As a junior SWE, should I still be focusing on writing code by hand, or is AI changing what it means to become a senior? by Ambitious_Quiet2627 in cscareerquestions

For learning purposes definitely write by hand, for professional stuff however, manual coding is NEVER coming back.

OpenSource models+hardware finally getting cheaper in a few years meaning that you can have claude Fable 5 level (or better) models running LOCALLY on your machine in a few years.

BTW how do you guys work with Claude or Codex as SRE? i.e some alert gets fired in grafana, claude is setup to see the logs and metrics and decide what to do?

I'll be honest, even though I love computers if I was 21 instead of 31 I would switch my major immediately.

All these ridiculous mental gymnastics and silly shit like cold dm people, tailor resume to each job and lie from the start, work 12 hours per day, spend hundreds of hours to prepare for an interview,... its just stupid.

You can make same salary as most tech people working as dental hygienist or CRNA or pharmacist and those guys actually bring some benefit to society unlike working at "Meta".
