there’s a dude on youtube making a video with a burst blood vessel in his eye. the title is “software developer driven to insanity by 2026 job market” and he’s pointing at his eye as evidence of the stress he’s going through. garrett’s a rather normal dude and there were no obvious tells as to why this guy has not been able to find a job for 9 months since he was laid off in july. but there was a hint. at one point he describes how he went really far in an interview process, and he was absolutely sure he was gonna get the job. they hire someone else and the dude is incredulous. he asks them wtf!? they show him the winning candidate entry. garrett used 50% ai and 50% manual coding. he was sitting there being thoughtful and deliberate and properly naming functions and variables and designing modular architectures. meanwhile the winning application was a dude who used 100% ai and his app had a shit ton more features. and he delivered it faster. so, that’s the kind of dude being hired now. garrett didn’t get the job. but someone else did. so the job is there. the job was open. just not for you. the thing getting you hired in 2019, like obsessing over code quality and maintainability and best practices, will get you fired in 2026. the market has spoken. if you want to land a dev job, make more slop. they want more features done faster at a lower cost. your job is not to argue. it is to provide the thing they are seeking. pick 3 companies you really wanna work for, then build their entire app in a weekend as your cover letter. applying to doordash? build their 3-sided market place in 2 hours. applying to google? build your own search engine that does a 2-hour web crawl. reading code is a dead thing. no one reads their own code anymore, let alone yours. they will run your app. and they’ll judge you off that. build more slop. build a slop empire. imagine more slop. be the slop. slop slop slop. get the job. make money. give your boss the slop he wants. don’t argue. slop is peace. slop is strength. inhale the slop. exhale it. oh you wanna be an artist? cute. go code on a city street like a bucket drummer. you code by hand for tips now. otherwise, off to the slop factory. enjoy it! enjoy the sloppagaden! make a little money!

Antigamente, no trabalho, eu tinha uma puta dopamina quando codava e encontrava a solução para "problemas complexos" Agora a unica dopamina que eu sinto é quando a IA não consegue resolver algo, eu dou uma sugestão, ela resolve o problema e fala "excelente ideia!" Mas a real é que trabalho nunca foi sobre dopamina. Acho que os devs ficaram muito mal acostumado com essa ideia de que codar é divertido e hacker lifestyle wow let's go codar ouvindo musica no escuro tomando monster Eu vejo que principalmente os iniciantes ainda estão muito relutantes em aceitar esse fato Falar com eles sobre IA é como matar uma fada, você sente o desgosto na cara, como se tivesse traindo o movimento

Eu não costumo ir a favor da maré fácil e bater quando todo mundo tá batendo. O elenco do ABC é um bom elenco e tem condição de jogar bem e ser competitivo nas competições que disputa. Ele era absurdamente mal escalado e se propunha a um jogo que não fazia sentido.
