🚨 OpenAI didn’t win by building better AI.
They won by deleting the entire dev workflow.
build Codex to generate code
realize devs still juggle 5 tools
install → lint → type-check → test → deploy
so they didn’t improve the model…
they removed the pain
buy the f*cking tools
integrate everything
automate the entire loop
boom.
now:
→ code writes itself
→ dependencies install themselves
→ errors get fixed automatically
→ tests run without asking
→ features ship end-to-end
Codex isn’t “AI coding” anymore.
it’s the entire dev environment.

Hot takes:
1. Job-hopping will pay you faster than loyalty ever will.
2. Refusing small beginnings is a silent career killer.
3. University is the same as being unemployed but your parents are proud of you
4. Job hunting is such a humiliation ritual
5. Leaving a toxic job for your mental health is actually a win.
6. Imagine applying for a job then not picking up calls from random numbers
7. Anyone saying “my job gives me a purpose in life" is genuinely a slave

@carlos_bra31870 this is the scary part
people can ship faster than they can explain what they built
English

@sickdotdev I know senior devs first-hand that no longer remember the core concepts because they just let AI do absolutely everything
English

@sickdotdev Not just vine coding but using claude, gemini, chatgpt for anything stops learning.

@pablobuilding this is the only sane take here
ai before fundamentals = illusion of skill
ai after fundamentals = leverage
English

@sickdotdev Depends on where you start.
If you vibe code before understanding the fundamentals:
yes, it stops learning.
If you vibe code after:
it accelerates building.
The foundation has to come first.

@SimonovicDev you are learning answers faster
not necessarily learning how to think
English

False — it actually speeds up learning. You no longer have to spend hours digging through Google, Stack Overflow, or documentation. Instead, you get exactly what you need much faster.
In my 8+ years as a developer, I haven’t learned as much as I have in just the past few months using AI for coding. It also helps you discover new ways of thinking about problems.
