Apologies to everyone I pressed into quitting Messenger to switch to WA in the 10s. Hopefully I'm not repeating the same error in the 20s, but with WA->Signal. 😞
Yeah there are certainly logistical comparisons that could be made, but like c'mon... actually being completely and legally owned would suck so so so so much worse. Just another reminder of what's at stake if we don't put up a fight.
Hahaha I think our alts all got some attention last week. I switched to a more local one rather than interest based, so it was actually cool seeing more geographically relevant posts.

That's my intuition too. In my experience, adopting AI mostly has lead to marginally faster MVPs, balooning sloc in PRs, and an explosion of wildly unqualified people applying for tech roles and sometimes even getting them.
It's a better kind of nihilistic business story to say that LLMs have been so disruptive, that people are getting fired, rather than investors are scared and greedy and are just being guided around by vibes and their amygdalae right now.
What you're doing is the secret sauce already, you're just missing luck. Obviously take whatever job you need to pay rent in the meantime, but if you keep it up then I think you'll get something eventually.
It is the worst time in all of history to be a software developer looking for work, so don't internalise it.
