SignalFire’s 2025 State of Tect Talent Report reveals a sharp reset in tech hiring—entry-level roles are vanishing, elite AI labs like Anthropic are winning the retention war, and new power centers are reshaping where talent thrives.

      He said:

      Bullshit, I don't believe it

      What he meant to say:

      Please, don't be true.

        I believe that hiring is down but I have yet to see any evidence that it’s due to AI adoption. This is a narrative pushed by the media because they REALLY REALLY want it to be true. I consider interest rates to be a more likely culprit. The source you posted is an AI VC fund, they squeal with glee at the idea of people becoming economically displaced

          Yeah, tech firms that are trying to hype their AI products as the next big thing are trying to spin the narrative that they are suffering economically. As someone who was a junior sw dev in the past, I can tell you that AI written code is 100% not good enough to do that job. It might be utilized to do that work faster - but then any sensible business wouldn’t lay off their juniors, but instead would simply have them produce more output in order to sell more product and make more money.
