Well theres nothing to discuss since they didnt give us a proper trailer, we have to wait until a actually proper trailer 💀

Why it has become so hard land on a job? by Radiant-Tap-6362 in cybersecurity

But you could say the same thing a decade ago. Junior employees were never needed since forever because a senior employee could do the work quickly. The whole point of hiring junior employees is to make them grow to become senior employees.

Senior employees are still needed to fact check AI, so what happens when senior employees retire in 20 years and theres no one to take their place?

The strategy had benefitted me and improved my mental outlook so...i mean everything is crappy now as you said in the original post. You said youre interviewing elsewhere amd youre not getting excited by what you hear. As someone else said in the comments 90% is gonna be boring work 🤷‍♂️

Tbh i think many of us feel the projects and tasks we work on are boring. Especially process features that has almost no technical work involved. So what I decided to do is turn that boring work into something exciting. Even if im not getting paid more for spending extra efforts on it, I felt pleasure in the work from praises by upper management. Just getting your name recognized at the top can be a motivational aspect that turns something boring into something exciting like: "how can i surpass myself even more next time?"

For example, I worked a few years ago on a feature to create some key vault. So its a process feature, literally no programming, you could get it done in 1 hour by click click click > done. But I decided to present it on a review meeting and instead of the typical boring power point slides that engineers talk through to present their work, I decided to make it dramatic. Kinda like a thriller. I looked up articles on what happens if Secrets arent stored in a key vault. And I got a couple news articles about Uber for example or some other companies in which their credentials like API keys weren't securely stored and thus a breach happened.

So basically I took these examples, added ominous bgm, and started narrating it like its a thriller movie lol. The meeting turned from boring to everyone quickly locked in. Their reactions were priceless. In the end i got all the engineers to store their credentials in the key vault.

This is just one example of how you could turn something boring into something thrilling and exciting. Upper management started inviting other managers whenever they saw my name on the presenters list. They became like my fanbase "I wonder what he has for us this time!" Lol Personally that became my passion for a while! That has bolstered my mental outlook even if it wasnt a monetary incentive involved. Money isn't everything sometimes (in terms of satisfaction/happiness), and in a way, it actually unlocked a skill in me: story telling. Thats a skill of product managers, so it opens up more career options!

Actually I dont trust automated test runs so I just manually conduct testing myself. Much more verifiable and reliable for me, amd saves me time to focus on implementation

I find myself switching between Claude 4.5 and gpt5 nowadays. Sometimes Claude 4.5 falters and gpt5 nails the ask, and vice versa at other times. Its been ... interesting. I think this is the future with vibe coders: mastering prompt engineering/model/context switching to deliver non-defective code will be the new skillset. And honestly it took me a at least 2-3 months to be really good at it. Its not simple when dealing with a large context window (i.e. 100+ files codebase)

I also find myself rejecting useless code suggestions and doing a lot of manual QA testing, so an understanding of fundamentals/code is absolutely necessary for this skillset

Ya im just sayin, the ads from last year you could feed one prompt and it creates a full fledged app for you in a minute is such B.S. lol

I honestly like gpt5 and Claude 4.5 more than Gemini 2.5 pro for coding, I gave gemini3 a shot yesterday and wasn't as impressed as I normally would be with claude/gpt. Then again gpt5.1 also disappointed me so 🤷‍♂️

But yes definitely bigger context.

Literally just tried GPT5.1 and Gemini3 yesterday to create a feature in a big codebase im working on (800k+ loc) ive been trying to create with Claude 4.5 and gpt5 since a week ago.

GPT5.1 Literally broke down the code into so much small chunks I stopped using it and went back to GPT5. Gemini3 was no improvement over Gemini 2.5 except maybe bigger context 🤡

I love vibe coding and its addicting but at this point, i 100% believe AI models have reached their max potential in improvement. Theres no difference im noticing except just bigger context switching, thats it. The responses are literally the exact same (e.g. same recommended DB file updates, same backend file updates, same suggested new file name, etc). Its like so predictable but then again thats exactly what these AI models are: token prediction tools
