AI obsolescence is “coming for basically everyone in due time,” says one engineer who went from earning $150k to being locked out of the workforce for over a year.
Let me guess - Silicon Valley-like company? Focused on new fads, long or short, eager to adopt any new trend for themselves?
Yes
The only part “AI” plays in this is giving employers the sensation that they can replace workers. Which companies that are building on trends, especially silicon valley ones, are much more likely to fall for.
And I’m very sure that the “800” applications were sent to very similar companies.
In my last job search, I sent out more than a thousand applications across multiple industries, got one interview, didn’t get the job. It’s very plausible.
Getting ghosted like fuck was the norm before this nonsense started… he just didnt notice because he wasnt looking… Just look at his linkedin and tell me you’d hire someone who’s position is ‘vibecoder’

Sounds like he should jump over to adult entertainment.
I sent out ~20 applications, got four interviews, got two jobs
What platform were you searching on?
Multiple ones, and directly through people I know.
Yeah, I’ve just gotten to the point of trying to network instead of applying for things that don’t exist.
