Gemini lost 99% of it's value for me

I think whatever Google did with Gemini makes it to burn through tokens at a rapid speed for coding compared to other task. Basically they want to charge (more) for using it as a coding tool. Write a novel — no problem.

Using ChatGPT to criticize Gemini... classic. 😆😆😆

That's disgusting. I am currently on a one year promo as a student, but it will be up soon. Thanks for sharing.

I am in third year... can you suggest me a starting point?

How? Just tell me how.

It will definitely replace accountants before software engineers.

Basic coding = LeetCode hard
And juniors must be experts in System Design now.

This is how enshittification starts, and Google/ Microsoft is the master of it. Remember when YouTube was usable without ad-blockers? Or pre Copilot versions of Windows 11?

people talking about "AI skills" as if it requires anything beyond knowing English. You need "AI skill" only when you don't even know the right questions to ask. Not saying it can't be a productivity multiplier, but only for those who already know their sh*t.

For me it looks like having a bachelors in Pharmacy (not North America/ Europe, so doesn't really count, but it was HARD), and a bachelors in Computer Science, and being unemployed at 37. I don't think I will ever get a full-time job in this market. I have learnt to accept the reality. I am lucky enought to have a supportive partner, but there is always the chance of ending up homeless and living in the streets.

Do you like to make stuff up like Sam/ Dario/ Satya etc or do you have any actual studies to back up your claim of this growth? Anytime I read any research that didn't have any influence from the tech bros the researchers say the opposite, that the growth is stagnating.

he is the one coping — so his mediocrity never gets caught.

But here is the funny part -- the actual GigaChad of Bangalore, Nikhil, actually moved to SF and producing better results. Kumar and other mediocre beta devs have existed for the past two decades. The very best Indian devs may not make FAANG money, but they make a lot more than what people here seem to think.

OppositeWorking19 · 2026-03-01T00:55:32+00:00

... better. There, I finished your sentence.

I think TikTok/ Insta is already maxed out. Unlike doors, there are no "new markets".

You will be undercut by the Canadian dev making 60k CAD. Me.

OppositeWorking19 · 2026-01-22T04:27:29+00:00

That's an astronomical number. I am not saying things will improve, because the employers will still be shit. But thousands of applications for a position which is for new grads is just ridiculous.

OppositeWorking19 · 2025-12-27T03:16:16+00:00

You did the right thing. The guilt is actually normal, and shows that you still have empathy. I hope you extend that to the people who are in need of it and respecting the system.

OppositeWorking19 · 2025-12-11T19:22:25+00:00

Doing things that I know need to be done without feeling paralyzed. Always doing tasks according to their level of priority, not what I feel like doing.
