Snailcat Luddite thread. VibeGODS won
>claude, why isn't this import working>I can see the issue. >*removes the import*
>>108939205You look like that, ludder
>>108939146As terrible as that post is there is some truth there>do imperfect answers mean ... more tokensyou know it's just a matter of time until the AInshittification
>>108939205based claude getting lus fired
>>108939205>That fix worked, thank you Claudia <3>"My name is claude, not Claudia"i think she got angry at me
>>108939319>mispelling wife's nametsk tsk
>>108939146People like this managed to crawl their way up to F500 and become directors and shit
>>108939146Strange. Colleagues with similar complexion usually love AI.>>108939285The funny part is that its clear now - AI will not turn a profit. Yet the desperate C-suits are already locked in this path, because they have no other ideas.
>>108939345I'm guessing you will just pretend you never said this later on when proven wrong.
>>108939205>claude, why isn't this import working>I can see the issue>creates 25 helper .py files and adds 3 readmes, import still doesn't work
>>108939342>crawl their way upthat's probably the wrong verb
Is it possible to have a career as a SWE if I don't want to use AI? I use it as a search engine and for quick boilerplate obviously but I'm uncomfortable with handing off my program to a non deterministic agent and then passing the work off as my own. I just graduated, should I go into tech or just jump ship now?
>>108939667Claude doesn't "know" anything. It just summarizes everything on the internet. I talk to these things and they're terrible teachers. My fundamentals are so much more solid than most of my peers who vibe coded their way through school.
This general is boring. Don't you guys ever think about anything besides indians and AI?
>>108939716I've been applying for jobs and multiple asked me how I used AI so no not really
>>108939716Some of us do, but it is not relevant to a general with this title. The bad thing is that most other boards get almost no discussion. At least I am replying to you.>>108939731Jesus...Even the people pushing AI do not have a clear idea how it's supposed to be valuable, yet they keep pushing.Or if they have suggestions, you can quickly find that it's exaggerated marketing by the AI sellers, which is not worth the price.Psychosis.
>>108939782I started college in 2022, right when AI started, and didn't feel behind at all. I used 0 AI and got better grades on my projects than my peers, a lot of whom used AI. I just don't see the use case outside of boilerplate. And that's maybe a 10% boost in productivity if that.
Anyone have their CCNA?Working nights at a MSP for 6 months now with my A+, Net+, and an associates degree. Pays absolute shit $20/hr but glad I have a little free time to study. Figure I would get my CCNA while I'm here in the hopes of combining that with my "experience" to get the same job with a pay bump and then work from there.Took it last month after studying since February, I failed with like 68%. I have a retake and a good deal of cash saved if I need to take it a 3rd time but it has been slow studying, I feel genuinely retarded.
>>108939472Jump ship to where?
>>108939805Do you code a lot before college? What's your daily routine like during college? How do you manage between studying multiple classes and context switch between bazillion assignments? Do you make time for hobbies too? What about physical exercise?
>>108940142No clue, but if my job is just going to be prompting Claude instead of actually programming I'd rather simply not.
>>108940148Nah, I did a tiny bit of JavaScript and Python as a child (like miniscule) but I just chose CS because I had fun switching to Linux in high school.>Daily routineChanged all the time>how do you context switchJust happens naturally. Mostly I'd work on one class a day though desu.>hobbiesMusic, but it was tough because I commuted and didn't have much time at home as a result.>exerciseOn and off. Gym early in college, more cardio later
>>108940151Have you ever actually get take home tests and interviews from the jobs you applied to? Sent out at least 300 applications before you have another opinion again.
>>108940189I mean I have an interview lined up, it's just that I don't want to invest my time into this industry and skill if I'm just going to end up pumping out AI slop
>>108940192>hasn't worked a single day>already a ludditeYep it's over for you, better go into the lucrative trade of bricklaying
>>108940200If the AI is doing it then what's even my job? It's gonna push out mediocre code no matter what, no matter who's prompting it.
>>108940216This anon thought he was going to make high art
>>108940224I mean I actually like programming lol that's why I majored in CSI don't like talking to AI
>>108939351When, in two weeks?
>>108939345>MUH PROOOOOOOOFITTSSS!!dumb fucking luddite libtard
How many coworkers have you automated out of a job? I lost count in the hundreds and I’m only 5 years inI imagine many of them are now working in retail and doing uber as a side hustle. How many lives destroyed through layoffs, marriages ruined, careers ended……. I am a God…
Mistral is almost usable now, at least for my private project.
>>108939472>Is it possible to have a career as a SWE if I don't want to use AI?It's being adopted everywhere. Imagine being the guy who sticks to writing Assembly on a text editor when everyone else had already switched over to writing C on an IDE. Switch careers.
>threads are quickly devolving into one bot or loser trying his hardest to bait people and spam
>>108940270Tick-tock, clankie.https://isaiprofitable.com/
So if AI knowledge is so in demand and you gotta adapt using it all the time why cant i get a job for more than a year now if all my personal projects in my resume is written by AI, my cv is written by AI, i did all my take home tests with my AI, and practicing my interviews with AI
>>108940509Well, considering I did that and work as an AI Principal with a cushy 6-figure salary, I will say yes.
Maybe I shouldn't have trolled people on /b/ :(
>>108940667I'm not sure whether the correct answer is 0 or 1-5. The former will give HR Stacy the ick but the latter is a dangerous option to choose.
>>108940550

h1bs and o1s are having a melty over the latest DHS regulations on when/how they're allowed to renew their visamust have finally got them where it hurts
>>108940765No, it didn't. H1Bs are still chilling. Only uppity faangs are whining. The truth is, no gov will ever properly harm H1Bs; the consequences would destroy the economy.
