@mpetyx The biggest moat imo is not the lack of opportunities/job openings but the ability to get something that works (or looks like it works) with relatively low effort before you build your fundamentals, your critical thinking, and your ability to judge the output and its quality.
@mpetyx@cursor_ai Same here. I switched to cursor last June, and the pace at which it's improving is impressive. The latest updates of the agent, MCP support, .mdc rules rock! But still, when working on large and complex codebases, you're bound by Claude's max context.
@mpetyx AI-generated codebases reach critical mass, and then people come in to save the day. In a way, senior engineers become even more valuable, but it's a really rough landscape for entry-level people... 4/4
@mpetyx There are so many people mass-producing unmaintainable codebases that there's an emerging trend of hiring people specifically to make AI spaghetti code into a production-ready codebase 3/4
@fakiolinho@pariskasid Indeed I think that it can attract candidates, assuming the hiring manager has a good reputation. But even in those cases, phrasing matters.
"I" am hiring can come across as a bit arrogant & self centered, while "We are hiring X to join my team" gets the point across better imo.
@pariskasid@fakiolinho In some cases though, "I" am hiring can show you your hiring manager and the team you'll join.
As organizations grow, they can become distant and impersonal. Knowing you'll be working with someone you either respect/get along/heard good things about gives a more personal touch.
Join @akalipetis and me today at @Docker Athens online at 7pm local Greek time to talk about "Docker for ECS" and uniform tooling from development to massively scalable production.

@MitchKarajohn@mpetyx@SlackHQ Well, it can be "absolutely chaotic and a really poor replacement" and "Much smoother than expected.." at the same time! As long as your expectations are very very low 😂😂
I am truly honored to receive the ACM-SIGARCH & IEEE-CS TCCA Outstanding Dissertation Award Honorable Mention! Special thanks to my thesis advisors, Babak and Ed, for making this possible. @bfalsafi@ebugnion@sigarch@ICepfl@gatech_scs
