I hope you guys understand that by using LLMs you are also training them. I assume most of you do know this, but I might be wrong...

>>109991505
I know but they're getting trained no matter what. At most we can slow it by a little bit, but then you're gonna be getting behind or worse, be going against company policies demanding AI use

>>109991505
An AI job takeover isn't necessarily a bad thing, it just needs to come with UBI. One of the biggest reasons businesses get tax write-offs for investing in themselves is because they're supposed to create jobs - AI obviously bypasses that, so these businesses should pay a UBI tax the more they automate jobs away

>>109991539
You'd have to elect commies for that. We're in the middle of a right wing wave all over the world. You're just gonna be told that you need to work harder, you're not trying hard enough, and should just pull yourself by your bootstraps. Or be told to open your own company.

I wonder what the AI bubble popping will look like long term. I can see 2 outcomes. In one, only one or two companies survive. In which case Apple, MS, Google, etc all have to pay that one company to use AI like everyone uses youtube for video. Nothing else is profitable. In another, none of the AI companies survive. Models are commodities, you rent AWS or some other cloud to run whatever model you want and there are tons of free Chinese models, there's no money on AI itself anymore but on custom chips, remote clouds and maybe services built on top of AI which are all interchangeable since they're easy to copy. But I'm not that creative and my predictions are usually wrong so I dunno, and I have no idea what either outcome would mean for the price of coding

The price war has been crazy. Opus 5.5 was a ~20% price cut from Opus 5 and allegedly Gemini 4 is going to be dirt cheap.

Option 1 seems most likely. The open source models are getting really good and efficient. Main plus the corpos have is convenience, but if they up the price suddenly doing that bit of work to self host will look more enticing. If those big data centers come online the crash will be nuts.

Never worked FOR an Indian but when there is just one or two they've been fine. I've never been drowned out though.
Current job is ran by Arabs. They have hired tons of illegals that have come and gone the last 2 years. They have slowly replaced all management positions they can with Arabs. Would bother me more but I'm a special goy who is effectively the smart cattle to them, so I get away with a lot and get paid more than the rest of the floor.

Open question to everyone, I never visit this thread but I'm curious, how much do you slack-off at work?

For context, I got my job 1.5 years ago, first real tech job I have had (software / server engineer) since graduating.
Since my team leaders are tech illiterate in comparison to me, I have found it very simple to do the bare minimum amount of work every week.
I am also able make it seem like I am constantly doing shit whenever anyone from my management asks me "what's going on?" or "how are things going?", but to be honest, on a regular 8-hour work day, I probably only work for 1.5-2 hours at most, I also take full advantage of being able to work from home for 2 days without question, but since my company is so big, I exploit how no one can be bothered to keep track so I usually work from home 3-4 days a week.

At times part of me feels like I am robbing my employer, but at the same time, everything I take care of works as it should, so at the same time, I guess I'm doing my job "ok"? And my company is one of the biggest in my nation, so it's not like they are struggling financially.

Yeah I've had a friend of mine say something similar to the whole "not getting better", but I can say that I am improving.
I started out doing dev work for scripts running on servers (automation), which I didn't mind, it was almost pure .sh which I like, and then they gave me responsibility of some company servers, so now I just configure and maintain shit like Jira (and other Atlassian products) from the backend, god, it is so fucking simple so far.
What I'm trying to say is that I have found my current niche and in 2-3 years when I decide to go looking for a different job, I'll just look for things that align with what I do, but we'll see how shit the job market is then.

Every fucking day I get a call where they say their build failed and they don't look at any fucking logs that will say 99% of the time "failed because of [incredibly specific thing today is easy to identify and fix]" and just tell me "build failed please help"
And even when it doesn't say right out the error no one reads stack traces or uses debugging tools or all the integrated fucking tools for our services that can tell you the payload and the line where the error occurred

Is your plumber robbing you when you pay him, I don't know, 500 EUR for a 1 hour job? Or is he simply that skilled that he can charge that kind of money and because of that skill he can do it far more efficiently and faster?

Long story short - no, you're not robbing your employer as long as you do what needs to be done. And the fact that you're asking this shows you have good moral as well. I'd say you're doing great.

I personally fired a dev for doing this.
an entry-levels usually gets, at most, a 2 year runway to come fully online. I guess he didn't realize that he was underperforming and just assumed it was the best he could do. some people have a 2-hour attention span, it never improved, I fired him.

>>109994453
>>109997069
I should have added that underperforming devs get filtered at
2-years
5-years
7-years

>>109997069
Kek. Bad boomer larp. I bet I make 10x more than your company pays lmao.

>>109997069
I can't blame you for thinking that I have fucked up, on the surface it looks like it.
I kind of didn't state what my current philosophy is, I do not go out of my way to acquire more responsibilities and work, but when I am asked by my boss, I always accept, this has kept management and my boss very satisfied with me.

