Where do you think the steam deck breaks fine from 🤣!

Yep. Wages and 160k+ out of school are slowing down and mostly going away. Still plenty of the regular stuff left.

If you know TF, and container deployments you can find a job for 120k all day at the drop off a hat in the states. Send me a resume and I’ll ping you to a role we are filling for 140k.

As a senior I found a role for 210 and turned down 3 150-175k offers 3 months ago.

It’s harder, it’s still not physical labor for slave wages.

There is a right sizing of over hiring as well as everyone scrambling to find what real efficiency AI brings. It’s bringing variability.

Nearly 20 years in. 

As far as jobs are, I love it.  I get paid stupid money to play with fancy lego and work. The tech hasn’t changed that much, AI is quite helpful and probably brings down my actual working time to 20 hours a week.

The rest of the time I’m WFH enjoying lots of steam deck breaks. 

I love the people screeching about how AI is just garbage and can’t help them. Because it makes my look that much better when far less work and they set the bar much lower. 

You sound depressed. AI isn’t a good reason to be hating your job.

I’m devops? Horse shit. Maybe you ain’t making 150k right out of college but there are PLENTY of devops jobs.
