Check developer threads on Reddit, Levels or HN, for example. Even many senior engineers with years of experience have found the market to be tough.
The tough job market isn't *just* because of AI.. For example, companies know they can get away with annual layoffs now. It's not a huge surprise that developers are on the chopping block along with everyone else. They're usually the most expensive people 🤷🏻♀️

I mean.. ok? What we were saying before still stands.. Especially when Salesforce has been laying people off for years. Their big thing at one point was NFTs. I don't think you understood what we were saying
Besides that.. I don't know why you're being so defensive on the behalf of big tech companies that do what they want regardless and don't need anyone defending them. Whatever their justification is, less tech jobs is.. not a good thing?
Now I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. I'm not defending big tech. That's how you're taking it. I'm looking at trends. I don't have emotional attachment to either side like you seem to.
The only thing I'm saying is that it's very obvious to anyone who understands tech that AI has already made a lot of engineers redundant (average to below average for now) and it's improving extremely quickly. That's really all I'm saying. Not defending anyone.
You are consistently wildly disrespectful and condescending. I don’t know why you choose to behave this way, but I would reflect on that.
Unlike most people on social media I actually go out of my way to state my opinions in the most neutral way possible without attacking anyone personally, even when I disagree, so the fact you think the opposite says more about how you choose to perceive what you read.
So it's you who needs to seek the help of a mental health professional after self reflection. I'm fine, thank you. If you still think you're right why don't you point to a single example of your claims. Or rather multiple ones since you claim I do what you said consistently.
i never said the job market wasn’t tough. i have incredibly qualified friends who have had to look for months upon months to find work. my point is that there’s a lot of existential doom around the job of the developer and i’m hesitant to buy into it at this current moment.
