Ask HN: What do you believe or not believe about AI? 2 by maniac_2000 | 2 comments on Hacker News. There is quite opposing discourse on the internet as to whether AI is going to take everyone's job, or if we are witnessing one of the greatest pre-IPO PR jobs in history. Or both. I'm wondering what people smarter than me believe or don't believe.

New ask Hacker News story: Tech market feels like a data entry job

Tech market feels like a data entry job 2 by Gravyness | 0 comments on Hacker News. I spent two hours every day filling my resume data to freshly developed forms made specifically to the hiring process of one or two companies. I have a good resume, worked well for a few years before AI, and know it has got a lot harder to land a development gig. I've worked with modern stuff like AI-generated briefs for our meetings, for our bug logs, even for our Q.A. team email replies. Hell, there was an Agent dedicated to verifying how well our code was written at my last job, so I feel like I've kept up with the innovations. But I have no idea how to land a job in development anymore. Literally, I've asked Gemini "what can I improve?" - I've asked my friends and they feel a similar cenario, except those who were loyal to a company until now.

Ask HN: What are your career plans in the age of AI? 5 by akudha | 4 comments on Hacker News. I expect more and more professions getting affected in the next 3 to 5 years, not all on the positive side. Software dev is already changing. What are your plans? Are you planning to quit software altogether? Or stop coding and adapt, accept AI but stay in software field? Or something else? If you’re not in software, what plans then? It would be helpful if you can include what career level are you at (or age range, if you prefer)

New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: How do you grow OSS projects?

Ask HN: How do you grow OSS projects? 2 by tarasyarema | 3 comments on Hacker News. Hey there, founder of a startup here which main product is an oss project. We've been trying to grow the project for months, and it's lowkey growing in stars and adoption. But it's linear. We see other projects do big jumps and hit thousands of stars in days. Going viral in HN, X, etc. We believe that real adoption might not come from one day to another, and the teams using us are happy and want to use us more. Now, I hate to spam in places like hn or other forums, but what strategies have you found working? Specially in the realm of AI. Obviously if you ask ai, it's always: launch in HN, PH, etc, etc. We post a lot on x, linkedin and such, but would love to push the adoption curve up. Any help welcome! Cheers, Won't spam my project here, if you want to check it it's on gh -> desplega-ai/agent-swarm
