if you're money interested probably amazon -- they might fire you in a few months but it's a brand name and you'll be onto a new job in no time

Vs grad school is expensive and another 2 years of no income?

But idk my friend, amazon sucked a long time ago, it sucks even more now. sorry to be a troll

Do what you want to do

I feel like I was totally on board until the conclusion about one fast system and one stable one. It's not really possible in practice, once a customer starts paying for something, even a vibe coded app by a sales person, it's now a stable system.

The thing breaks, the salesperson says "can you check this out?" then disappears and we're back to where we started.

I don't even find this very new: many companies I've been at have tried to spin-off a "fast" team to sell stuff.

> It feels almost unethical to train you as computer scientists only to send you out into a world where entry-level computing jobs...

lol.

We millennials are in a position to start giving advice the way boomers used to do with us, now that school is looking more like a couple decades ago instead of just one.

But, unlike those boomers, we don't watch the nightly news: we snort it from a tiny screen all day long from sources hyper engineered to feed off our anxiety.

So we give all this super pessimistic advice.

"Back in my day, I got a job at google right after college and it was awesome! My code was elegant! You guys are FUCKED!"

I agree that AI is creating mega changes, many very bad, but that doesn't mean that it's a good idea or even true to tell GenZ people they're fucked. We don't know if they're fucked.

I think they could have a ton of fun with software and I think it's OK to be encouraging about that.

I read this yesterday and thought "only a matter of time for us". We use Wise twice a month and have for a couple of years.

Today I was surprised to find out that matter of time was 12 hours, as I logged in and see:

"We've temporarily blocked your Wise account. We're missing important information from you."

When I click the link, it says: "That address doesn't look right" and shows my business address. That is right.

There's no way to contact nor do anything other than change the address. I of course don't want to change the address, because it's my business address. Lol.

cancelled our company's slack plan when all this news dropped. We're looking at Mattermost, the reviews are really good

Having used many of the 'Toyota Corollas' to build web apps, do any others feel a little pang of frustration that, here in 2025, teams have the choice of using TypeScript on both the client and the server and choose not to?

"Use this other language I know for the backend, it's the [reliable car model]. It's the {Latin, Swahili, English} of the programming world. It's JVM, it's PHP, it's Python, it's Ruby, it's C#'"

I feel that after a decade of jumping between systems, TypeScript is now the "good enough" language. We have to use it on the client. Now we can use it on the server.

The weird side-projects vibes node libraries had in the 2010's have matured into fully supported production systems in the 2020s.

And I've never been happier. It's a fine choice for the backend, and it's not really optional on the frontend. Which is important: like a lingua franca, TS/JS is not optional in a web app. This is not an attribute which PHP shares.
