Genuinely sad seeing all these programmers lose their jobs thanks to forced AI usage

[u/Timinator01 → u/Jastafool]

Eh H1-b is still bigger issue for new grads than AI at this point. Remove the program and you force the companies to either offshore and deal with quality issues and bad PR or hire a jr programmer and train them. The program isn’t used for highly skilled workers like it was intended.

[u/calibrik → u/Timinator01]

Ain't people on h1b generally struggle more with job hunt than domestic?

[u/distressed_by_heat → u/Timinator01]

FWIW AI is on the way to completely nuke the Indian body shops and software/service export industry. Not that it will help domestic junior engineers to find jobs in any case.

[u/Sibula97 → u/Timinator01]

WTF is H1-b?

[u/unknown_alt_acc → u/Sibula97]

Work visas in the US

[u/dontletthestankout → u/Sibula97]

What the fuck is Google?

[u/minecon1776 → u/dontletthestankout]

Idk i just use chatgbt

[u/XxDarkSasuke69xX → u/Jastafool]

It doesn't even have to be forced, AI will be used by everyone in the field wether it's forced or not.

[u/UnpluggedUnfettered → u/Jastafool]

If a programmer loses their job because someone forced them to use AI and they didn't, then they did not lose their job because of AI

[u/10Werewolves → u/UnpluggedUnfettered]

Are you dense? Managers are the ones who hire or fire new people through HR. If they think some other overworked dude can do your job with AI, they'll fire you and pay him less.

[u/Subushie → u/10Werewolves]

That's not what he's saying.

If the company requires AI workflows, and you resist due to moral outrage, then get fired?

That is a you problem, not an AI problem.

[u/10Werewolves → u/Subushie]

I know what he's saying. But most people who got fired due to AI weren't fired because of moral outrage. They'd have used it if it meant keeping their job. Management cuts them to save money. I'm gonna be honest, Anti AI people like me are a minority. A majority of the world is indifferent and will use the easier option.

[u/UnpluggedUnfettered → u/10Werewolves]

That's cool but also calling me dense because of an argument you are having with yourself is sort of a weird thing to do.

[u/10Werewolves → u/UnpluggedUnfettered]

Yeah mb I was stuck in a recursive loop like a dumb chatbot I missed your point.

[u/Subushie → u/10Werewolves]

I'm gonna be honest, Anti AI people like me are a minority.

I find this to be wholly not the case. In fact, the opposite.

But most people who got fired due to AI weren't fired because of moral outrage.

We've only termed two people at my office because of AI, and it was for this exact reason. Refusing to work on specific tasks because they required agent use.

Our partner company doesn't require AI use- but they expect an open mind to using it in your workflows; it's an immediate rejection with their application process if you take a negative stance to using it.

AI isn't replacing people. People who use AI are replacing those who won't.

[u/10Werewolves → u/Subushie]

That is also true. People do get replaced. But with automation, it also closes entire positions that people once had and replaces it with AI. In that case it's not an equitable change of hands. We're both speaking from anecdotal evidence so let's agree that I dont have the hard facts.

[u/distressed_by_heat → u/Subushie]

You're wrong, anti-AI speakers are indeed the minority, albeit the loudest. Those using AI are either indifferent to the fight altogether, or just embarrassed to admit taking the easy way so they pay lip service to the anti-AI crowd. But they are the majority.

[u/PumpkinFest24 → u/Jastafool]

And unforced. Patent-holding electrical engineer at my job now spends hours per week vibe coding js UIs.

[u/Ireeb]

Claude said it's my turn to repost this

[u/Noname_Maddox → u/Ireeb]

Wasn’t the title the top comment when this was posted yesterday

[u/HammyOverlordOfBacon → u/Noname_Maddox]

As is tradition

[u/cornmonger_ → u/Ireeb]

Le Chonk told me to smoke a cigarette

[u/Bannon9k]

This sub has seriously fallen off

[u/polacs → u/Bannon9k]

24 hours of memes about php and we are back at vibecoding

[u/ZeroG_0 → u/Bannon9k]

I can't decide if I think it's actually worse now or not - this sub has always been pretty shit if we're being honest.

[u/LetReasonRing → u/ZeroG_0]

I've been coming to this sub for years, and the biggest constant from the time I started is complaining that it's gone down hill

[u/Bannon9k → u/ZeroG_0]

There was a brief era when it was just programming related jokes and memes...

