Are you guys allowed to use Cursor + latest LLM models to code?

Tech companies have loaded up on H1Bs to keep employees enslaved and threaten US citizens with constant layoffs.

Now Open AI and Anthropic will ensure these companies do not exist in future along with all the H1Bs.

H1Bs are running over each other to prove no one needs to be employed anymore as codex can do all the work.

Coding is no longer a speciality skill for which H1B visa need to be granted.

Revoke all H1B and Green card petitions immediately.

At first I thought the posts here about BTC were exaggerated or just people being salty. But after working with a few of their devs, I get it now. And I’ve been hearing the same thing from multiple other teams.

A lot of them just don’t seem to know how to code. Things that should take a week end up taking months. Constant blockers, missed messages, excuses, and everything needs tons of guidance. But they’re good at talking in meetings and making it sound like progress is happening...

I noticed they started using chatgpt. It would be great if that actually sped things up, but they don’t really understand the code they generated. It just helps them pretend they are working. It's really a scam.

crazy thing to me is that managers don’t want to acknowledge it. Is it even worth bringing it up?

Why are offshore folks so bad at using Git? Branch management and conflict resolution are always so awful on-shore folks in our team always put out fires caused by offshore folks.(lots of rebasing and cherry picks)

Were all the CA Optum
Coders let go in the last round of layoffs?
The manager and director in CA as well?

I've recently noticed several people who were Auditors/Education are now back to working as regular medical coders. Seems like a demotion to me, what happened?

Indeed, Zip Recruiter, LinkedIn, Monster! Keep applying the reality will hit soon. No transferable skills. No keeping current. Just gliding along. Thinking it would last forever. Enjoy those checks while they come in. The merger may be in 2027, but they arent going to merge the whole wagon and then start evaluating cuts. Skyworks is not paying out severance packages. Clear that noise from any future considerations. And if you live in one of those places with no semiconductor companies around, well I guess there is always coding like Joe said! Karma for every poor soul that got su-kered into working for the failed merger of RFMD and Triquint and lost their positions due to poor business management!

I am skeptical about the value of architects in modern development, especially when they operate in an ivory tower. The role often results in a pile of Confluence pages and diagrams that no one reads, adds unnecessary bureaucracy, and ultimately slows us down. Many are outdated and worse than scrum masters.To be valuable, an architect must be able to contribute directly to the codebase. If they can't code, their relevance in a fast-paced delivery environment is questionable.
The architect role has become parasitic, consuming resources and time without delivering tangible value to the development process

Altho i hv no stats, i expect we produce more slides on a daily basis than we do lines of code that actually build us any sort of IP.

And what's depressing is that most of the slideware is just rehash, update, and repackaging of the same old cr-p.

I'm one of the thousands of slide jockey here, so the irony of this post isn't lost on me but hey, tomorrow is another new week in which I'll do the same old sh-t as I've for the past many years.

Lmao ESRO is so incompetent