I am taking on more responsibility for every month that passes, and so far I have been able to keep company services running (the one who handled this shit before me left the company and we had a big restructuring so others who could have maintained have been moved to new departments and they're not allowed anymore, which is a stupid decision from management).

I even said yes to working overtime for when we have to update things outside of regular office hours, my boss was super satisfied and happy that I was able to do it, apparently if I said no they'd have to get some other guys from before, he even said that I saved him a ton of headaches and meetings by just saying "yes".

So my bosses are very satisfied with me, management sees that I handle everything I am given so far, I have never missed a deadline without it being something that was completely outside of my control, my boss even said so. So I am not underperforming at work, at least not compared to what is expected of me.

I think my entire point with my original post is that I feel weird at how I am able to juggle all of this with no issue and still seemingly have so much spare time that I can kind-of dick around a good chunk of my time, granted I have had weeks where I genuinely work my ass off, but the more chill weeks are the norm, not the anomaly.

How many years of experience do you need and how old do you have to look before people start actually listening to you?

How worried should I be that the QA department is vibecoding a system?

>>109997153
I'm not a boomer. I just got tired of holding-back on the full set of requirements that I really needed implemented, and stabilized, to take the pressure off of my production bug-fix team, and he wasn't makeing it happen. I fired his ass, and had my Staff Engineer just refactor and replace the entire system in 3 mos. the entry-level dummy didn't understand that I was giving him a stepping stone by letting him takeover an annoying system with the hopes that he would be able to refactor and replace it at the 2 year mark. he failed to establish the confidence I needed in him to allow that. when I fired him I told him, well, thank you for giving it your best... there was the super long pause where I could hear the gears in his head turning whether he should confess that he'd only been working 2 hours a day. he didn't confess. GG.

>>109997219
You have zero experience in the real world and it shows. Your boss is probably not the best leader and doesn't want to be mean, so he praises you hoping that will get you to seek more praise, but it clearly doesn't. He isn't happy you were willing to do overtime, he was happy the slacker wasn't a slacker this one time. He's still holding out that you'll mature and work more

>>109996917

this actually sounds alot better. what you want to look out for is what I call the "skill-trap". it is when a company lulls you into complacency so that you are just good enough to meet their needs, but they plan to never give you a raise and they know that you are just inferior enough to never find a better paying job.
there's nothing wrong with avoiding toil, what I wonder is if you are missing out on larger, more complex projects, due to your perceived struggling with easy shit.

I have to come back with what I mentioned that I have always accepted more work when it is given to me.
I'm even the main guy to go to for certain tasks in my team, which can usually be doing simple support requests like granting access, configuring something, etc. coupled with making sure the company servers running certain software are properly maintained, since there's already a proper monitoring system setup by the guy who did this before me (and some tweaks that I have made along the way, like automating a lot of cleanup work that used to be done manually by people) I am guaranteeing that shit works.
I don't know if I am being delusional, so please correct me, but I am not doing a good job by this definition?

It boggles the mind to watch a country that built so much of the infrastructure, applications, and protocols we use daily sell their own industry out from under itself, first with offshoring, and then when people finally complained enough, through nationwide carve outs for what in every other industry is considered illegal immigrant labor. I look forward to seeing how the non-polemic authors write about this time period.

Trying to show the coworkers that have worked here a long time how any new framework works is torture. They refuse to absorb knowledge or learn on their own after you walk them through it. If it's not J2EE slop they panic. Then you become the "new technology guy" and every question goes to you from everyone on the team and you have to justify why shit like squash merges are good for commit history and why rebasing is important every goddamn day to people who break down crying when there's a merge conflict

I know Rome is a tired cliche but it really is one of the best historical parallels to the modern US. They had their own slavemaxxing era where the rent seekers wanted to cut costs everywhere and disenfranchised their own countrymen and hollowed out the cohesive strength of the empire.

The important thing is to let corporations die. Let them die, and promote new business as much as possible so that better things can spring up in their place. There is a reason why zombie industries like healthcare/insurance/banking have some of the most ridiculous offshoring, they are too big to fail and can get away with making the product absolute dogshit.

>>109997697
I am not talking about immigration, retard. Immigration is just a form of outsourcing, the locals (citizens) ask too much, so you either ship the production to another country or get in the slave labour to do the same inside of the country. The end result is the same for the workers. Should the people that used to work in the US clothing industry (yes, it used to be a thing in 1980 and before) feel good because their industry "just" got outsourced without importation of cheap labour?

>>109997722

Hyperurbanization has made civil wars kind of passe. Now it's just coups it seems like. Take over the urban heart of power and you get the country.

In the US I'm guessing our dictator would take power quietly kind of like Putin, one day we would just stop having real elections.