I haven't seen anything on this sub but AI bs for months now

[u/bloopiness → u/Bannon9k]

Damn. I just got here recently and hadn’t noticed until you said that. Welp

[u/Bannon9k → u/bloopiness]

Big layoffs in our field due to AI... It's to be expected but I assumed they would have given up by now

[u/bloopiness → u/Bannon9k]

I’m unbothered by these layoffs. You should be too. It doesn’t change anything except what you will do for work. Consider it a change of routine and don’t give up. These people who got laid off merely need to learn something new. If anyone thought the cybersecurity landscape would never change they were disillusioned in the first place.

Edit: crying? Like you really wanted to do the same thing for the rest of your life? Be more flexible and you become more desirable as a job candidate. Not sorry.

[u/bl0rq → u/Bannon9k]

We are too busy with the existential dread of being able to empty backlogs faster than PMs can fill them.

[u/pydry → u/bl0rq]

I got that long before AI. All you need is a particular kind of bad PM.

[u/Bannon9k → u/bl0rq]

Then you got bad PMs. I've got tons of changes I haven't even logged because we don't have the time.

[u/v3ritas1989 → u/Bannon9k]

You can just have AI listen to your meetings, transcribe them for review and the next meetings minits as well as create new tickets or edit your tickets based on what you discussed. That is actually the type of task it is very good at. You just need to change your meeting style and terminologies a bit

[u/bl0rq → u/Bannon9k]

Really don't. Just able to do so much more now than we ever thought possible. Every to do, done. Every internal "OH it would be neat if we had.." Done. Every bit of technical debt paid. It's both glorious and dreadful at the same time.

[u/Talos108 → u/Bannon9k]

I find the camelCase gimmick a little annoying

[u/Woxan → u/Bannon9k]

Always has been fallen off

[u/rgvtim → u/Bannon9k]

why too much worrying about AI, like the lady who doth protest too much.

[u/SSeanin → u/Bannon9k]

Nah dude as much as I agree with you, I'm definitely replacing vibe coding with cuck coding XD

[u/Bannon9k → u/SSeanin]

The compiler has been cucking you for decades

[u/SSeanin → u/Bannon9k]

This was diabolical ngl

[u/No-Con-2790]

Listen, I have to do 5 features before lunch. This thing is less a relationship and more a walk-up brothel.

So I take all the help I can get. Hauler when you need help with one of the heavy ones.

[u/kilopeter → u/No-Con-2790]

"Hauler" is some straight /r/BoneAppleTea shit

[u/GonzoStateOfMind → u/kilopeter]

Haha such a great sub-reddit - and I didn't even connect it with Holler at first read!

[u/stupled]

Replace Vs Code with Jira.

[u/TheThousandMasks → u/stupled]

This is the answer

[u/glorious_reptile]

This post makes me unreasonably angry

[u/XxDarkSasuke69xX]

Mom said it was my time to post this

[u/Puzzleheaded-Weird66]

its clearly an asshole, so vs code does the pegging

[u/phoneplatypus]

You’re still using VSCode? Haven’t opened it in months

[u/Sweaty_Cellist_4525 → u/phoneplatypus]

Idk why I laughed so bad at this

[u/heavy-minium → u/phoneplatypus]

I only use terminal now, IDEs are for noobs.
*Claude Code CLI

[u/MallAgreeable5538]

They dont use the inbuilt shit? Well I don’t need ai. I use codium

[u/ismaelgo97]

There are only two sides, either having personality as full AI supporter or AI hater, everybody around AI anyway

[u/RebronSplash60]

Linus Torvalds apparently :(.

[u/happycamperjack]

Yo VSCode, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Claude + ChatGPT is the greatest CLI fun buddy combo of all time!

[u/Any_Presentation_777]

I think I was one of the last to adopt “vibe coding” at my company. Every month, the company gives its engineering team a set token allowance. At the beginning, it wasn’t a big deal, since I could still keep up with my coworkers on day-to-day tasks without relying heavily on AI. But now that the company has a set of Agent skills tailored for our stack, MCPs, and knowledge graphs for every division, I have no choice. I have to force myself to use them, or I’ll be left behind. Now all I do every day is type a few prompts and watch it go. It’s so weird that programming has come to this.

[u/Heathclor]

Its not my code base, I don't care how the code got there.

[u/Master_Germany_]

[u/CryZe92]

Also being called a project lead

[u/thether]

More like Claude will watch me fuck his code up

[u/BanaTibor → u/thether]

A true programmer!

[u/NKD_WA]

Jokes on you, the compiler has been cucking you for decades.

[u/Dramatic_Mastodon_93]

thanks from now on i’ll only call them cuckcoders 

[u/ravensholt]

OP has some weird fetish.
