I thought this was a joke. Meta now has made 30-50% of software engineers on core teams become data labelers.

Their job is "giving human feedback on AI-generated Github repos" in an org called Agent Data Optimization.

Maybe we are all training data generators after all.

WHAT IRAN GOT:

•$300 billion
•Removed sanctions
•Control of Strait of Hormuz
•Maintains missile program
•No destruction of nuclear program
•No mention of allies
•$100 billion unfrozen money access.

IRAN WON! The U.S. CAPITULATED!

Indian telecom Reliance is sabotaging access to Telegram for millions of users OUTSIDE India (including the UAE) via a rogue method called BGP hijacking.

The sabotage seems intentional, as Reliance has ignored multiple reports.

This may be part of a competitive war, as Reliance is partially owned by Meta — the company behind WhatsApp.

Network operators are advised to reject unauthorized BGP announcements from Reliance (AS18101) to prevent route hijacks and ensure stable Internet access for their users.

Such abuse of global Internet routing is alarming. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reliance/WhatsApp were also behind the recent lobbying effort to ban Telegram in India.

Claude Fable 5 is by far the most ridiculous model that makes me genuinely afraid for the future of software engineering.

I compiled the top 10 most unbelievable things I've seen Claude Fable 5 do today:

— Migrate a 50M line codebase from Stripe in a day (humans take 2mos)
— Draw amazing 3D graphics a) Boeing 747 b) space simulations with >5000 objects c) Minecraft roller coasters d) full photorealistic forest scenes e) NYC skyline f) stormy clouds)
— One-shot Pokemon FireRed the game
— Optimize a real world proprietary interaction net evaluator 10x more than the next best model, gpt5.5

AND it's about the same price as GPT 5.5 ($10/M input, $45/M output) vs Fable 5 ($10/M input, $50/M output) and 6x cheaper than GPT 5.5 Pro.

24 Jahre, Maschinenbau-Master (Abschluss 2026 in Stuttgart)

Nach 82 Bewerbungen, 14 Vorstellungsgesprächen und drei Angeboten bleibt eine ernüchternde Erkenntnis: Einstiegsgehälter unter 48.000 € brutto – ein deutlicher Rückgang gegenüber den 58–62k, die noch vor wenigen Jahren Standard waren.

Die angebliche „Fachkräftekrise“ offenbart sich für viele von uns als struktureller Nachfrageschwund in den Kernbranchen des Ingenieurwesens.

Die verbleibenden Optionen sind ernüchternd: Entweder der öffentliche Dienst – wo man für verlässliche 4.200 € netto die wachsende Bürokratie weiter ausbauen und mit noch mehr Vorschriften und Formularen die verbliebene Privatwirtschaft strangulieren darf. Oder der Koffer packen und abwandern.

Die DIHK spricht inzwischen offen von „klaren Anzeichen einer Deindustrialisierung“. In Baden-Württemberg erwartet laut aktueller IHK-Umfrage fast jedes dritte Unternehmen eine weitere Verschlechterung – besonders im Maschinen- und Fahrzeugbau.

Gleichzeitig brechen die Erstsemesterzahlen in den technischen Fächern ein (Maschinenbau allein -3,3 % im letzten Wintersemester). Die Hörsäle leeren sich, während Ressourcen vermehrt in performative Quoten, Gender-Leerstühle und ideologische Nebenfächer fließen.

Das harte technische Wissen verlässt nicht nur die Werke, sondern auch die Universitäten und schließlich die Köpfe einer Generation.

Ein Blick nach Südkorea, Singapur oder Taiwan zeigt das Gegenmodell: Dort werden exzellente Ingenieure als strategisches Nationalvermögen behandelt – nicht als Relikte einer angeblich „toxisch maskulinen“ Vergangenheit.

Der deutsche Selbsthass hat sich zur aktiven Standortpolitik entwickelt.
Wir bauen keine Zukunft mehr.
Wir dokumentieren ihren geordneten, hochbürokratisierten Rückzug.

Wer gerade in der Bewerbungsphase steckt: Wie erlebt ihr diese Diskrepanz zwischen Ausbildung und Realität?
