A budget build is going to run you $4k+ for something like qwen3-coder:30b, and you’ll probably be annoyed at the speed of you’re used to Codex or Claude.


What does his app do? 🤣


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.


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


Yeah I’m okay with that.


I just loaded a bunch of recaptcha on my GrapheneOS phone. So, I dunno what this is all about.


Interesting. Definitely turning that off. (As if it actually turns off)


Can we trust that isn’t a campaign to promote Google? What are these websites? Why aren’t they blocking an iPhone? Can any of that be replicated or is this just a Google campaign to create fear and doubt


Wildly inaccurate for me.
Yes, but when you compare it to codex and Claude though, it’s significantly slower. Especially over time. Better crank that AC.
I think in a few years we will have current cloud levels running pretty efficiently on current computers.
