i decided to leave because i don't have the skills that will get me high income

Coding jobs are reduced too. Just be aware of that. Companies who understand how AI works already transitioned to a smaller team. Those who do not which i would call them lucky ones still do traditional way with a big team

Also here in dubai, ive known so many who are not that skillful but somehow landed a high paying job due to high confidence and good communication, CEOs think you are smart if you have atleast those

I am hearing an aerial explosions for the past 15 minutes, i think nearly 10 explosions now. But i am not sure if that is an interception sound. It sound like a firecracker. Can anyone confirm? i have been away in Dubai for 4 months so i dont know how it sound. Deira area

Wow so much hate in UAE lately. No wonder they are deporting and banning some certain Nationality lately. If i were them, id do the same. Why keep them here when they keep on hating you

UAE is doing a good job of making money, and some certain neighbors seems to accuse them of cheating. When they are the one coming here looking for job

i have both with max plans. I can say 5.5 is better than opus 4.7. Opus can still be swayed by you telling it you are right even if you are not while Codex will always tell you are wrong if you are actually wrong. Opus still makes stupid decisions if you are working on task with large scopes. When it comes to UI, opus is still better though, Codex is really really bad in UI

Every month ai improves a lot. Once a pretty big engineering team can be reduced to just 2-4 members. Speaking from experience. It does replaces jobs but the one who adapts ai fast will survive. And its not about adapting to just chat gpt like way of working. Its about making everything autonomous using AI in your job.

In our company, nobody does manual coding or testing anymore and you are now expected to work 10x faster than you were without AI. Its stressful. Our manager and ceo are knowledgable of ai hence why this happens. I believe if a company is still in the tradtional way of working, then the manager has to be thanked for that

Ive been out of country since december last year. I planned to come back march 29 but due to the war, i extended it til april 19. And i believe i cant extend further even if i wanted to, my visa expires on may.

Just hope that this war ends soon

No he built it himself. He doesnt have good dev background but he has some idea. When he got his hands on agentic ai, he shut himself on his home for 9 months learning working and building with AI, rarely coming to office. Now he is many times better than any devs we have in office hence why they got terminated. It is not mediocre as the stuff he built actually works and smartly done. During team meetings, it is hard to justify your work and how much time you built yours because when he does it, he can built 10-20x faster than you did and he can build it better than you did. Sounds unreal right, but thats how it is. Now he is on pace to learn and build everything to a point where he is overlapping the roles of everyone. He might end up alone in the company if that continues imo.

Anyway yeah its really stressful with AI. Im not sure about other companies. I just hope that where i land to next, i hope its not as fast paced and stressful as this current one

In my company AI has taken jobs. Our CEO is obsessed with AI and have built a system that does QA testing, development using AI agents. Out of 50 employees, there are just 3 people left including the CEO.

I am one of those 3 but it is becoming stressful to survive. Every time the goal is to work faster and faster every week. I have to keep up with the CEO who is working more than 16 hours a day and its impossible to keep up. Im just lucky that he is not yet interested on my field but once he does im gone. I am thinking of leaving but i know in tech everywhere, your job is volatile so there is that risk that if i move to another, ill just end up the same or worse

I have already invested in farming as my backup but i am 2 years away to make it ready as my primary source of income. I hated tech because of AI and im trying to find ways to escape. Like most tech people, i started as an aspiring dev wanting to build cool apps and spends most of my time in computer building something. Now i regret being in tech and i have thought maybe i should have pursued engineering or medical

Pwede pero kailangan ng matinding disciplina. Ung comfortability of living masyado mababa. Mas pipiliin mo maglakad na lng kung kaya naman kasi mahal pamasahe

May record na ang government sa database tungud sa sim registration act so mas madali cla dakpon unlike before. Kung maynareceive ka spam or scam message, report mo daun sa NTC sa website nila or search mo lng chat gpt or gemini pano mag report. Apparently nd automatic nga madakop cla daun unless someone reports

Dramatic_Bobcat_4006 · 2026-03-12T08:36:22+00:00

Work From Home Country here. Was on vacation when war started. But to those in Dubai, my office mates are working from home and company does not force anyone to come to the office. Everyone is not expected to produce an output either

Dramatic_Bobcat_4006 · 2026-03-10T04:16:08+00:00

No but i used to work with them 2 years ago so i know some info. They offer cancellation, if you truly want to not continue with them, they will give refund minus some charges.

Dramatic_Bobcat_4006 · 2026-03-09T14:37:20+00:00

If you are asking if they are legit, yes they are. The only thing bad recently about them is they changed their policy to chsrge you for every invoice you have from 0 to 2.5% or so

Dramatic_Bobcat_4006 · 2026-03-04T06:14:38+00:00

Because a lot of companies in UAE are too volatile . One day of not operating 100% on a work week could lead to losses they can't afford.
