mostly pessimism as I watch colleagues slowly get laid off for AI or off-shore dev work (i’m a software engineer). I suppose If they have to offshore anyways, might as well go all in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To be clear I, personally, don’t have any problem with H-1Bs i’m just pessimistic on what companies will take as an action item from this. Man, i’m just pessimistic about software engineering as a career in general lately.
I’ve been doing this for thirty years. I don’t see any reason to be pessimistic about software development. Right now I think we’re going through a rough patch. About to get tougher, I think, because we’re on the cusp of a big downturn in the economy, right on the heels of an industry downturn caused by Trump’s first term.
Long-term, though, there will continue to be a need for good software developers. And their best efforts will continue to be hobbled by unrealistic timelines and pressure to get things done over getting them done well, thus ensuring we will continue to need ever more developers to continue developing the same things over and over.
So you have no idea how it affects you, despite it being something that affects your career…
And instead of doing any type of basic research, you’re just making random guesses nd hoping for the best?
I’m shocked you have a job to worry about losing
Guy, it’s a Lemmy post, I am not running for office. People are allowed to have opinions without them being fully fledged thesis papers.
You said it’s something that concerns you…
In the time you’ve spent making random guesses and defending your own ignorance, you could have learned about it…
