Thanks for voting in the last poll. I'm going to tweak it slightly now.

Same question: What do you think the primary reason is for the entry level dev market being so competitive right now?

You want to know the real reason why most hiring managers won't tell you why they didn't hire you?

Karens that threaten legal action, negative reviews, or who just want to argue about it.

The root problem in most things in life is almost always Karens.

How many of you have actually completed the 100daysofcode challenge where you actually coded for 100 days straight without any days off?

Which would be more harmful to humanity in the long run - if the whole world blindly supported AI advancements or blindly resisted them?

I've never met someone determined to become a developer not become a developer.

I've met A LOT of people who swear that they're determined, yet their actions over time expose a different truth though.

If you're looking for job security, you should definitely join a company that prioritizes building "AI" features.

There's no chance that the company is doing this because they're desperate for revenue.

AND AI features attract venture capital money and we all know how much VCs are there to support the longevity of the company.

So if you see AI in the job posting that just means "ALL IN", am I right?

As a developer, it's imperative that you ask someone what language they used to build their project, and without asking for any more context, tell them why they should build it in your favorite programming language.

They were just ignorant and they are lucky to have you guide them in the right direction.

To those who insist on spamming out your resume to as many companies as possible, you were right all along.

Nothing shows that you're a perfect fit for a company you applied for like sending them the most generic application possible.

Figuring out companies you specifically align with and crafting a tailored cover letter is inefficient. You especially don't want to follow up with recruiters because as someone desperate for a job, you hold all of the power.

That may not seem logical to you, but logic takes time. To you, speed and efficiency is all that matters. Besides, you have AI to do all of the thinking for you.

If most other people are sending out generic resumes to a thousand companies, you should too. Because all you have to do is send your resume out to 1001 companies. And that's what will make you stand out from the rest.
