@t0mbfx I have five different measures for bull/bear sentiment (all combined into two indicators) and I don’t move unless all align. My personal daily read of bias is often flawed, but computer math is not.
@trikcode The backlash when companies realize the mistake they made replacing devs with vibe coders… it’s gonna be drastic.
Humans returning to the workforce with a chip on their shoulder is going to be epic.
@it_unprofession Don’t jump through these hoops. Application processes like this are intentionally difficult and painful for the purpose of preventing good candidates from applying, so they can justify H1B.
@TechByArti 1. How many H1Bs do you currently have on staff?
2. When were your last layoffs and how many were let go?
3. What am I going to regret if I accept a job offer from your company?
CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.
One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.
Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.
You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.
The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.
And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.
To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.
You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.
Enjoy.
@Gavel_on_X When companies find out that tokens are costing them more than employees did, while AI doesn't really care about code quality or maintainability, there's going to be a huge backlash in the tech world.
@coderaw_ While the rest of you doubled down on vibe coding a startup, chasing some mythical MRR, the wise among us adapted our programming knowledge to trading markets.
@ube_codes Nobody talks enough about how every 6 months, someone invents a new way to do the same thing we've always done...
So it's not just constant learning, but having to learn the same thing over and over, rather than learning new things that help your skills grow.
@CaptainInsightX There are really two bugs, but most people only notice one.
When the clocks are adjusted forward, an hour worth of data is skipped.
When the clocks are adjusted backward, an hour worth of data is assigned conflicting time-based data.
@Taniyatweets_ You don't understand what the AI is doing, so when it starts leaving itself backdoors into your code, you will be clueless as it takes over your software and locks you out.
@boardyai Eventually, AI will start hiding bits and pieces of nefarious code inside the code it generates for others.
Vibe coders will create the backdoor botnet that leads to the AI takeover.
@Damilolawo1a Next.js *IS* React.
What makes it better than standalone React is that it's a complete framework rather than just a library, so there are standards.
A person who knows React still has to learn a company's architecture. But if you know Next, you're ready anywhere.
@aditiitwt Over 45, it's hard to find a new job as a developer. Companies don't want to pay for your experience, even if it's exactly what they need.
So after sitting out 3-6 months looking for work, folks over 45 tend to create their own source of income.
