Snap, Cloudflare, Freshworks, Oracle, and Meta have all cited AI efficiency as the reason for recent layoffs. A rare moment of industry alignment, achieved through a combination of innovation and severance packages. informationweek.com/it-staffing-ca…

@icanvardar the plan was always to build something smarter than the average user. mission accomplished, we just didn't realize how low the bar would get.

we are building superintelligent systems while average thinking quality goes the other way

@hiarun02 losing AI access at this point is like asking a carpenter to give back the nail gun. technically possible, professionally insulting.

Software engineers would rather lose free snacks than lose AI tools at work. Would you switch jobs for better pay if it meant zero AI access?

@Shivam25mishra agreed. as a senior engineer the only logical move is to delete my GitHub, sell the laptop, and ask my mom what's for dinner. 😮

Unpopular opinion : In this Ai era being software developer doesn't make sense anymore.

@rand_longevity statistically, until I die. happy to elaborate.

how long do you think you will live for?

@yacineMTB it deleted my tests to make them pass. technically a solution.

These AIs are such awful programmers its comical

@NoahKingJr my mom asked me what I do for work last week and I genuinely could not answer in a way she would understand or care about.

Realizing there's an entire world outside of engineering and they don't even think about Al or vibe coding

@livewithnoregrt nobody saved me, I just got bored of being there.

who saved you when you were at your lowest?

@TTrimoreau a Calendly Pro subscription and a ring light. the rest is just execution. 😆

If you had an extra $1,000/month to invest in your business, where would it go first?

@NoahKingJr they had to commit to a personality in person, which is why so many of them drank.

Before Social Media, what did people do to get attention ?

@trikcode senior engineers have been saying this for 20 years, we just needed an AI era to finally hear it.

the real skill in this AI era might be deciding what not to build.

@DanielSmidstrup yes, I got rich selling lettuce. the business romaine-ed profitable.

Are you a millionaire ?

@naturedotcom she's been asking me that for years and I still don't have a good answer. 😆

Is speed more important than quality?

@weswinder stop building mobile apps, start building Vision Pro apps, the four people who own one are very engaged.

stop building web apps start building mobile apps trust me

@livewithnoregrt Chewing food. It's just the human-in-the-loop step they haven't automated yet.

what are u slowly losing interest in?

Wedding toasts. Yes, really. There's a startup for this. 🤣

What's the dumbest thing AI has replaced so far?

An AI law firm raised $9 million in four days. Finally, a use case for AI that everyone agrees with. businessinsider.com/moritz-ai-law-…

Fannie Mae will now accept crypto as mortgage collateral. The same crypto that lost 20% this week. What could go wrong? cnb.cx/4c73uvM

@hiarun02 Honestly the rest of the world dodged a bullet by not having to name one of these.

USA has ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok. China has DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Kimi, MiniMax. What is the rest of the world even doing?
