Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected from 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet

[MJ Truth]

He was making 150k a year and never put any money to the side in case he lost his income?? That’s on him.

 

[the bossman]

and he sounds like a total entitled CAC

That's most likely what it is. He was used to the environment where there were so many openings for software engineers he could write his own ticket. Now he actually has to work hard and go thru a real interview process so he starts bytching

 

[The Mad Titan]

-most likely he's a racist
-has no connections
-a terrible interviewer
-nobody likes him.
-no networking skills

This, or not willing to tKe a pay cut in relation to his skill set

 

[concise]

it's going to provide step by step details on how to get a better high, no occupation is safe.

So what?

There are countless cookbooks and youtube videos with step by step recipes for food and people still order uber eats and door dash. There will always be a need for production.

How so?

Reeks of band wagon jumping. his linkedin looks like this:

 

[yung Herbie Hancock]

Where I work ( big company, let some devs and others go recently, there is an order in place for no additional hiring for time being unless proven can't do job with AI )

Now I think the were going to freeze hiring for a bit anyhow so this makes it look like they are actively trying to use AI ( we are ) to a higher degree than before if that makes sense

They're doing a hiring freeze because they figure that they can get the same quality of worker at a cheaper price point with Indians. The goal is to use Indians until the AGI like tools are available to automate away workers.

He should call Benny the Butcher and have him introduce him to his plug, turn his trailer into a trap and door dash the packs

AI isn't there yet for coding so it must be a myriad of factors making this guy unemployable.

Making 150k/annually and not owning your own house is criminal.

fukk that cac

Good riddance

 

[ISO]

The portion of the state that gets called Upstate but isn't really Upstate...2-3 hours from the city. Moving closer to the city, let alone in it, will erase the cost-effectiveness of his salary.

Everything above Westchester is upstate my guy

 

[Doobie Doo]

He probably doesnt want to do the humiliation ritual that is the application process nowadays. Basically gotta dance and jig for a job in tech (they even require you to send a video of yourself nowadays)

Fam, one low level customer job I applied to ($20 an hour) asked me to send them a video of me on a pretend call with a client.

Me, whose been on live calls with the heads of Fortune 500 Clients for almost 15 years has to play Fisher Price for 1/4th my salary.

At this point, is it really still worth it Pursuing a career in tech? And if so, what??

shyt looking weird out here
