What’s the point in doing open source when any amount of hard work and deep thought that you do is use as fuel for someone else’s half baked but “sufficient” slop, completely stripped of credit?

Why even participate in a system like that?

Every vibecoding developer says they review every line of their code 😜

I just had to do an interview with an actual AI agent. It was exactly as grotesque as it sounds. Is your company hiring senior devs or leadership roles for those who still know how to code and think for ourselves?

How a tax code time bomb fueled mass tech layoffs

I am super tired and frustrated, and I probably shouldn’t say this, but do you know any decent Product/Program Management roles where it’s not all about the senseless push toward AI, and maybe more focused on free/open-source software?
