One of founders , he is from Finance side but he understands and know how to use API . sometimes he’ll ask the dev team to create API endpoints like getProductFromScraping

Then he’ll use that JSON data and vibe code to build his own B2B websites like blogs for B2B or simple static HTML site pulling straight from the API lmfao, deploy it, also buy then use the domain as well.

I mean I didn't expect that he would be able to do that at first lmfao

It seems like today even non-technicales can code and know how to use API

Anyone have seen this similar situations before?

They could have prevented this if they refactored when the file was like 3k-5k lmfao

Lately I read that those technical SWE founders, Mark - Meta, Sergey - Google. they return back to code again and get technical again.

The reason behide this is because of their competitor companies move very fast like Anthorphobic where they ship and release new features every week lmfao

And to be able to move fast and beat their competitors those technical founders turn their founder mode on and start to code and get technical again lmfao!

I heard some compaies they did this and some even think about doing it.

They reduce headcounts(saving money) while still gettng the same output...

I mean we have to accept that with AI + dev's expereince/knowleadge you can get the same output with less people....

Some companies think end-users are their testers since they will report/submit tickets to dev team anyway lmfao.

Beside some C level see that and want to layoff QA/tester people...

Anyway what's your opinion on this? Is it just how things are and we have to accept and adapt?

In your experience, do people who work in the office tend to get promoted or receive raises more often just because they’re more “visible”?

I’ve heard this argument a lot that being physically present makes you more noticeable to managers/bosses, which can lead to better career progression.

Like, normal employees might randomly chat with higherups in the kitchen, during smoke breaks, etc., and that could influence how they’re perceived.

As the title says and you end up earning at least 2300 EURO monthly after tax

Besides most companies do micro manage.

Also BAD WLB

Also some companies got own personal chefs, so u enjoy free yummy pierogi

And I wanna hear what's like being devs in Poland nowadays 2026?

I read they say modern teams they do this

>

The Modern Twist: "Walking the Board"

>Many high performing teams have moved away from the "Three Questions" because it can feel like a status report to a boss. Instead, they "Walk the Board."

>Instead of going person-by-person, the team looks at the Sprint Board (Jira, Trello, etc.) from right to left (starting with what is closest to "Done").

>Focus: "What do we need to do to get this specific ticket across the finish line?"

>Outcome: It focuses on the work rather than the person, which usually leads to better collaboration.

>

they do this instead of asking each dev what they did, do and will do.

is this true? if yes do you guys like it so far?

You probably heard at NASA, even janitor are somehow engineers

does this also apply to majority of mid/big tech ?

like a janitor code and build IOT devices using Rashberry PI to check the dirtiniess of the floor, humidity of the office,

you see the pic...

Heard from a Thai friend about what my title says

and the reason they prefer to not hire someone over 35 because they say something like

1. 35yo might be slow,
2. don't listen to other colleagues, because they think "I'm older, you listen to me, not vice versa"
3. don't adapt to new tech
4. Hard to control/manage

Therefore it is easier to hire the younger one

So as the title says.

Does this happend in your country as well?, where they barely hire new grads and 35yo devs.

Heard somewhere they say something once you make it you get these things

Pros of being dev

1. High salary
2. Great WLB
3. Retire faster

Cons

1. Job security, can get lay off anyitme
2. Many rounds of interview

I recently read some posts they say with AI, a junior can coding at mid/senior faster level, you probably saw those people who post "I build xyz in 5 hours with AI"

However I also read they say with AI those mid/senior devs, they can lose the "depth of coding skill" compared to before AI era, so the quality of code review might drop, resulting.

Because AI is a part of their workflow and if you use it alot u will lose muscle memory of coding/SWE.

idk if it's true or nah but we will see

Anyway as the title says

Normally it will cause 3 times higher than that...

He said he bought it and he can use it fine but the id of email is strange domain not like @ gmail. , it is something he never saw before but he can use it...

I kinda accept all people as long as they seem legit

but what about you?

Let's say you build a hobby project in free time, so you update probably 1-2 monthly and got 1k-10k users.

Your app is free and donation are welcome in exchange for some stickers or something similar.

So i wonder do you normally have

A. Local, Production

Or

B. Local, Staging, Production?

As far as I know if you add Staging it also costs some money probably 10-20usd monthly

Imagine you got 5-10 big projects/features lining up to you.

and your overheard a convo during lunch where 5 mid/seniors devs are about to jump ship and join your company's biggest rival

If it was me I would literally beg them to open 1 more position for me lmfao

This is a hypothetical question but this probably somewhere where companies A want to poach companies B employees lol

Move to Dubai or something? idk

And those EU high tax country they tax 30-50% of your investment profits lmfao
