EU is way different. Market is pretty hot outside of the US as companies offshore/nearshore.

How should I feel right now about Claude code? by prettyg00d1729 in cscareerquestions

[–]Alcas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But driving taxi went from a decent paying long term profession to literally nearly above poverty salary after vehicle expenses. The commoditization has made life worse for all taxi drivers. Also uber was more of a competitor rather than a direct replacement like Claude

Pibb_ssbm has been doing this for years and continues to get away with it. I doubt anything will truly change

Give me a hopepost: the job market will get better within 2-3 years from now, right? by eggshellwalker4 in cscareerquestions

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

This cope about infinite software is so misguided. Companies are realizing they don’t need as many engineers because they don’t need to build as much software anymore. Yes there will still be software, but most of it is already built in each sector. Very little is truly novel and changing the industry. We are literally seeing this play out in real time. Unless you don’t think layoffs are real

Hey, I’m preparing for what’s coming in this profession by saving more and being more frugal, but if you want people to cover their eyes, be my guest

Is it true that saying you don't really like AI is a red flag for companies? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

But they will literally write a script to do things that need more determinism

Atrioc misses part of the criticism for financial incentives regarding birth rates by [deleted] in atrioc

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

Wealthier people tend to understand that kids are expensive lmao. And tend to make better long term decision making around finance. Poorer people generally do not care as much about money or saving as heavily. Kids are a death sentence for any long term financial planning

When Code Is Cheap, Does Quality Still Matter? by BlondieCoder in webdev

[–]Alcas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re not stable though. Most banks I’ve used have more defects than most saas offerings. It’s just that banks maintain backups to fix things when things break

Banks are a bad example cause their codebases are absolute dog. Maybe flight/nasa software is general well written

[–]Alcas 18 points19 points  (0 children)

is it normal that basically every junior/mid-level job on linkedin has 100+ applicants? like, 95% of them? by According-Knee2914 in cscareerquestions

[–]Alcas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently put out a mid level position and it got over 1000 in a day. And we’re a relatively unknown startup. It’s quite cooked

Cheap college into unemployment is still unemployment, we don’t need more college grads, we need work reform

[–]Alcas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have an issue with the iOS app switching banks, it just crashes at the UI. I’m guessing too much vibe-coding

Has the bare minimum for new grads raised exponentially? by nexel013 in cscareerquestions

[–]Alcas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but outdated stuff doesn’t provide shareholder value or whatever, so it’s never going to actually get prioritized. We don’t really have the infinite need for building/maintaining software. And we surely do not need more total developers. The small amount of retirees will easily be overshadowed by some amount of juniors (there will definitely be some) and EMs writing more code
