    I’m sorry but if AI coding platforms have replaced you as a programmer then you were a bad programmer or were poorly educated and should just work at Chipotle.

      You’re so right. That’s why I graduated with a degree in computer science with a 3.58 GPA whilst carrying my teams on projects and worked my ass off to apply to many jobs and internships during my education as well as learning additional skills not being taught to me on the side…only to be met with nothing but rejection after rejection without so much as an internview. Guess I should just work at Walmart for $14/hr because I’m a talentless hack that will never amount to anything. $70,000 well spent!

        If you have a degree, you can work somewhere else besides Chipotle. It might not be in the field of your major, but it will be better paying than fast food.

      what a poorly educated and tone deaf response to a post that didn’t ask for or need your opinion.

      just because you have thoughts, doesn’t mean you’re free to share them.

      Pay no attention to the massive layoffs across the tech sector the last 2 years. Definitely the workers’ faults

        Exactly.

        Even college graduates need time to learn and build experience as they work up the ladder. A lot of theory and stuff someone might learn in college won’t necessarily be what they’ll find in the job world.

          The ladder that starts at Chipotle is not one that leads to work in the field you studied for. College graduates who are struggling to find jobs would relish the opportunity to work up the ladder in their field, but there are insufficient entry level jobs.

      Or they did compsci degrees like most schools offer not software engineering and didn’t actually learn how to code

      I am software engineer, and the coding LLM we have is absolutely capable of doing a bunch of tasks you’d give to a new grad.
