Everywhere you look, you can’t escape it.
The evolution of coding agents is tangible, extremely fast, and relentless.
Maybe the fact that I’m spending most of my time browsing the web looking for a new job is making me wallow in this murky echo chamber.
Productivity spikes everywhere… hundreds of thousands of lines of code written in a tenth, if not a hundredth, of the time compared to a few years ago.
Is it really true? Is it actually useful? Or is it all just slop code?
We’ll never know. Or at least not in the short term. In the coming years the line will be drawn, and we’ll see whether dev-oriented jobs will still exist or whether we’ll all become great writers, screenwriters of prompts and specifications for AI.
Over the past months, I was trying to spin up a few projects in different domains and tech stacks, just to have a minimal portfolio to show my next employer; side note: so far none of the recruiters or technical staff from the companies that contacted me and interviewed me has ever opened my GitHub, so I don’t know if it even makes sense.
Layoffs. Stagnant market. Junior positions gone. But insane investments in LLM wrappers and generic AI tools to the full automation.
So, next step. I’ll jump on the wave too. To test whether this magic is real!
On top of that, I’m starting to feel a strong sense of rejection toward all of this, but rationally it’s just due to my situation.
So a nice full immersion in vibe coding is exactly what I need to take part in the new digital revolution 😃.
Thinking about it, I’ve been writing a few too many whiny and melancholic posts.
Maybe this turn will be my breakthrough, and I’ll finally be able to write on LinkedIn too – AI Enthusiast – Vibe Coding Specialist 🥸.
