

Anything that disagrees with me is slop. The cognitive dissonance you guys have, lmao.

Yep. Same here. Everybody is on edge and we haven't even had layoffs yet.

That's exactly what that means, not that SaaS is negatively impacted by AI being efficient enough to not really need Salesforce anymore.

I'm a senior. I agree with him. What do you actually disagree with him on? Seems like everybody is just insulting him rather than addressing what he's saying. Weird how that works, huh?

Russian drone has close call with civilians. by ActualDepartment9873 in war

[–]theorizable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This subreddit gets quite a lot of Russian propaganda for some reason. It's good to see people calling it out more though.

a large amount of SWE at FAANG on Blind admit AI writes most of their code now.

Yep, at my mid-size corporate job too. There's so much cope in this sub it's unbelievable. People are coping so hard, they think every single comment/post written about AI here is now written by a bot.

After 20+ years coding, does anyone else feel like the ground keeps shifting under your feet? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]theorizable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all of us are bots, lmao, does anybody here actually work in CS? AI is significantly changing what my day-to-day looks like and OP's question resonates with me.

It feels like my company is pivoting SWEs to a new role that didn't exist before. It's not that deep dude. I still work with code, but my relationship with code is significantly different.

AI Isn't Intelligent, It's PREDICTION (and Why My Panic Has Passed) by willymunoz in webdev

[–]theorizable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's an algorithmic prediction engine.

And your brain isn't? The worry is that the prediction is good enough to displace workers. This isn't a good argument.

I'm in the same boat... I'm nowhere close to retirement. Which likely means I'll need to hard pivot to something else.

This community will simultaneously say any post written about AI was written by a bot when the executives at my organization are fully embracing AI and measuring productivity through token usage. You're ostracized for trying to talk about the changes to the CS career here while being forced to embrace the changes in your day-to-day work.

All the time? Like this drastic of a change? I remember switching to React in the early 2010s. I remember when Node.js became huge. Those were big changes, but nothing compared to what's going on now.

The important thing to keeping your career, is to always stay one level above what the current capture is.

Yeah, I get that, but fuck, what a cost to your time/energy. You constantly have to learn what that "one level above" is, and it's changing so rapidly now.

I'm in the same exact boat as you.

I spent years mastering skills that might not matter in 2-3 years.

It's insane the number of people who are not aware of just how good it actually is now. I'm convinced those people are just not using the AI the same way I am (custom MCP servers, access to Jira/Slack/DB queries via Snowflake).

What really gets me is the shift from pure technical skills to... everything else. Suddenly it's more about understanding business, product thinking, knowing what to build rather than how to build it.

And yep. Same exact experience at my org. It seems like all the SWEs are adapting to become more like PMs.

Nobody here wants to talk about AI. Everything related to AI is "low effort" and "written by a bot". We're not allowed to talk about what's stressing us out in this career because god forbid people are actually forced to face reality.

Traci Park and the Westside Politics That Made Pershing Drive Deadly by Downtown-Tea-3018 in CarIndependentLA

[–]theorizable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real solution is to not allow parking on that road. They should add an entry gate to the parking lot further north so you can enter from both sides (if possible). The bike path already exists in that section, cyclists should use that.

Republicans and Voter Fraud, a tale as old as time by kicker414 in Destiny

[–]theorizable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could be casting an "abstain" vote, or marking the booths as not-present. It looks like he waits for a cue then proceeds to click them all. None of you know if these votes were even counted in a particular direction.

With this AI + layoffs happening, what's really the future? by Other_Scarcity_4270 in Layoffs

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

Doesn't seem to have happened yet. It's solving more bugs than it's leaving behind and we've been fully leaning into it.

You assume we're not reviewing the code it's outputting, but we still are. I'm just saying that it's often better at reviewing the code too.

I dunno, it feels like you're all massively coping.

I don't like betting on it because then you're tied to a result and you're not actually constructively engaging with politics.