I hear what you are saying about the skill trap, thanks for the advice. I do sometimes spend some of my time dicking around learning things I think will be useful for me in the future, like k8s for example.

And to clarify, I do not project a perceived struggle with what I deal with, I haven't mentioned everything I do at my work obviously.
I can just say that I have had two big projects where I essentially had to, theorise, draw up, and then build up solutions that nobody had done before in the company because it involved a lot of restrictions that haven't been present in anything before, and I was left pretty much entirely alone to solve it, the first one was such a success that the main customer (another department in the company) for the job was ecstatic that we made it work for them, and they gave me lots of praise (they had requested this 1.5 years before I even joined the company, and nobody wanted to do it), this made my boss give me the second big project that was essentially very similar, and since I already had a proven method from the previous one, it was minor work in comparison, and again, customer was extremely satisfied.

On top of that, most responsibilities that I been assigned to, I have been told my some veterans at the company (who've been there for 10-15+ years) that most people at my company are usually doing that I'm doing when they are on their 3rd or 4th year in the company, so me being able to handle all of this while being there for less than 2 years is impressive in their eyes, and I know that my boss listens to these veterans for their opinions.

Yeah QA is performative busy work to the max
Instead of just testing software and going "yeah tests passed mate" its made even more tedious by having to screenshot 'evidence' to paste in some tracking system, then also update jira, then at the end of it they use some shitty spreadsheet to shart out a report they only use to make another report
I've looked at some of their test plans and its like you've said. They have everything separated as individual test cases instead of having them just as steps

>Are the execs gonna see that they have 5x the prs of the engineer team and then fire all the engineers actually making shit? Maybe, they do retarded shit like that all the time

Congress doesn't matter and the margins are going to be tight either way, it's 2028 that matters and will decide if we are keeping course or reversing back

>>109998130

As proof consider that the prior Congress (with a Republican majority) stood there with a straight face and said we needed a bipartisan spending bill to "secure the border" and "lower from 4 million to 2 million" (for an extra $1 trillion of your money) and then Trump took office and just made it all stop immediately because that's all it was necessary. It's a cove of rats and traitors. The only salvation is through the executive and SC.

He did all that simultaneously. One can successfully stop immigration while also unsuccessfully attempting to spark a civil uprising in a hostile nation state.

Trump attacked right after 30k Iranian civilians died. He screwed up the timing then did a pussy move and still failed.

Regardless of your double digit IQ take on welfare state, the fact is that concentration of state in a pair of hands doesn't make a state any smaller. Trump did not make the state smaller in his first term and he ain't doing nothing to change that during his 2nd, accoding to your own imbecilic logic Stalin was fine and small government because all power was wielded by one man

There is nothing progressive about it, as I said earlier ITT, Congress is dead and only exists to rubber stamp the annual pork bill. It's so satirical that Presidents don't even ask for other bills anymore they just write their policy desires into a budget or budget reconciliation. They are whores.

no. lol

Here's a fun story. I just bought a house a few months ago in a nice suburb. There are various groups of immigrants about here and most act well and take care of their property. Well there is/was one house jam packed with Africans who were clearly not fully legal destroying their new property, yard, chimping and screaming about, and ringing my bell every day. It got to the point that I went ahead and sent an ICE tip on them. Something happened in the past month and it has gone quiet. There are only 2 cars and no kids.

Now THAT is action that affects me you fucking queer

Westoids love talking about ebil Stasi or KGB and everybody spying on each other under communis, then just go out of the closet and confess online about snitching to authorities on their neighbours without shame. Funny how double think works

>>109998524

That isn't my neighbor. That's an invader and foreigner that was put here by a hostile regime to work against my interests and the interests of my children. You will never psy op me into thinking that a literal alien pooping and sharting in their yard and hassling the entire neighborhood is "my neighbor", that is a villager from Angola and he's going back.

If you asked any of the KGB snitches, you would hear the same yapping and justification about somebody being the enemy of the people. I am not aware of a single time an actual snitch in the USSR was sorry about what he did

Which is funny, because I remember an awkward conversation with my dad about how bad a crime had to be before you went to the police. Granted, he was a part time bootlegger in the last remaining dry counties in our state, but still, it's a fine line to learn to walk.

is working 2 hours a day as a Jr. on your first job out of college a hint of laziness? I love how I got blasted out the gate for insisting that it is good to work about 5 hours a day.

Bruce Lee did 1000 kicks and 1000 punches per day, just for maintenance or a warmup. Why do you think he did that?

I really tire of people who think they are so fucking smart, and such fucking geniuses, that it entitles them to not put in much effort. Then they bitch about why did Bob get promoted, he gets confused so easily... Wah, I'm so smart, why is nobody giving me greenfield assignments. It's because you lack grit bro.

Even at genius level, effort makes up the difference between Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla. One E=MC^2 the other invented the modern world.
