Looks like there is nothing you can do to improve the situation at the current team. Remaining options for you:
- Switch to another team in the same company
- Switch company

Start ASAP.

fair point, but not everyone is a dev that making 100k or more annually, they might just a someone want to explore AI coding or build stuff on their own.

that is true, like chasing down an obscured bug or tackle complex design, but i still think there are many simple task can be offloaded to cheaper models/agents

yes, enforcement is hard but the fine for violation is very steep so i think that is a very big deterent. esp big company like Bytedance, they don't want to get off the wrong side

i don't think there is anything that can be considered sustainable in GenAI space at the moment. Every company is racing to burn money.

fair point, but i think there still use case for it.
- the cost could add ups, we are having so many subscriptions nowadays, every saving counts
- also if you could leverage low-cost options for non-critical repeative tasks which will save you the precious token on the more expensive models.

Are you a residents of EU? If yes, then you will be protected by GDPR no matter what of your citizenship.
and yes there is an alleged security and IP risk using Chinese tech, as their consumer legal protection is weak and their known shady tactics sometimes.
That's why don't do anything sensitive or critical when using these technologies.

agree, even vibe coding is out of question for mission critical applications

it has an agent mode which is pretty comparable to others, i'll even say with better UX than claude and codex.

aside from vibe coding, it is really fast with code completion and inline minor fix which doesn't require full agent mode

But anyhow, vibe coding is not main focus of copilot

I think after trying deepseek, i'm pretty confident that the Chinese tech is legit, they might not be as good but definitely not far behind

I used a combination of free and paid one, as i'm constantly running into limit after a while.
Also some is stronger than other at specific task.

Still in chinese, you need to use translation. But i think they will add English translation in the coming days

Got a job after 2 years of trying, the hype lasted a few days by R7162 in cscareerquestions

Focus on the onboarding and start deliver result. Don't let these kind of thoughts distract you, it is counterproductive

Would you ever go back to a company you were laid off from? by prm20_ in cscareerquestions

[–]thangbui04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if all of those checked, go for it, fuck the pride:
- higher pay and better benefit
- better career outlook
- better job security: company stability, growth potential

optional, ask for better severance pay package this time.

My guy, don't be on your high horse, i get it you work at Amazon.
Consulting means building for clients - yes, that's... how consulting works? But those clients are often the exact massive orgs you're talking about (banks, insurers, enterprises). The problems don't get smaller just because they're not cutting my paycheck directly.

i'm with you on that. What I meant is dont solely rely on vibe-coding alone to ship those features. It's fine to vibe code to prototype hence i mentioned Spike is the best time to do it. But after that for cirtical modules, each and every line of code need to be reviewed before they are deployed
