  The near future? How is this a sustainable business model for any business? You just need one developer and “agentic” AI to build anything, how do you differentiate yourself?

  But before that problem, I don’t see the current tools anywhere near able to deliver on the hype. They are incredible and they have plenty of use cases, but for anything non trivial it feels like it’s more work fixing the errors they create than just doing it myself. I think I’d kill myself if I had to review and fix multiple agents worth of indecipherable code.

  All that being said, everyone still might get laid off! It doesn’t have to be good to crash the market.

  I think you’re missing the spirit of their comment. They are not saying they get out of the tank right then, they are saying eventually everyone has get out of the tank and go back to their home and if your neighbors aren’t happy with you…

  Yeah this is all bit click bait. That broken rust song topped the digital sales charts, which is basically tracking Apple Music downloads. No one buys music anymore. They topped it with 3000 sales at a dollar each.

  I don’t feel like the H1B is as big of an issue as outsourcing is. The company that I was just laid off from also laid off all the H1Bs and outsourced pretty much every junior role to India. I’m hearing about this in a lot of other companies as well. While this is anecdotal, it seems to me that with the rise of remote work, it proved that out sourcing was very viable. India has a huge talent pool of highly skilled engineers, who can speak English and are willing to work for pennies on the dollar. I’m not sure where AI plays part in this. Perhaps, it allows those outsourced developers to provide higher quality code faster than ever before, but I have no way to prove that.

  Either way, it’s pretty much a blood bath in tech right now, not sure what to do myself. Considering going back to my old career.
