any other trannies in swe here? i feel like we have a natural advantage when it comes to hiring for jobs, especially Rust lol. if u pass then you get dei points, if u dont pass then ppl think ur smart bc of the stereotype. trannies are actually immune to the cs hiring crisis
>>43637354I thought corps threw DEI in the trash with the resurrection of the Don.Also, are Rust jobs even a thing outside of Big Tech? I feel like I see C/C++ far more often at least at the entry level.
>>43637516there's plenty of rust jobs at tech specific companies(not just big tech) but not as much other companies who just need swe And dei was always exaggerated, it barely matters
>>43637354yeah I'm in SWE, C++/Python I like my career but I'm a chronic insomniac so I've been struggling recently, thankfully I've just mostly been doing customer integrations recently which aren't that hard, just stressful
>>43637354im in swe and getting scared of ai desu. boss is forcing us all to use it all the time with token leaderboards. it feels annoying when i spent my life obsessing over every little thing in cs just for john who's been in finance his whole life, moving to swe with vibecoding because it pays better. i wish swe wasnt this high paying, maybe wed keep it as a hobby at least.
>>43639040Yeah this scares me tooone of the ways that I've been using AI to my advantage instead of detriment is using to teach me things instead of just agentic development, i was writing same device drivers recently and I admit that having AI act as a pair programmer (in addition to a reference manual) made the experience go much smootherAnd really, I think that no matter how good AI gets, if a human is left in the loop, it'll be an expert, not John, finance
