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?
Does it count to teach them ai? I’ve had this guy in India, working for me on and off for a couple years now. He’s really bright and was coming along nicely … then ai hit
His first like 6 months of ai use were horrible. Absolute junk that harmed the code more than made progress. My code reviews were brutal.
But he figured it out. He’s a heavy ai coder but it works. My code reviews rarely find issues anymore. It’s too early to know about maintainability, but his code looks good to me
No, we’re not allowed to use AI for any design documents or code
Give it a while though and I’m sure that’ll change
People are begging for LLM use in analysis, design, build, and test
