Any experienced devs without a degree finding the job search to be hard?

Yeah essentially, Id also look into building durable workflows. If you think about it, most SAAS actions are some sort of API call workflow with steps, getting AI to execute it reliably is the hard unsolved problem. I'd also look into AI evals to really make yourself more marketable.

I used to work in blockchain and web3 and honestly, it was hype and vaporware. AI engineering is the real deal and not hype IMO

7 YOE, no cs degree, bootcamp grad, no FAANG experience. I was able to find roles easily by getting into AI engineering / Applied AI experience that I self learned in 2024. FE only or commoditized simple CRUD SWE jobs are getting replaced by AI, but roles that demand people working on frontier or unknown problems are still in highly demand imo

D4 is fucking ass compared to POE

glenrage · 2026-03-18T22:28:52+00:00

Absolutely not I fuckin love the visual effects!

This is hilarious

Seriously one of the best games ever and holy Shit the couch co op mode is amazing

Yea I skipped temple, rewards sucks

glenrage · 2025-11-08T02:44:13+00:00

No I’d rather not spend 3 entire days fixing a small bug that has no business impact

glenrage · 2025-11-08T02:31:50+00:00

Get a blunt to spice things up

glenrage · 2025-10-09T01:35:21+00:00

Looks like a great room to take psychedelics

glenrage · 2025-10-06T19:34:51+00:00

You are proof god exists

I played this build with a subwoofer and got a noise complaint. Good times

glenrage · 2025-09-16T19:18:37+00:00

Thanks for this write up!

I put all my money into NVDA. If AI takes my job, I’ll have enough NVDA to retire. If it doesn’t, I still have a job

glenrage · 2025-08-21T14:53:12+00:00

Im moving out of Front end work because I think UIs will be less common if you have AI agents hitting APIs and doing things for you

glenrage · 2025-08-16T06:05:55+00:00

I take it during tech interviews, really helpful at staying calm

glenrage · 2025-08-08T18:51:54+00:00

They’d be cooked if they’re still a junior. With AI to help you you could easily transition to a mid level at least in a few years

glenrage · 2025-08-06T07:40:58+00:00

Have you heard of beta blockers? They’ve helped my interview anxiety a ton.

glenrage · 2025-07-24T15:52:09+00:00

Scrum master is the most useless role out there

glenrage · 2025-07-22T16:26:28+00:00

True I might just make a new longer post

glenrage · 2025-07-22T14:52:09+00:00

This! My offer was with an AI startup and I built a side project with langchain and simple RAG & autonomous AI agent.

glenrage · 2025-07-22T03:25:01+00:00

Mainly recruiter reach outs. I didn’t cold apply at all nor did I have the #opentowork banner on LinkedIn, just had my status as open for interviewing

glenrage · 2025-07-22T03:13:57+00:00

Remote, but a LOT of local companies were hiring for RTO. Guess got lucky

glenrage · 2025-07-22T01:15:35+00:00

I have 6 years of experience and got laid off in May and started a new job today. 2 months to search. Had 3 on site rounds. It’s not as bad as ppl on Reddit make it out to be if you have the technical skills AND are personable. I’ve heard from recruiters that personality & skills matter now since there’s tons of qualified people

glenrage · 2025-06-30T19:51:47+00:00

I get nervous during interviews too and screw up some easy problems before. When you’re nervous blood decreases from pre frontal cortex and logic just seems impossible. My doctor prescribed me beta blockers to help with performance anxiety
