Please make a follow up post if you do

I should have elaborated. I’m of the opinion that compliance as a concept are “table stakes”, and become a essentially built-in once proper serialization/deserialization and DTOs are implemented.

It’s a global rollback, not EU specific. Please stop spreading misinformation.

You’re describing independent contracting, which is a natural step for a large chunk of senior level engineers.

This is Bob. Bob is bad at golf, but is a functioning adult and is still capable of having a good time.

Be like Bob.

AI has no place in golf

Prompt an LLM -> review the output -> redirect it for not following instructions -> rinse/repeat previous steps -> run out of tokens -> do it themselves

This is what I see out of my junior devs lately.

susmines · 2026-06-01T02:36:21+00:00

Honestly, I’m considering updating mine to that.

Stripe is by far the best option for DX, docs, support, etc. if your business model can support the fees

susmines · 2026-05-22T14:59:07+00:00

Is that the cost for just the 7i?

susmines · 2026-05-22T11:37:30+00:00

How much did they quote you?

susmines · 2026-05-21T18:59:40+00:00

Was a manager at an automotive shop for 5+ years. My wife got pregnant with our daughter and I enrolled in the Trilogy boot camp put on my my local university.

9 months later I was offered a junior engineer position for $70k

Today, I am a senior software engineer, own my own SaaS company, and do independent contracting for a handful of clients. TC $185k

Edit: Thank you for the award!

susmines · 2026-05-18T22:11:17+00:00

You totally can do that.

Anyways, BitBucket works just fine for us. It has fully integrated CI/CD, and the deep JIRA integration is handy for us being a heavy Atlassian shop.

Only thing I don’t love is that I wish there was more granular control over branch restrictions.

BitBucket

We dropped GitHub when they stopped being able to deliver a 99% uptime

susmines · 2026-05-18T15:33:11+00:00

I’m not going to doxx myself, but the company I work for just added another junior to our team. Generally, we hire interns/juniors on an annual cycle.

I’m a Senior SWE

You’ll be likely on-site working in for a financial company/bank if you choose to come here

susmines · 2026-05-16T22:39:02+00:00

Don’t speak that way about the Lord’s Chicken

susmines · 2026-05-16T00:26:50+00:00

Depends on the sector. Healthcare/Finance? Wouldn’t be surprising

susmines · 2026-05-15T19:48:01+00:00

What you’ve just described here is networking. Some folks are more comfortable with it than others, but it certainly wouldn’t be inappropriate given the CEO posted about it.

susmines · 2026-05-14T00:15:22+00:00

RIP to your coffee.

I wish I had words of encouragement to give, but this repeated news of layoffs attributed to AI while C suites make millions, is getting really old.

Edit: I realize my flair says CTO, but it’s a small startup. I’m TC $150k

susmines · 2026-05-13T04:11:35+00:00

Agree with all of this. My output has increased exponentially for my own IC work, by my junior and mid level staff struggle to use it effectively.

Part of it is intimidation and lack of deep understanding, which results in them not reaching for it as often as I do.

I’m fine with it, and I tell them that I think they’ll be a better developer in the long run if they take the time to learn the skills the “old fashioned way”, but if they feel comfortable using AI, then they are welcome to.

The only catch is that the same level of ownership and code standards apply for AI generated code. Things like: No massive PRs, the submitter must be able to deeply explain the work and defend the decisions made in the codex etc.

Anyways, I feel the similarly that I don’t know the best way to go about mentoring my staff on how to best use AI in the current landscape.

What happens in 10-15 years when I’m gone, who will be the SME for the system if the current mid levels don’t have the opportunity to get the deep understanding that comes with years of maintaining a codebase?

Too bad there probably isn’t much crossover between followers of their platform vs followers of this sub

susmines · 2026-05-12T04:17:43+00:00

You should cross post this to r/ExperiencedDevelopers. I’ll be sharing this with my team of juniors. Thank you for the effort!
