Microsoft has laid off thousands of people while pouring billions into AI.
Then Outlook goes down around the world, and for 10+ hours everyone is waiting on human engineers to bring it back.
Now picture those engineers digging through millions of lines of AI-generated code, 3 years of agents shipping straight to production, trying to work out what any of it actually does.
Funny how companies keep talking about replacing people, right up until something breaks and they need people to fix it.
Microsoft 364🤣🤣🤣 fair play to whoever is giving us updates - a masterclass in communicating absolutely nothing

بگذارید این ماجرا برای چینی‌تبارهای آمریکایی درباره وضعیت جنسن هوانگ درسی باشد:
اگر به‌عنوان یک فرد چینی‌تبار در آمریکا به‌اندازه کافی قدرتمند شوید، یهودیان علیه شما توطئه خواهند کرد تا شرکتتان را از چنگتان درآورند.
تیک‌تاک نخستین شبکه اجتماعی چینی بود که توانست به بازار آمریکا نفوذ کند و تنها پنج سال پس از تأسیس آن، یهودیان آن را از صاحبان چینی‌تبارش مصادره کردند.
انویدیا در ژوئن ۲۰۲۴ از نظر ارزش بازار به بزرگ‌ترین شرکت جهان تبدیل شد و حالا، حتی پیش از گذشت سه سال، قرار است این شرکت را از بنیان‌گذار چینی‌ـ‌آمریکایی‌اش بگیرند و به احتمال زیاد به یک یهودی یا هندی واگذار کنند.
اگر فردی چینی‌تبار و باهوش در ایالات متحده هستید، به‌محض اینکه بیش از حد قدرتمند شوید، اموال و دارایی‌هایتان را از شما خواهند گرفت.
Let this be a lesson for Chinese-Americans regarding the Jensen situation:
If you get powerful enough in America as a Chinese person, the Jews will conspire to steal your company from you.
TikTok was the first Chinese social platform that was able to penetrate the American market, and within five years of its creation, the Jews had confiscated it from its Chinese owners.
Nvidia became the largest company in the world by market cap in June 2024, and not even three years later, the company is going to be stolen from its Chinese-American founder and most likely handed to a Jew or an Indian.
If you are an intelligent Chinese person in the United States, your property will be seized from you if you become too powerful.
In a few years the best engineers on most teams will be the ones who've built with AI every day since they started.
They won't be smarter than you.
What they'll have is years of reps you don't have yet.
Every day they ship something, break it and fix it with AI in the loop, and that adds up fast.
Even Jensen Huang told companies to wait two years for that wave of AI-native engineers.
I'd go further.
You don't have to wait for them, and you don't need a degree to become one.
Pick one real problem this weekend, build it with an AI coding tool, put it live on AWS and break it until you understand it.
Do that for 2 years and you're the engineer everyone's waiting for.

ITS NEVER BEEN EASIER TO GET A TECH JOB
I wont explain
Just spoke with a recruiter who's been placing tech talent since 2011
She's never seen numbers like this
Used to see 50-80 applications per senior engineering role. Now seeing 2,847 for a single L5 backend position at a major cloud provider
Response rate to her outreach dropped from 40% in 2023 to 3% today. Engineers are desperate but companies aren't biting
She placed 127 engineers last year. This year? 8 total placements
Showed me a spreadsheet of her corporate clients. 23 companies that used to hire 15-20 engineers per quarter
Half of them have hiring freezes that aren't officially hiring freezes. "Paused indefinitely pending AI integration review"
The other half are only hiring "AI-native" roles - which means one senior who can wrangle LLMs to replace what used to be a 6-person team
Had a Fortune 500 retail client tell her straight up: "We're not hiring humans for development anymore. Our offshore team uses Cursor and ships 60% faster at one-fifth the cost"
Another client just eliminated their entire junior and mid-level engineering pipeline. Going straight from intern to senior. No ladder to climb
The brutal part: she's getting calls from VPs at these same companies asking her to find AI specialists to "optimize their workforce transformation"
They want her to recruit the people who will automate everyone else out
She's updating her LinkedIn to "Former Tech Recruiter" next week
The age of human software engineers is ending and nobody wants to admit it
Anthropic releasing code review agents that are billed at average of $15–25
Brilliant business model.
1. Make developers forget how to code by generating it all for them
2. Bill them per PR to verify the code nobody understands anymore
Optician smashing your glasses then charging for the eye test
This marks the beginning of the end of the subsidized inference era
It will only go higher
Code Review optimizes for depth and may be more expensive than other solutions, like our open source GitHub Action.
Reviews generally average $15–25, billed on token usage, and they scale based on PR complexity.

Create code with AI full of bugs and 1000s of lines of code
Use AI to review the code and pay for it to find more bugs to generate more code and continue the loop

yeah this guy has lost his mind
‘Professor’ Jiang says Islam was created By Jews. He says Jews invented Islam after they were expelled from Jerusalem by the Romans and fled into Arabia. He says Muhammad was actually the Jewish messiah. He also says the Al-Aqsa mosque is actually the Jewish Third Temple.

Everyone's debating roles, as normies do.
Ask what doesn't change, things are hosted somewhere, there's an attack surface, and trust needs to be verified
That never changes
What changes is it's agents on both sides now
Agents attacking you
Your agents fighting back at machine speed
No human in the loop on either side
Cloud security, agent-to-agent trust, AI governance / compliance, AI security on workloads and platforms
Everything else is cooked
What’s cybersecurity going to look like five years from now? I know that’s a hard question, but I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. Would be good to hear what others think.
What roles won’t exist? What product categories disappear? What tech will be obsolete?

Whoop has 800 employees today and just announced plans to grow headcount +600 this year. Investing in talent AND ai tools not mutually exclusive.
Many of these “AI layoffs” are just companies under performing or lacking a bigger market opportunity.

What did removing Saddam, Gaddafi, Assad get us? Chaos, civil war, genocide.
The rule for regime change operations in the Middle East is that they don’t flip a country from bad-to-good. They flip a country from bad-to-worse.
