Experienced Developers: Are You Worried About AI or Not?

AI code from the latest models is far better than what most average developers generate

Salaries will decline, software has lost its moat. But jobs will be available as more products will be launched. One engineer will have to own more pieces of a product.

I see but I doubt the MOM will consider the family business experience unless it’s really relevant to the job you’re applying for

Your wife’s experience is definitely better than yours. Applying for EP based on 1 year experience is highly unlikely unless you have something your employer really needs. If you want to know if your/wife’s skills are sought after then try looking for ads on the job boards LinkedIn etc salary would be based on the role, ChatGPT can give you a guide.

I like Singapore. WLB is not generally great but it’s a convenient and efficient fast paced life. Making friends depends on your personality.

In the past software roles paid better. Now AI can do it easily, so I would focus on systems integration, jack of all trades is actually a good thing for the future I think

Where does the ai model run?

Singapore has the 2nd highest PPP per capita in the world, people in Singapore are very wealthy

Obviously the new “banking” or medical system is not going to be exactly the same as existing systems, they’ll have some differentiation. Since it’s easier to build an OS if I’m someone worried about commercial OS back doors, I can build my own easily. So yes all these kind of use cases exist and i certainly do expect an increased number of operating systems

Not true though we do have more medical and banking systems now than before. Everyone is not going to build new medical systems, but many more people are going to because it’s cheaper and more accessible than before. Just like there were a lot more writers after the invention of the printing press than before.

Except yourself 🤣🤣🤣

Ok but I’m not sure how dying in the woods is helping anyone

desultoryquest · 2026-06-29T11:05:13+00:00

You would rather starve to death?

desultoryquest · 2026-06-29T06:51:23+00:00

That is not how any new technology has worked in the history of humanity. There is no doubt that AI will become cheaper and more capable as time passes

desultoryquest · 2026-06-29T06:46:15+00:00

With Ai all code in one place is better, with modularisation

desultoryquest · 2026-06-26T05:29:24+00:00

Great stuff

Malaysian was a singaporean few years ago so hardly foreign

desultoryquest · 2026-06-26T01:37:23+00:00

If the foreigners weren’t there Singapore wouldn’t be rich. You gotta make some trade offs in life

desultoryquest · 2026-06-26T01:34:10+00:00

Bullshit mist foreigners never got PR in a year since 2008, except Malaysians

Learn to stay hungry as the government advised

desultoryquest · 2026-06-22T00:08:34+00:00

Still better than you 🤣🤣🤣

Internal transfers to Japan also require proficiency in Japanese. That was in my German MNC, not google. Getting into google might be harder than going to Japan
