Even 5 years ago "fizz buzz" was a real interview question that real companies used to hire real people.

The people that got in at this point will remain gainfully employed while you're left in lifelong debt and nothing to show for it except a useless degree that was supposed to be the golden ticket to a middle class lifestyle.

You made the mistake of being born 5 years too late. Now put the fries in the bag.

Why is like getting a software engineering job like taking a sat or something? It’s retarded and no other field is like this. There’s no doubt in my mind people are just cheating through their interviews now.

wdym? many jobs have accreditations and licenses to practice that you literally have to take a standardized test for

think: lawyer, doctor, nurse, pilot

Dumbass, he's talking about in the interview process. Mechanical Engineers are given a "Hard" FEA test for example jeetcode style.

Did my post the other day inspire you? The one where I asked if you remember that "invert a binary tree" was considered an unfairly difficult problem to solve in a technical interview? Then stupid jannies deleted the thread.

When the market for devs was favorable, everyone turned up their noses at the idea of unionizing. Now it's too late for anything like a software developer license

i did not read your post and inverting a binary tree is not hard retard

quite the opposite - ai made technical competence irrelevant. fizzbuzz chads will soon rule the world. virgin 10x devs better start applying to local mcdonalds.

Union are the only antidote against unchecked capitalism.

The day of reckoning is coming. When all these AI token subsidies start going away and companies have to pay their fair share, and once they have a workforce fully dependent on AI then the squeeze happens and companies will need to once again hire competent developers who can have agents complete tasks cheaply without wasting millions of tokens. In many ways the need for competency will be higher. Imagine if we lived in a world where you had to pay every time you hit the build button on your IDE/compiler. That's where we are headed.

Any fuck up and you lose a medical license forever. Years of practice speak for themselves.

>>108190393
Every union proposal I ever saw spent more time talking about pronouns than salary negotiation.

I can't imagine why they never took off.

You can get a rough estimate of inference cost from API pricing of OSS models - they are dirt cheap. If OpenAi and Anthropic moves to using custom hardware like google do - their inference cost will go down by 5x. In a few years people will be consuming terrabytes of tokens everyday.

>fast forward to 2024, I'm laid off. Get another job 2 months later for $140k, but it's an entirely indian shitshow of a company. I'm ready to leave after another month. Finally get laid off again after a year. At this point I hate my industry and all of the retardation in it.
>meanwhile all of my former coworkers at the original mom and pop shop are still chilling their with their comfy jobs. Product has barely changed in years they just sit there and click around.

Now I can't decide if I did the right thing. Obviously made more money overall but I lost my sinecure gig. I'm guessing I'd be making about $90k or so to do jack shit right now and that's fine by me.

>>108190559
Inference is such a tiny portion of total costs Training and capex are most of the costs. Companies need to eventually turn a profit, though Google can get away with burning money for awhile to undercut competitor pricing.

I was actually asked to do a fizz buzz on my very first job interview. It was in person as well, three dudes sitting at a table, and me on the other side. I had to use a whiteboard and marker. I felt like I couldn't write shit without my IDE. I failed like a dumbass, even though I had practiced fizzbuzz back home.
>>
>>108190232
You think that's bad? I was born in time and even got my degree before things went to shit and I STILL didn't get a job.

Yeah there's reasons I always caution people against using IDEs before they're comfortable with their language. Becoming dependent is one reason, and another is time spent learning your IDE is time not spent learning your language. The latter issue not only slows down your progress, it also increases the chance of quitting.
