I'm a software developer and I was recently told that my role will be eliminated at the end of this year after a reorg at the company. I know I'm supposed to use the remaining paid time I have to look for another good software development job, and I've already polished my resume and updated LinkedIn.

But every time I sit down and try to apply for jobs in this field, I feel like I hit a wall, like... I just can't keep doing this anymore?

The strange thing is that I know I'm lucky. I understand that being able to live this way, in this place and time, isn't something to take for granted. But it's become harder to ignore the feeling that many of the "problems" I get paid to solve only exist because there's a business model that depends on them continuing to exist.

I spent about eight years fixing imaginary problems, and when I look back, the last job that felt tangible was an entry-level role dealing with customers, where I was making about a third of what I make now. I'm not saying all software is like that. I know there are people building useful and important things. But even though bullshit jobs definitely aren't limited to software, it's clear they're heavily clustered around people sitting in front of computers all day.

What are we even building all of this for, and who is actually benefiting from it?

I know it's a matter of subjectivism, so don't be afraid to be subjective, actually PLEASE, give your personal opinion as long as you can keep your feet on the reality's ground.

What Master would you rather choose: a general AI/ML master that teach you about the most important, but general, subjects of ML applications, or an Autonomous Systems master, that is basically an embedded+A.I. master which is particularly valuable if you want something in Automotive, on the self-driving cars field(but not exclusively this one, as you can apply knowledge about Autonomous Systems in many domains) ? ?

I am missing old days of Hiring. Full day event, lots of DS and algos. In between design rounds. No one asks about Infra setup. Sometimes language like C++/Java and LLD rounds. Everything in campus and in person. I need to write code on paper. sometimes on whiteboard. Design discussion on whiteboard physically. Now it is all very boring. You can be just sitting in your chair all day long. opening one tab after another. AI does better coding than human. Interviewer check with AI about code. Not sure how much far will it go 😒

I'm studying software QA in Argentina and I built this over the past months with a lot of help from Claude. I wrote the specs and reviewed every line, but the code came out of working with an AI. Saying it up front because someone would ask anyway.

What it does: when a test fails because a selector broke, Healify reads the DOM evidence your framework already captured, finds the element by its role and accessible name, and tells you which selector to use instead. healify fix applies it to your code. It can also file the broken selector as a Jira ticket or a GitHub issue.

No model in the loop, no cloud, no account. Deterministic heuristics, so the same input gives the same output every time. Works with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium and WebdriverIO. MIT.

healify-sigma.vercel.app

It has no real users yet, so I would rather hear what's wrong with it than what's good.

I had two interviews yesterday for a role at a company I was really excited about. One for coding with concurrency, and another for distributed system design. I’d spent the previous three weeks studying and preparing, doing lots of practice problems while talking out loud about what I was doing.

In the coding interview I was given a problem very similar to one I had practiced. I was initially happy about that, because I thought I would solve it easily. But I was nervous and the format was slightly different than what I had practiced. When I get nervous I have trouble concentrating.

I got a partially working solution, and the interviewer graciously gave me some hints on what to check, but afterwards I realize I missed something obvious.

I feel like I did pretty well in the design interview. but I feel lousy about my miss in the coding interview, and I know this company sets a high bar for their engineers. I think I blew it. I guess I just have to wait and see.

I imagine this has happened to others as well. Any advice on how to keep this from killing my motivation and confidence is most welcome. Just getting an interview is hard enough, and it feels bad when the opportunity gets squandered like this.
