I am required to vibe code as the core role of my job. Any learning for how code works happens on my own time. When the LLM cannot complete the task with prompting, I ask for more time to learn the tech stack. I have been told repeatedly "Just get the feature across the line with AI and then we can readdress."
I am entirely unhireable anywhere else due to my lack of actual ability even though I now have about a year in the chair professionally and about to wrap up my BS. I am just hoping I can learn on my own time and then sneak in some time to review code the LLM produces at work to better understand the codebase.
I have a lot of fear regarding whether or not I will be able to stay in this profession given the harshness of the market towards juniors right now. Even with the vast amount of VC funds being injected into NLP and AI more generally, I could only land this role for $20/hr with no benefits and no ability to grow. All other applications have found candidates who were more qualified, which is fair.
My goal is to stick with it and show through personal projects and time in chair as a "Software Engineer" until I can actually land one of these mid level engineering roles. With no real engineering mentorship and having to learn how to code and be a good engineer as another part time endeavor (on top of finishing my BS) after finishing my day as a software engineer, I am finding it hard to see how others who are less determined and less willing to sacrifice other obligations will find their way in to the industry. | Yes, I use AI agents at work daily | Yes, to a great extent | Software engineering;Business process automation | Agent/multi-agent orchestration;Vector databases for AI applications;MCP servers;Integration with external agents and APIs;Personalized agent creation | null | AI agents have improved collaboration within my team. | AI agents have improved the quality of my code. | AI agents have increased my productivity.;AI agents have helped me automate repetitive tasks. | AI agents have accelerated my learning about new technologies or codebases.;AI agents have helped me solve complex problems more effectively.;AI agents have reduced the time spent on specific development tasks. | The cost of using certain AI agent platforms is a barrier. | null | I am concerned about the accuracy of the information provided by AI agents.;Integrating AI agents with my existing tools and workflows can be difficult.;I have concerns about the security and privacy of data when using AI agents. | null | It takes significant time and effort to learn how to use AI agents effectively.;My company's IT and/or InfoSec teams have strict rules that do not allow me to use AI agent tools or platforms | null | null | LangChain;LangGraph | null | null | null | null | null | When I don’t trust AI’s answers;When I want to fully understand something;When I want to learn best practices;When I want to compare different solutions;When I have ethical or security concerns about code;When I’m stuck and can’t explain the problem;When I need help fixing complex or unfamiliar code;When I need quick help troubleshooting | experience and subject matter expertise. I believe in the great en-shit-ification that is to come. LLMs have a great way of getting people to POC really quickly, but beyond that for anything more than a changing some basic CSS here and there, it will provide more liability than value. This means that having expert level knowledge on a given subdomain will be the most valuable thing an engineer can do. HTML and CSS might be on their way out the door due to their simplicity, but when you get into logic and complexities, I believe that LLMs are long away from being able to do those tasks at a production level. The problem is the gap between what they can do and what stakeholders claim they can do. Web apps have already started deteriorating. It is only a matter of time before sites begin to crumble due to not working as intended or opening up vulnerabilities that were previously secure. | 40,000 | 6 |