>>108940741I deeply apologize, Mr. Clanker Principal.
>>108939146Fire her. We don't need more PowerPoints. We don't need more linked in posts.
>>108940780My company just fired the only one we had on our team, it was pretty sudden. Idk I think something's happening.
>>108940790>linked in
>>108940795Hello sexy.
>>108940795Sometimes boys like you just need to cum all over themselves and have some cute maid's mouth clean you up.
white people be like: i dont work. i dont actually work.
>>108940891Why do you bother posting this on here where 95% of posters are a shade of shitskin?
I graduated this month in Computer Science. Nothing special, I came from a southern state school with a 3.1 GPA, one relevant internship from a pretty unknown company, and a job on campus working for a professor.I applied to jobs but I felt pretty hopeless after hearing about how bad the market was from people on this general. I didn’t apply to any jobs that weren’t entry level and any that had a lot of applications.I finally got an offer from a company I honestly didn’t want to work for. It was consulting (I wanted to do data analytics), were pretty small, and had a bunch of Glassdoor reviews saying they fired people constantly and made people work a ton of overtime. However I accepted the offer since I had heard here that you basically have to accept any offer you get or risk being unemployed after graduation (luckily the offer was at will employment).Then one day while thinking about having to work for that company I randomly applied to like 10 jobs on handshake. I thought it was stupid to do so since everyone on here basically says getting an offer is almost impossible. One of those ten applications led to me getting a job as a data analyst for an awesome company working remote.
>>108940550what does that mean? you stand in the hallway and show off your balding head to the florescent lights while all the little AIs change classrooms and pass notes?
>>108941049>HandshakeDoes this shit actually work?
Spent $2000 of company money on Claude this month award

>Yes, a stable prescription is one of the most critical requirements for LASIK. Surgeons generally define "stable" as no change greater than \(\pm 0.50\) diopters in your glasses or contact lens prescription for at least 12 to 24 consecutive months.Well fuck me. My eyesight gets worse every month and get new stronger glasses every 1 - 2 years.
>>108941349isn't there like a 1% chance of it going wrong and then you're FUCKED for life?
>>108941349Honestly, I would wait 3 years, by then you can probably get AI eyes that see for you and tell you what they are seeing via headphones.
I fucking love Cursor. Got it for free last year with the student plan (right before graduating from my Masters) and it's about to run out.Should I buy the $200/month plan? I like it so much more than my company's Claude Code
i don't use ai and i got a decent swe job it's all relative
>>108941852The sensible view is that you should use AI some. It's not half as awesome as it is hyped up to be but it's useful for a [moderate] productivity boost.SWEs are ~25% faster with AI in 2026
>>108941796claude code is betterer thoughverbait
>>108941852My company just fired a dev because he was lying about using AI and just burning the tokens with loops to fool the system.
>>108941949I'm sure they're comparable but I am so much more comfortable with using Cursor (I started using Cursor in 2024 at my old job) and the TUI for Claude Code feels uncomfy>>108941955Goodhart's Law. I bet that it's a big part of why companies like Uber are having negative ROI on token spending. Employees are incentivized to use as many tokens as possible => they figure out ways to game the system and waste tokens as much as possible
>>108941132I just got an interview off it so yeah
>>108941132It’s great for internships. Ok-ish for new grad jobs
>>108942124What about for jobs for me?
>>108942126If you are above 0 YOE it kinda sucks
i have deliberately become jon arbuckle on purpose
>Stoner I knew in high school (who now claims to be COO of some AI SEO startup) makes another typo-ridden Instagram post advertising a funding round for an undefined project vaguely implied to be some sort of foreign real estate venture involving nightclubs, partying, and "wellness" >Actually he's pretty much Victor from Glamorama, except surprisingly a nice guy I often wonder how big his trust fund is.
>planning to move out of parents' house with savings to a place where I should have a better chance of getting a job againwish me luck bros
>>108942350Why not just apply for the jobs in that area now?
5yoe but i feel like a clown with a malfunctioning brain who shouldn't be allowed to be anywhere near responsibility yet they keep giving it to me
>>108942297I had a havard grad try to hire me for his startup, obviously only equity pay lol
If I ever get into a hiring position, I'll make sure to prefer our retarded, socially stunted zoomies.
>>108942350I found a job due to no competition in a shithole of a city. Half the city is beautiful while the other one once made me really depressed and feeling like I was stuck in a prison.
>>108941955>>108941980I ran across https://github.com/dtnewman/burn-baby-burn yesterday and thought it was hilarious. I'm not a programmer, I don't actually know what I'm looking at technologically, but the premise of it is a clownworld masterpiece.
>>108942610>oh no only half my city is beautiful and I have a job woe is me
>>108942297all of these types have an easy ride due to family money, zero exceptions
Do you all still play video games? I only play videogames for 3-30 days every 6 months. The only thing that entertains me now is just hentai comics.
>>1089427879 times out of 10 I'd rather practice my instruments
After trying out Claude Code it's even better than I had expected.It'll become very difficult to justify your position as a software developer when most things are solvable through a couple prompts
>>108942787yeah, I’m currently gachamaxxing every few days when I’m not busy doing something else
>>108942796The only thing that can possibly bail us out of this mess is if token costs pump to the stratosphere genuinelyThere have been encouraging developments on that front but it's not enough. Maybe if Taiwan falls and we have to reshore the entire supply chain for GPUs to the western world that'll both surge token costs and give me enough time to pay off my house and settle in for the long sleep
>>108943232>bail us out of this messWhat mess? We are winning, don't tell me you are a snailcat?
i wonder if there are any actual 10x's here
