Every day there’s more big job cuts at tech and games companies. I’ve not seen anything explaining why they all seam to be at once like this. Is it coincidence or is there something driving all the job cuts?

Get better at the prompts you use. My entire team uses it daily, and it has made us probably 600% more effective. Learning to prompt AI is a valuable skill right now.
What’s your metric that you improved 600%?
He’s pulling it out of his ass. They might use github’s code completion tools, but that’s the closest thing to “ai coding” now. AI is notoriously stupid for continuity in its tasks. It’s basically just parroting other things it’s seen; it doesn’t know if it fits together or not half of the time because “AI” doesn’t understand.
Oh, I know how to prompt AI. Getting it to spit out workable code doesn’t mean you don’t have to review the code, or make sure it’s integrated correctly.
You also have to make sure it’s not generating blatantly braindead code, which makes the review and debugging cycle take longer.
I remain unconvinced that it’s suitable for domains where there is a right and wrong answer, like engineering or law.
I’ve found more value in the systems that do a good job understanding the problem description and then returning references to documentation and prior art on techniques, as opposed to the actual code.
I don’t need a virtual junior dev I need to hand hold, I actually have those and mine get better. I want a virtual “person who worked on something like this once and knows the links to the good articles”.
Imagine training what’s going to replace you lol
It’s going to happen regardless of what you personally do. You might as well get some benefit from it while you can.
Nah, I have standards
You have standards, but the companies firing all these people don’t.
