Im a tech guy. In the last week, I have received 4 cold calls about new positions and a couple more emails. This month ive seen more anecdotal hiring going on in my friend group. Is there something going on? I’m not looking, haven’t updated my linkedin in years etc…etc…
For the past year, hiring in software development has been dismal and all of a sudden im seeing a huge spike.
Anyone else seeing this or am I just cherry picking?
So this is key here and it might still be up in the air. I’m generally skeptical and up until July rarely considered ai worthwhile. Even when it had good ideas, it could never deliver.
Then in July everything changed. I’m “vibe coding” despite myself, and so far it’s working. The difference is greenfield, common programming languages, common problems, much less code complexity. The long run is where we’ll see if we shoot ourselves, but there’s clearly characteristics where AI has more of a chance to succeed.
Sounds good let me know how it goes. Its been 2 years for us and while the initial projects were somewhat vibe coded. Theres just more software doing things so ironically it means much more work for us.
