Comment on Data centers are now hoarding SSDs as hard drive supplies dry up

Also in a few years when the AI generated nonsense code reaches a critical point and a ton of important systems grind to a halt, we’ll expect all of you that we fired to come back and un-fuck it for us so we can keep on making money. On temporary contracts and at reduced wages of course because times are tough.

But the crash is the moment where the people with actual tech knowledge will have leverage to say them: “pay me 10 times my standard rate or get bent”

  I hope so! But if the economy gets bad enough I can see people getting desperate enough that they’ll all scramble and under-cut each other into oblivion just to secure the work. Time will tell I guess.

Software engineers predicted this would happen. The percentage of developers that love fixing other people’s code is essentially zero, fixing ai code is even smaller.

If they require low wages, they’ll only get the worst of the worst. Expect this phase to repeat until they are forced to hire for competence and pay above market rate required to convince senior developers to deal with not just the ai mess but all the failed attempts to turn it around.
