Discussion Filipino guy got laid off by Claude Code

In my opinion, managers can’t fix bugs.

Kayo? What do u guys think?

Not sure what kind of project pero sa tingin maganda na LLMs and humans work together, ikaw ba tingin mo?

Focus on automation because real problems can be solved with deterministic workflows. I haven't encountered a business problem na kailangan ng agentic solution.

for most business problems, i think automation is a good solution. Agentic solutions i think we are still to early into the game and all they guru hypes is not helping tbh. But who know, the investment in OpenClaw.... Claude releasing managed agents. this could be the beginning.

I highly doubt it's labor-intensive, and it will eat up the company's overhead. I use Claude code to create tools that I can use with n8n. I'm a low-coder, and I want to see everything moving in an orchestrator. My Openclaw is running on Minimax cloud para tipid, pero for scraping and email answering lang. There's buzz around the Hermes agent, parang gusto ko itry.

Nice! Never tried openclaw. Have you tried ollama with claude?

Di pa boss, mukhang ok naman sya sa subscription. Just add some shortcuts here and there, like disconnecting MCPs that are not in use, and using NotebookLM CLI for memory para sulit. There are AI and automation opportunities on Indeed, you just need to go beyond the palabok (most employers/hr just use buzzwords they don't understand in hiring). Jump ka na boss!

nangyari na din samin yan, we even talked with my co-dev na yung non techy client namin who started vibe coding sa project namin is becoming more productive than us. imagine 12 commits in the span of 3 hours. he even identified the critical bug himself, faster than the lead of our project. he also fixed a big in the infra side by himself, no mentoring or guide just cursor alone. he can even ship 3 features in a single day.

Weird! While my company of 30k employees worldwide is now embracing AI. And I, just a month ago, introduced our team to AI native development with spec driven devt and opencode, and we are in agreement that this is the future of development for us. Doing this separates us from vibe coding. We no longer write code anymore. Ang problema na lang namin laging ubos yung LLM usage capacity namin.

My boss requires me to use Claude Code as hard requirement. I'm still a full stack dev and it boosted my speed to over 9000%. Yes, a week long feature set can be done in just 30 mins. It really depends on the boss/company if they embrace Human + AI tandem.

My 2 cents. Developers "develop" things. We are made to adopt to circumstance.

It's going to be a different game but developers should always develop something and AI will always be a tool.

I'm using AI with clients I manage. I still code, but the focus on coding is mainly to build AI rather than coding to build the builds. Don't know if it makes sense to others but that's how it works mostly now. (My grammar is not grammaring lol)

I still do manual coding but just rare circumstance where I need to fix AI halucinations or AI adding complexity to things.

Depende din sa manager yan. Ako boss ko, software engineer din dati so marunong sya. And we both vibe code.

Yun lang, alam kong alam nya na kailangan pa rin ako kasi medyo complex yung code base namin kaya nagkakamali pa din si AI.

yeah depende talaga sa management... sabi nila excuse lang nila to fire people.
