And, yes: it's the economy.

The last time new grads has such a hard time getting hired was ~2001-2008. It wasn't because of AI back then... but also the economy (and interest rates!)

They are very connected. Also wrote about it here newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/zirp

Totally! I was able to "vibe code" some tools for my employer, an internal app to visualize the product's current state they loved.

Always the same kind of people prophesying when somewhat will die

The upcoming death of software engineering has been greatly exaggerated by people who never built software themselves

Yep this. The bottleneck has never been typing speed; it's always been human understanding and intent. There's some benefit to making that intent translate faster in iteration loops, but software engineering as a discipline ain't going anywhere.
People outside tech starting to realize how quality software and typing/generating code fast are not correlated

Mi experiencia con el "vibe-coding" está siendo bastante enriquecedora y sobretodo clarifica una cosa, quien a día de hoy te siga tratando de vender que "la IA te va a quitar tu puesto de trabajo" te está mintiendo.

Lo hará quien sepa sacarle partido y para ello hay que 💫SABER PROGRAMAR💫

Cada vez estoy más convencido que el uso de la IA sin background, no vale nada, los gurús marketinianos del "no-code" tratando de vender humo como hicieron previamente los de los nft's y los de las crypto, todos metidos en ese saco, no es queja, es reflexión 🧐

Kodekloud tiene un entorno con laboratorios muy rico e interesante, recomendadísimo!

Looks very interesting!

Hoy he recibido la gran noticia de que, tanto mi jefe como el jefe de mi jefe, quieren promover este desarrollo para que sea una herramienta transversal de cara a toda la empresa, hoy hubo checkpoint y va viento en popa!

A esta fase inicial la he considerado ya la versión 1.0.0, ya que alcanzó los mínimos necesarios para poder realizar las tareas esenciales de la necesidad, en esta aplicación se aúnan los informes además de presentarlos de una manera más agradable de cara a perfiles de alto nivel, etc...

Okay, tested Replit, as I could review it in a deeplearning.ai course about Vibe Coding and I'm fascinated how well it works.

I recommended so far testing a bit it's potential, also do the DL course:
