Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

Most companies don't take hiring nor background checks seriously anymore. Judging by the amount of crooks and thieves we catch in cybersecurity stealing from the organization. And don't get me started on the number of impersonators they hire from overseas.Any recruiter see that video she can kiss her prospects goodbye......bytch recorded a HR call and posted it for clout...

Y'all give Corporations too much credit. Most are just as toxic and incompetent as the workforce. I remember years ago the Federal Government got caught rubber stamping millions of security clearances.

OpenAI *coding* progress:
1st reasoning model = 1,000,000th best coder in the world
o1 (Sept 2024) was ranked = 9800th
o3 (Jan 2025) was ranked = 175th
(today) internal model = 50th
superhuman coder by eoy 2025?

Extremely tightly scoped problems with a lot of research and algo combinations published and trained on.
Superhuman coder should be able to work on complex, high-context systems that have multiple moving parts and legacy code. They should fix versioning / deployment issues.

Hearing sama making such direct claims means they'll crush 2025, and by the end of the year, we'll enter a new world and have to accept a new reality.

@SulkaMike
A lot of interesting takes here, summarized around the question... Even if it's number one on the benchmark does that change much?
. And if does induce change, why doesn't 10 million people with a plus account and the 175th ranked prog have changed the world so far?

@OlivioSarikas
If it is that good, why does basically any coder I know tell me that AI is good at simple code, but as soon as it becomes more complex, writing the code yourself is faster than finding the AI errors in the code?

A single “best‐fit” exponential model through the three data points projects reaching Rank 1 around April-May 2025. The initial drop was extremely fast (Sept→Jan), while the more recent decline (Jan→Feb) was slower - so if you weigh later data more, you’d land closer to mid‐ or late Summer 2025.

What used to be the difficult part of my projects (code) is now the easy part.
So simple now and have learned more in the last year about coding than in past 20.
It’s like having a brilliant coder always there to ask ANY question, no matter how dumb or hard, no judgement.

Software engineering is solving problems not churning out syntax like LLMs do
For example the trillions of reasoning models needed for AIs growth will need software engineers to create/implement.

Most top researchers in OpenAI may not be senior software engineers on real world projects, which think programmer contest like a shyt. You need a poor guy from China or India to dig into 3000 files and each of them have 3000 or 5000 lines of code and variables to fix a bug

@keithofaptos
If OpenAI truly wants to be in the right side of History, it would be marvelous to receive this internal model (50th best global coder) ASAP and in voice2voice, completely open sourced. That's what us non coders are just itching to for. Imagine paying $20/m for this?! 🫠

This Twitter post I read today reminded me of this reply.
The full YouTube video in the link is very interesting about how roadmaps are basically too static now.
I'm so glad I didn't jump ship to any company in 2021-2022 because META and google was hiring like crazy here and I almost went through with google but the interview process for them is

Now, Moyer, 55, isn’t so sure her future remains in tech. Since being laid off from Indeed last year, Moyer has applied to more than 140 jobs but received no offers. She and her wife are considering selling their house near Portland, Oregon, and buying land to farm instead - worried whatever tech job she finds won’t cover her mortgage".
For years, people like Moyer flocked to Silicon Valley companies, lured by generous pay, benefits and the promise of tackling interesting problems at cutting-edge ventures. Companies showered employees with perks, from free meals and dry cleaning to niche wellness services. The seemingly unstoppable success of major internet platforms like Meta, Google and Amazon made it seem that the industry was immune from the cyclic cutbacks that plague other sectors.
Sean Johnson, an engineer for 15 years, says tech companies appear to be giving out more negative performance reviews and introducing stronger policies against remote work, which he sees as a covert way to cut jobs. As a remote worker based in North Carolina, Johnson thinks his job is more likely to be at risk - an insecurity that hasn’t prompted him to think about how to stay competitive in the market.

Nasa, JPL, LMA, NG, Boeing etc. they're all doing embedded stuff.
Not only are they doing a lot of stuff close to the metal, they (and everyone else) are constantly
looking for EEs who can not only code but build chips straight up.
VHDL, FPGA, etc. and other acronyms are all over the job posts I see.
And the comp approaches tech comp because these CPU/Chip designers are worth their weight in gold
and rare as fukk because most people don't want to go down this path. We got a fukk ton of software Engineers
but not guys who want to design the brains of satellites, missiles, etc.
I'm sticking on my DS/AeroE path but if I were to diverge and try something else, that's the second path I'd consider before
leaving my field altogether for tech.

Very easy. Higher comp, but also higher home prices, higher cost of living. Layoffs are damaging especially if you can't find a job quickly. Not making money but the mortgage, car note, etc still need to be paid.

Beware of companies (especially tech) going on hiring sprees. It usually ends in cuts because they overhire.
The fact that there are still people on there telling her to take that trip to NZ when she has a $2500 mortgage, and shutting down anyone telling her otherwise because it’s “scarcity mentality”
