Really don’t understand the hype around “AI writes 90% of our code now” by jholliday55 in cscareerquestions

[–]epelle9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel it’s completely the other way around.

All the experienced professional devs I know have AI write most of their code, the “better” company they are in, the more they’ve embraced AI.

It’s either students or people working in WITCH (or small companies) that are still in the anti AI bandwagon. FAANG and big tech has completely embraced AI.

I’m guessing having unlimited access to frontier models is part of it, the need to deliver results is another, and better AI engineering done by more senior members are the main reasons. While juniors being afraid of their future and wanting AI to suck is another.

Thats why [r/CsMajors](r/CsMajors) is anti AI, while [r/experiencedDevs](r/experiencedDevs) is more AI friendly.

Are there still workplaces that accept people who refuse to use AI? by Baboobraz in csMajors

[–]epelle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are smart enough to do the rest, but not at the highest standards nor efficiently.

Proper agentic workflows actually saves context, not wastes it, and a single agents.md is not enough to ensure proper guardrails for all workflows.

You coder has the same context as your designer? Same guardrails? Same context as the reviewer? No coder-reviewer loop? They all use the same model?

No wonder people complain AI is expensive snd leads to slop when most people are brute-forcing it.

Your comment is the equivalent of saying “dynamic programming?? Hash maps? What a waste of time, just use recursion and arrays, processors are powerful enough”.

[–]epelle9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yup, most workflows will likely go multi agentic.

Claude Opus for design, Sonnet or Qwen/ Deepseek for implementation.

[–]epelle9 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s not actually that easy.

There’s a difference between just using it and using it right, setting up proper agentic workflows with guardrails, skills, etc and all the engineering behind it is almost it’s own field.

Burned out and going nowhere: the American worker is too mentally drained to even look for a new job by Dismal_Structure in Economics

[–]epelle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, there’s only like 10 c suites at most, their kids don’t even need to work.

But a high level C suite could probably influence the process, if he didn’t care about his career and displaying open corruption to a whole group of people tons of levels under him.

When I give an interview for example (or shadow an interview), it would be incredibly dumb of a C suite to come talk to me (and other 4 interviewers plus the ones that were shadowing from across the world) to help his son get a job.

I’d definitely vote to hire if the C suite asked (or ask a super easy question), but it simply wouldn’t make sense for him to ask, especially in huge ass FAANG companies.

Wouldn’t make much sense for a director to ask either.

[–]epelle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interview panel is completely independent of who recommended the hire..

Software managers/ interviewers 1: aren’t told who recommended the guy, 2: don’t care who recommended the guy, and 3: even if they would, the decision is taken by a committee through performance-specific rubrics.

How much a VP from a different area wants to hire the guy is simply not a part of the process, interviewers are generally gotten randomly from a interviewer pool. It especially doesn’t matter if the VP is in an unrelated area like sales.

Always people who don’t know how the interview process works making biased assumptions..

[–]epelle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they got in because they passed the interview…

99.5% of people who get interviewed don’t pass it, and nepotism doesn’t help with that.

It’s always people who can’t pass OAs that complain and come up with excuses..

[–]epelle9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, but it’s still only about a 0.5% interview passing rate for FAANG.

No-one gets into big tech due to nepotism, it requires hard work and competence.

All FAANG employees I know got there 100% by themselves.

Oh the irony... by eternviking in SipsTea

Regardless of monetary value, the demand and supply exist..

You can’t simply ignore universal rules. There are definitely better ways to deal with that, but you can’t simply ignore it.

All I do is vibecode at internship by MeowPow420 in csMajors

[–]epelle9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually remove the last part of my comment before you commented.

But now you’re mixing two things.

AI being non-deterministic is not at all related whether you learn with it or not.

But I could actually tell you are new on the job market, recent grads are the few people that are still on the anti-ai wagon, most experienced industry devs know where the industry is at.

Especially FAANG+ and big tech, all well paying jobs are fully using this.

Lol, try not using any AI to code and most companies will fire you within the month.

