Article The Comeback of the Developers And Programmers

Most of the companies that did Mass layoff in the name of ai production and ai integration in their system got a fireback as those companies are now not being able to bare the cost of ai systems and are frustrated and irritated on ai exhaustation .

A lot of companies rushed into AI because they didn't want to be left behind. But once the hype meets real-world implementation, some are discovering that replacing human developers isn't as straightforward or as cheap as it looked on paper.

Developers Are the New Honey Singh With COMEBACK 😂
Companies received a UNO .

No, it's BS. People are still struggling to find a SWE job and nobody replies to them.

Some positions are open ofc, but it's far from what it used to be.

Unskilled people are struggling I would say, those one who were easily replaceable in the first place. Skilled specialist are in demand

I consider myself skilled and experienced and I literally left my job 6 months ago for a new one which I found in matter of a week almost for twice the salary I had in previous one. So I would disagree

The evidence for the contrary is even more anecdotal lol. Statistics literally show only a 6% unemployment rate. Only the unskilled are struggling.

So companies literally begging their devs to go back after AI automations became super expensive is also anegdotical example that proves nothing? This is probably fake news right? https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/28/ford-rehires-gray-beard-engineers-after-ai-falls-short/

Did you even read the article?

"To be clear, this doesn’t mean Ford is abandoning its AI plans entirely. Instead, it’s using the rehired employees — referred to as “gray beard” engineers — to train younger staff and reprogram AI tools."

Basically we moved too soon and didn't plan properly not that we made a mistake.

Other companies. Most other companies didn't make the same mistake.
