Its Finally Over For Devs (again, fr fr ong)

ITS FINALLY OVER. ENGINEERS DONT HAVE ANY VALUE. KNOWLEDGE IS FREE. WISDOM IS MADE UP

Here we go again. Get ready to be an electrician, boys!

You're right about websites having these random, small but annoying, bugs now. Even with YouTube, sometimes the comment section just doesn't work the first time you load a page (like, it's there but you can't comment or like posts). Or another bug where you go to a new video but it has the comments from the last video.

The most valuable skill is being able to slowly write "enshitification" with your mouse while you speak coherently

"I swear to god this time it's done trust me" ahh video

The enshittification thing is real. It seems like I’m getting constant weird bugs on every other app or site I use, even on YouTube I’ve been getting weird UI bugs

finally, finally, fr, fr, fr, again, for the LAST time we are becoming obsolete

instructions unclear, i`m an orchestra conductor now

It looks exactly like the situation with devops. Do everything that smells like cloud. AI gets errors low mid and high and at the concept level. Now instead of patching code, or writing low level as a quant, or designing the system as a Senior, or diagnosing security issues as a Securitization expert/ ethical hacker. You have to do all of it in your brand new AIOps position. Im calling it right now. Senior AIOps Engineer. Putting it in my resume

The offshoring one is particularly funny. I remember talking to a buddy who worked at some big multinational. He had his team based in the UK, and a counterpart team in India. Indian team was cheaper to hire out, so clients would ask for them to keep costs low. The project would inevitably turn to shit due to all the realities mentioned in that post, and then my buddy's western team would be brought in to clean it all up. He told me that being "replaced" by a bunch of cheaper offshore devs was the best job security he's ever had.
