Ask HN: Is anyone else just done with the industry?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-23 19:44:07

I'm a self taught dev that worked my butt off and endured years of "we promote internally" lies at multiple companies to finally get paid to write code. I've been job hunting since I was laid off last November, and I'm just over it. Everyone is unicorn hunting for X years in Y framework and if you don't have exactly that you need not apply. Meanwhile FAANG, Microsoft, and Intel keep handing out pink slips. I still love coding, I've spent most of my non "job applications and existential dread"

Salesforce CEO Claims Half of the Company’s Work Is Now Done by AI

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-08-24 21:30:46

While many companies that went all in on AI have since pulled back, Salesforce is going full steam ahead. In an interview with Bloomberg, CEO Marc Benioff claimed that as much as 30% to 50% of the company’s work is now completed by AI—though no word on how much of his role personally has been made redunant or how much of his $39.6 million in compensation that he’ll be giving up. “All of us have to get our head around this idea that AI could do things that before, we were doing, and we can move

AI usage is stalling out at work from lack of education and support

zdnet.com Tiernan Ray 2025-08-25 01:02:27

Deagreez / Getty Images A new survey of enterprise use of artificial intelligence released Thursday by the Boston Consulting Group shows the technology has stalled in its deployment, and the most-hyped new area, "agents," has seen low adoption within companies so far. The obstacles to greater AI usage are primarily a lack of training, limited access to tools, and insufficient encouragement from management, the group states. These obstacles are raising concerns about job loss and lack of oversi

If you’re one of millions of job seekers struggling to find stable employment, just know it’s probably not you. With the onslaught of so-called "generative AI" — Silicon Valley’s term for complex prediction algorithms that can be used to create new content based on vast amounts of material that they gathered without the permission of its creators — the job search has become a veritable gauntlet of fake job listings, automated application bots, and computer-generated interviews.

A Deep Dive into Solid Queue for Ruby on Rails

news.ycombinator.com Hans-Jörg Schnedlitz 2025-08-27 13:31:09

Our previous article in this series established that Solid Queue is an excellent choice if you need a system for processing background jobs. It minimizes external dependencies — no need for Redis! — by storing all jobs in your database. Despite that, it is incredibly performant. But just being performant is not enough for a production-ready background job system. Rails developers have come to expect a lot over the years. We don't just want to enqueue jobs to run in the background. We want to sc

Risk Expert Says "Learn to Code" Is Now Worse Advice Than "Get a Face Tattoo"

During a recent exchange on "Real Time with Bill Maher," risk analyst Ian Bremmer argued that artificial intelligence has basically eviscerated the "learn to code" cottage industry. When discussing the way AI has swept the world and taken many white collar jobs with it, Bremmer referenced how rapidly the technology has overtaken the traditional career trajectory for programmers — so much so that people who used to have cushy software developer jobs are now selling their plasma to make ends meet

You hear two wildly diverging narratives about AI lately. One, emanating mainly from the tech sector, is that AI is not only poised to supersede human intelligence, but is already radically changing the world and workforce. The other is that the tech's mostly a nothingburger, with the boosters from the first narrative forcing its slop into everyone's life, while cutting-edge AI systems remain flawed and unlikely to improve enough to be really useful for much, other than filling the web with spa
