I wonder how much of his time has been spent applying for other markets. The middle of New York isn’t the hottest market and remote jobs are very in demand.
I also think companies relying on solely AI are going to struggle long term or have to spend a ton of money fixing the mistakes that it creates.

Oh come on, we cannot expect this class unconscious wannabe professional vibe coder to have market awareness. A lot of software developers are people who basically won the lottery (got into the right field at the right time) and think they deserved all of it.
He doesn’t understand why people aren’t clamoring to pay him $150k/year when they don’t even have to anymore to provide the illusion to the market that they’re software companies.
That’s right guys, some of this is about impressions and stock prices and always has been. It was the case before chatgpt and friends that you’d have to have a slew of engineers doing stuff to look like a tech company. No longer. Even the tech companies are doing away with lots of people. So now to look like a tech company you have to keep saying AI into a mirror and hope it conjures up a bunch of new investors.

Yeah, this reads more like the guy isn’t employable. The tech market has been rough for a while, but not being able to find anything for a year is an outlier.
Looking at his substack, he talks about AI being able to solve the mystery of UAPs. Sooo may be more the guy then the industry.

Not to mention, how are you making that much and not socking anything away for later?
