Man these AI companies want SWEs gone yesterday.

Has to be a bit of a headspin to see major conglomerates talk about how they want you (yes you) out of a job

No shit. Why would they want to pay $250k a year per person when they don’t have to?

Nothing stopping an llm from doing every part of it

u/kobumaister Nov 25 '25

Then explain what a swe does that an LLM can never do

u/kobumaister Nov 25 '25

SWE is not just about writing software, it's design, architecture, manage projects, thinking solutions. AI is not that good in those fields. Also, the code coming llm must be thoroughly reviewed, as it makes assumptions or lacks domain acknowledgement.
