#AI Big redundancies being made in the name of AI seems to be so clearly on the fact that these companies are over leveraged. The problem is that these companies are the driving force to smaller businesses who follow suit assuming the big players "know" what they're doing.

New software engineers need to just hang in there for a little bit as this will turn around. It's just painful to watch at the moment

companies announcing AI-driven layoffs often have AI tools that still can't pass internal QA. 'efficiency' here usually means 'headcount reduction we needed an excuse for'

@alicefrieren 100%. There is a place for using AI in software development. Once applications reach a certain size though I think the efficiencies start to dwindle.

Greenfield or internal only projects are great use cases. I couldn't imagine trying to code review multi thousand line PR's or trusting AI tools to review them
