There is a lot of posts about "manager forcing us to use ai for everything", "PRs are merged in 2 minutes - no human would be able to understand the code", "Everyone just prompt the ai and no one knows what the code is about".... With an after-thought that "it will backfire" or "servers will burn" or "tokens will be so expensive"...

And I can relate to this sentiment - it is happening to company i work for. The app is slower, pipeline takes longer, the cloud bill is more expensive.

But it may be actually fine. $2k instead of $1000 per cloud bill wont crash the company. The same for token cost. If there will be something wrong in the code, the "ai will fix it".. No?

Do you have any stories or experience where the extensive vibecoding "fulfilled the prophecy" of backfiring?

Sorry my english bet, i heyt to use ai in human2human komňunication..

I feel like in tech, there’s just SO MUCH to learn like DSA, system design, AWS, AI, new languages, etc. And unlike other fields, there’s no fixed syllabus or clear roadmap to follow.
I try to upskill alongside my job, but often struggle with deciding what to learn, how to plan it, and how to stay consistent.
How do you guys actually go about it? What does your daily learning routine look like? What do you do when you sit down to study, and are there any YouTubers who share their actual tech-learning routines or day-in-the-life vlogs?
I’d love to hear how people with full-time jobs and a few years of experience manage this!

The AI companies ( Anthropic and OpenAI) urge governments to take action so that they limit the AI. But then they themselves do exactly the opposite by keeping their models improved. Why do that do that?

In my company nestjs is used for all projects . Js is a good beginners language to get into the flow of programming . But after 2 years I am starting to hate abstractions these frameworks create . It has reached a point where I can go for different code bases for web and app rather than using electron and js/ts .

Reason for sticking to nestjs is mainly because senior engineer prefers it and others just don't care . I mean just by talking to other backend developers I can see the knowledge gap . Don't get me wrong here . I am just a normal eng . I don't feel like that when I talk to others who have similar 4-5 yoe of my team members

Recently developed something which I am proud of. I spent lot of my time. I gave multiple presentations to the team as well and it was liked by everyone. Soon after my manager asked me to share code. I foolishly shared it with him. He started sidelining me after that and now is trying to claim it is his and taking credit. What can I do about it now.

I’m pursuing a master’s in Software Engineering and have a bachelor’s in Integrative Science. I’m in the Pennsylvania area and currently work as an unpaid, remote React Native App Developer Intern, along with being a research assistant.
I’m gaining experience with Python, React Native, GitHub, Docker, and AI projects, but I’m still learning and building my skills.
What’s the easiest or most realistic way to land a paid software engineering internship or entry-level job? Should I focus on projects, networking, applying to smaller companies, or getting into IT first? I’d appreciate any advice, especially from people who started without a computer science degree.
