small rant incoming
I work for a company that it’s mostly hardware focused, but we do ship some software for the final consumer including drivers and programs, to make use of said hardware.
While I am not in the software department, I held some SWE positions in previous companies for over a decade, our software isn’t very complex and I do know most of it pretty well.
Our employee just announced a new AI-only development cycle, they want all code submissions and reviews to be exclusively done by claude, effectively ending ownership of the code being shipped to customers. This is absolute madness.
Today, I received an email scheduling a workshop on how to integrate claude into vscode and how to work with the new gitflow, namely removing our authorship from commits and having al code reviews done by a LLM now.
I am just baffled at the decision.
edit: wow I’m a bit overwhelmed by the response, I did read all of you. Thanks!
WTF?!? Where are you getting all of these interviews? I’ve been looking for a job for 19 months and had two interviews.
I’m in France. It’s the same apocalypse as in the USA, but companies and recruiters are eager to get the biggest number of resume in their database. 50 is only a random number and it makes no difference in what you experience. Most companies post job offers, but never hire anyone, I’ve seen it because those offers are reposted as “brand new” every other week, which means that they found no one and they try again.
I use LinkedIn, Welcome to the Jungle, Hello Work, and every other site where I can apply. I think I sent at least 2 resumes every day for 6 months, i.e. 360 resumes, and most interviews are only meant for the recruiter to read my resume, me to explain it, and that’s it. It seldom ends with a real interview in the final company. I forgot to mention that the recruiters are mostly working for “contracting companies” which is where you apply when you are desperate.
To sum it up, 50 or 10 interviews is the same thing, there is no job nowadays, it’s all lies. The serious jobs I found where from small unknown companies that do not advertise at all…
i think AI is being used to screen job applicant resumes in the usa, thats why i think theres been so many people who have the same problem.
