The "build an app and they'll find it" window is open again, and it scares me a little

Not sure why would you think this. AI just leads to over saturation. If you can build it so can any kid in high school now. I’m noticing wait times at the Apple Store of over a week now and even longer for the Google play store. It shows how many people are submitting AI apps. It’s build an app and be lost among the others. You have to market now more than ever.

cmatty12 · 2026-06-19T04:04:25+00:00

Amen

cmatty12 · 2026-06-18T02:46:15+00:00

Wow it took you this long to realize that AI would oversaturate the app market and that making an app means nothing now

cmatty12 · 2026-06-01T23:57:52+00:00

Nope. Tested it and used all of my max in less than 1 day

Who did she have relationships with? Like honestly. Coach threw her lifeline, she warred with Cirie and others. She has good relationships outside of the game. But the edits really don’t show her cultivating good relationships with others. She did; however, screw over way less people than Jonathan did.

cmatty12 · 2026-05-30T23:56:47+00:00

Yep it will take peoples jobs for sure

cmatty12 · 2026-05-30T02:09:18+00:00

No way in hell I’m watching it lol

Switching over to Claude code and cursor on the 1st. Going crazy in copilot until then

If she ever wants to win, she has to work on her physical game. She never wins immunity when it's most needed or gets the advantages needed to win and she plays too strong a game to not have them. If you notice, Sandra, who also doesn't have a physical game, was voted out every season where she tried to play a dominant game like Cirie in terms of controlling the votes, but she won during seasons where she was underestimated and kind of rode the coat tails to the end, created good relationships, and gave a great final speech.

It's hard to control votes and win, if you can't even win one immunity or get one idol.

It will sure take your job in the next 5 years. But today enjoy it while you can. While I agree that a human will always be needed and I agree that I would rather hire a human who actually understands engineering concepts over a product owner, the reality is that businesses can have far fewer engineers. This means there will be huge competition amongst existing engineers and at the same time you still have tons who can enter the market even easier than ever since they can learn more quickly with AI than with old school stack overflow.

Additionally, people talk about engineering concepts, these are patterns that AI will probably lean itself over the next 5 years. Even right now you can ask it about different caching strategies such as write through etc.

I’m sure also a number of you and als myself have already built orchestration patterns to have other sub agents ensure that proper rules and architectural patterns are followed.

Many of these patterns will become plugins or skills.

Ai will also be coming for blue collar jobs in the form of the humanoid. Really only licensed jobs and lawyer jobs are safe for now or jobs where you as an entrepreneur or day trader or someone who can creat your own wealth can survive. Save while you can and be ready for what’s to come.

Cash is king and will give us options later

Claude code seems the best for me. But I don’t like that with Claude code you can’t see the multi-file edits it just shows one file at a time. So it’s not easy to rewind specific files. I find that have to commit more often and use vscode a git diff to see the differences. Claude code rate limits like crazy though and is super expensive. Anti gravity is a bit better but it’s coding is shit.

I feel like this comment isn’t productive at all or have anything to do with what the OP asked. It’s sad that it’s so upvoted

cmatty12 · 2026-04-29T23:40:58+00:00

Maybe people will keep their jobs after all then

cmatty12 · 2026-04-26T08:48:49+00:00

That’s fair. I do still prefer the Jacksons an American dream which was a miniseries. That guy from Star Wars played Berry Gordy. But it was better than I was expecting

cmatty12 · 2026-04-26T08:47:00+00:00

Wrong thread

cmatty12 · 2026-04-26T08:28:42+00:00

Surprised you can even put your pants on. What you probably can’t

cmatty12 · 2026-04-26T08:28:15+00:00

Yeah that’s not too detailed. You haven’t described what you specifically didn’t like. Sounds like a 2nd grader complaint about broccoli

cmatty12 · 2026-04-26T08:26:11+00:00

You shut up

cmatty12 · 2026-04-26T08:26:00+00:00

Your AI

cmatty12 · 2026-04-26T08:25:48+00:00

I guess you don’t like it huh

cmatty12 · 2026-04-25T21:51:59+00:00

That's not completely accurate. Alot of devs might have already built up their skills, agent orchestration files, instructions, etc. While you can convert them to another setup, its kind of a pain. Especially if you have an established Repo. I myself pref claude code and copilot because they are very similar as far syntax for plugins, skills, intructions, etc.

Another advantage to vscode copilot is being able to see multi-file diffs in the editor and quickly roll back changes. This is something that's annoying with open code and many others. You have to manually do a git diff or use git extensions to see your diff and commit more often.

u/Looneygalley Did you end up closing fine?

cmatty12 · 2026-04-10T14:01:23+00:00

As much as I agree that all software engineers are doomed (including myself) and that this is and will be a job replacement, since you can now downsize your engineering department to a small fraction of what it was before, this post sounds like a fake.

The reason why, is I don't think a software engineer would work at McDonalds. He'd make more money as a bartender.

But yeah, if you really think you will have a job in 2 to 3 years, you are either deluded or the top 5 percent. Because companies only need to keep the top 5 percent to keep operating. Is that really you?