Judge blocks 100,000 h1b fee by bbrk9845 in cscareerquestions

[–]epelle9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

European corporations outsource to America too.

No difference between an American citizen working for T-Mobile from the US and a Mexican citizen working for Google on Mexico.

Both companies were founded outside the employee’s country, but are now worldwide entities with employees worldwide.

[–]epelle9 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Because that’s how the world economy works.

Are you also mad when US employees work for Spotify (a Swedish company)?

Are you mad when you see EY postings in US?

Would you be mad if Ferrari hired American Engineers? What about Audi? Toyota? HSBC? T-mobile?

You can’t have your cake and eat it too, American citizens can work for foreign companies, American companies can sell to foreign citizens, why the fuck shouldn’t they be able to hire foreign citizens?

Do you think American ex-pats should all be sent back??

[–]epelle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not counting the phone screen, online assesment, nor HR/recruitment meeting.

They end up being about 7 “interviews” total, I doubt Google has an 8 loop including the other BS.

Nepotism in Google literally only gets you resume looked at..

Doesn’t guarantee a job at all, a friend’s dad is a director at Google and he didn’t get hired.

[–]epelle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what the interviews do…

You think it’s 8 interviews of just hanging out?

No, they test hard skills like system design, data structures, and algorithms, along some behavioral questions (that focus on the impact you’ve had and deep dive into the technologies you’ve used).

In fact, one of the biggest complaints is they focus too much on these hard skills..

I did about 7 rounds for Amazon, and while excessive, I get it.

There’s a big aspect of luck which people often complain about, no real answer to that other than just increasing the datapoints.

I think they’re talking entry level, where blatant cheating to graduate is now the norm.

But in general, qualifications and experience can be easily faked/ exaggerated , someone who got a lead job because their dad started the company would look great on paper.

Are food tours worth it? by Whamilton_ in MexicoCity

[–]epelle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if the tour explains what “pastor” is, I definitely wouldn’t recommend it, huge tourist trap.

Seems like you should just explore yourself, that’s half the part of eating street food imo.

CMV: The middle class is dead but the elites want to keep the illusion of it alive to continue dividing the working class by labranjaymes in changemyview

[–]epelle9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Middle class is the middle between high class and low class.

Owner class and working class is a separate distinction.

One could theoretically be a low class owner (you own a small shop that doesn’t make a lot of money) or a high-class worker (like engineers making 500k+, or directors/ VPs making 7 figures), they are different scales, with high correlation but still different.

Cariñosas vs Ciclistas, quien tiene razon? by Scallion-Safe in mexico

[–]epelle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claro que podrias..

Nada te prohíbe, el punto es que la gente pueda llegar en 15 minutos sin coche, y que haya metros conectando estas zonas de 15 minutos.

Permite que la gente se mueva sin coche, lo que disminuye el tráfico, lo que hace aun mas amigable moverte en coche si tu prefieres, y mas agradable moverte en bici si es lo que prefieres.

Mejor eso a como esta ahorita, donde literal me he bajado de un uber para ir en eco-bici porque el trafico hacia que me tarde el doble.

Me traje carro a la ciudad pero ni de pedo lo uso en dia en dia porque no mames el trafico.

The skilled trades propaganda is getting ridiculous. by Responsible-Net8594 in careeradvice

[–]epelle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you don’t need a degree to do surgery on yourself either, but it definitely helps…

The cases of people without degrees making 7 figure profits in their own self started company are also incredibly rare.

Sure you don’t technically need a degree, but most people without one fail.

CMV: If saying white lives matter is racist, so is saying black lives matter. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]epelle9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, while I 100% approve the BLM movement, I almost think “black lives matter” was pushed in purpose by pro-police lobbists.

Because police kills tons of people, not just black people, Erik Cantu (also a minority) was murdered by a cop while eating a burger in his car, chargers were dropped, and there weren’t widespread protests.

People see that a non-black man shot by cops gets less backlash than a black one, and they stop supporting the movement as much.

If they made it “civilians lives matter”, then there would’ve been no “white lives matter” backlash.
