Ah yes, the old “well we won’t hire you anyway” argument, that’s a good one

Idk I’m a fan of companies doing really cool stuff even if they don’t sell it

Why?

Just go hide in your fucking house I guess, if everything to the right of Bernie is fascist

You definitely won’t have to spend that on a used Tesla, there are very few parts to replace
Re:Tesla Roadster on Friday October 16, 2026 @02:52PM (#50122742)
Just get a used Tesla 3
Great, more AI hysterics

You’re 22. You don’t have to be a developer, just do something else
Re:Suicide rates highest ever among middle-aged men on Thursday October 15, 2026 @02:23PM (#50107979)
Your last sentence is what actually happened to the job market that we don’t want to talk about for some reason
Re:Leaving Tech on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @09:29AM (#50087489)
I started in this industry after military service, and at 40 I’ll only have a few years experience. Why would that be too old?
Re:Leaving Tech on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @09:13AM (#50087245)
Maybe an industry that selects for “grinding leetcode” is inefficient and kind of dumb

At scale, choosing the right pandas method matters though for performance…
lol Ro Khanna? Come on
Doesn’t mean it wasn’t there
But it’s certainly enough to know that it’s not “conscious”
No, but it can drive me to work and park, come pick me up at the door after work, and drive me home

They were taking those jobs, but then the agencies decided they wanted a cut and found cheaper foreign workers, same as always
How many h1bs are they filing for?

Stop it you’re not allowed to talk about that
I’m shocked by the number of people here thinking you won’t be able to see the night sky because of 100k satellites. Is this site getting dumber?
Re:Reflections on software engineering in the age of AI on Sunday June 28, 2026 @02:23PM (#48709990)
I always think that stuff is funny because it clearly comes from a place of having only worked at faang-level-esque companies. I’ve only ever worked at messy mid-size software companies and have never once had a legit product manager guiding feature work, it’s generally been up to the developers to figure out what needs doing

There’s nothing remotely sensible about what Canada has done to allow Indian ethnic cartels to take over their job market
Re:Federal judge blocks H1B visa $100K fee on Monday June 08, 2026 @09:35PM (#48455050)
That’s not even remotely the case. We just don’t have enough people willing to move to rural Alaska.
Re:Federal judge blocks H1B visa $100K fee on Monday June 08, 2026 @09:34PM (#48455041)
So your argument is we have to give American jobs to foreigners here in America or they’ll take them overseas? Pardon me if I’m not convinced
Re:Federal judge blocks H1B visa $100K fee on Monday June 08, 2026 @09:33PM (#48455029)
If people that think like you had actually done something about it, then we wouldn’t be to this point. But at this point the only people taking action are trumps, and if that’s the only solution being offered, it will be taken. The conversation here is mild, get the room temp on this issue outside of lib tech circles and you’ll see
Is everyone just going to ignore that most of the jobs created in the post few years have gone to foreign born workers? Is it taboo, but some how the “Gen Z is dumb” is brought up multiple times in all its glorious stupidity
