I broke my rule not to bother with a take home and I regret it. Spent about 6 hours on it and the company decided to give me no feedback but a standard rejection email. As usual, t…

I currently manage a ML team in a startup. Been doing it for about 2 years now. Due to a number of changes including required relocation, I can't and won't stay. Let's say I get an…

Is it inability to get interviews? Inability to pass them? Is it after a certain time? If it's happened to you already what was the threshold?

I don't get it. Why can't we move past this world - where Job Descriptions aren't REALLY what the hiring manager wants - where Resumes don't REALLY represent your skills - where we…

I'm asking this from two angles: - What areas are current models and current approaches not sufficient? - Is there any chance that the job market for these areas will exist if one …

Do you see a point in sticking it out in the tech industry? If so, what is your role/career trajectory?

I'm a ML Engineer and currently a ML Manager at a startup, but don't really get the opportunity to do a lot of work on a high-scale recommender system or search system. I want to r…

Are you on meds?

This isn't a particularly accurate framing. I think your question is more why haven't "Humanoid" consumer robots taken off. Because humanoids aren't a great form factor for robotic…

Question as title. We are in 2025. Has every software opportunity for a business been addressed? Basically, which industries that would benefit from software and automation, are ye…

This isnt true. Cloud definitely completely changed the market for sysadmin and network engineers. Some folks managed to retrain but many were left out post dotcom bubble.

Honestly this is my plan. I'm waiting for my time in this career to run out. In the mean time I'm trying to aggressively save whatever way I can. This industry is going to shrink. …

What?

Is there a negative impact to a career if you join a PE owned b2b Saas? I've heard recruiters don't bother with you as you'll be seen as a low skilled

Sounds like a pretty unsustainable career to me

I'm not sure I agree. LLMs are great coders, because we have a lot of training data to make next token prediction work well for writing software programs. A mistake to make here is…

What are you considering right now as a plan b?

Honestly, even in practice the number of 'senior' people are laughably high. Tbh, swe leans junior.

Ya, I've been a fan of a license due to how bad interviewing is. Why do I need to keep proving my competence over and over?

Appreciate the response and opinions!

LLMs and Agents are not automating SWE, but they are changing it. Interviews have become nightmares, even at 'non-tech' companies, making switching very time consuming and difficul…

How does one go from a career spent in financial software, data science, ML and web dev towards game dev or some other industry that might benefit from software skills?

I'm bored of IT. Software is boring, AI included. None of this feels like progress. We've automated away white collar work...but we also acknowledge most white collar work is busy …
