What does his app do? 🤣

A person of refined taste right here. Very niche

Well, I don’t have a problem using AI. But I also don’t work for big tech companies with the kind of culture who push it on you. Also, I’m collecting an unemployment check after being laid off because the company can’t afford two developers anymore. So I dunno how lucky I am.

Your former boss is an idiot! Haha

Strong disagree. Getting your BSN is not 6 figures. It also far more stable than tech. There will always be sick people, the world is not getting healthier on average.

Going into software development in 2026 is a gamble. Being a nurse is not.

Well… good luck. I’ve been doing this for 25 years, and I’ll work for your salary. ;)

A lot of the major companies are trying to “embrace” AI. Anyone saying percentages is full of shit. And anyone claiming they got fired for refusing to use AI is also full of shit, they got fired for other reasons, which much have been screaming “I’ll never use AI you fucks!” Haha

Regarding the industry as a whole, AI is a big thing. You need to know how to use it correctly to (hopefully) produce quality code. This is a really rough time in the industry, for many reasons not at all related to AI. The economy is shit, globally. There is a lot of uncertainty, globally. Jobs are absolutely not secure. I’ve been laid off 3 times since 2020. And no, I wasn’t the only layoff. One company got rid of all their IT staff save for the IT director and one (overworked) support technician.

If you’re asking because you want to go into software as a career…………… don’t. Go into healthcare.

Meanwhile I go to IMDb and am not forced to create an account.

I bet they’ve made a few charts and diagrams on this topic.

Prices would just go up because no one wants destroy the ruling class.

The source is open for you to look at. Depending on the license, they allow you to do things with it. Sometimes they will show you the source but you’re not allowed to do anything with it besides maybe compiling it for yourself. Sometimes they don’t even give you full source code. Sometimes they let you do whatever as long as they get credit for their part.

Some licenses say that you can use their source code as long as you publish your own source code that used it. Linux Is like that. That is why Apple chose to go with BSD as opposed to Linux. They could remain closed source if they wanted to.

Personally, I release everything I do with “the unlicense” which is essentially public domain.

Capitalists.

Probably referring to the length they had to go through in order to get a connection.

Tell us about how you got here, since you can’t just get here without effort.
