    How does software engineering in IT looks as of May 2026?

    ✔️ AI AI AI

    ✔️ AI driven layoffs not 1 or 2 employees but it comes in thousands of layoffs at a time

    ✔️ package manager getting compromised is daily event

    ✔️ cloud provider blocks your account randomly using AI agents and AI support doesn't understand anything

    ✔️ github hacked and all code is available for sale

    ✔️ AI submitted low quality patches overwhelming FLOSS devs

    what else am i missing?

    @nixCraft I've been working my ass off outside for 1/3 the money and sometimes I hate it but mostly it feels great.

    Except for the excruciating pain it's great.

    Hard labor and spondy don't mix very well but so far I'm managing it. I'm 50 and I haven't put in like this since I was 24 so I'm only able to do half a day but I'm building up.

    Fuck it. Maybe letting AI write all that stupid shit is fine. Nobody actually wanted my expertise anyway. They just wanted a program they could hawk.
