Claude 5=Nuclear bomb (Blind)

• TheRealBoz (Meta): Even when using Claude to write most code, it hasn’t made people much faster. It also can’t function without a SWE. Even if the next model makes less mistakes and has a bigger context, still wont change the real bottlenecks.
• nhci (Amazon): Worst part is, someone with an MBA is going to see this and believe it.
• uqwH11 (Google): Not sure what you are smoking OP. It is still a mid productivity boost for anything reasonably hard, and nowhere close to replace actual SWE. It is not 10x, not even 2x for things which are hard and actually time consuming. Nobody cares how fast it can build crappy CRUD website or another HTML-based game nobody will play.
• AeJP42 (Indeed): The last time I asked Claude 4 to write me some unit tests it wrote tests for functionality that literally didn’t exist and then mocked everything so they would pass anyway, lol

I’m about to get laid off from Meta (Blind)

• muul (JUUL): For Meta you usually get 16 weeks of salary severance and then additional 2 weeks per year based on years of service. Whatever is not vested by your termination date is gone. Both of these are pretty standard stuff for tech.
• mstrchf117 (Google): It’s sad, how long did you work at Meta?? It’s a shitty thing to do after they make you grind leetcode during interviews.
• rWIT40: Just in case, I’d suggest signing up for Blind with your current company before you get laid off. That way you can actually see what’s going on after the layoffs.
• Vh31sK (Airbnb): Your post is confusing. Are you getting laid off or are you getting fired? These are not the same thing.

‘The Worst Leak That I’ve Witnessed’: U.S. Cybersecurity Agency Leaves Its Digital Keys Out in Public on GitHub (r/technology)

• thegooncity: The worst leak they’ve witnessed so far.
• scamdrill: Six months of GovCloud admin credentials sitting in a public repo named Private-CISA, in a file called importantAWStokens, and the official statement is “no indication sensitive data was compromised.” I mean, technically true — nobody needed to compromise it. It was just sitting there. Like a buffet.
• SparkStormrider: I wish I could say I am shocked, but the level of ineptitude in govt. at all levels is astounding. Just like in Trumps last stint as President. Rudy Guliani (sp?) was put over cyber security and they deployed a public facing SQL server with ZERO protections. It got owned in a few minutes after deployment. And that’s just one of what we know about…
• Imoutofchips: They chased away every competent person they had. Just crooks and idiots left.

Google Search as you know it is over (r/technology)

• bitskewer: How are they paying for this? Seems like they’re cannibalizing their ad referral business while providing zero-cost AI services. Surely this isn’t sustainable?
• jmonschke: The “enshitification” of Google search is not an accident. It was an intentional decision made within Google, because when you find what you are looking for on the first page, they can’t serve you as many ads.
• willieb3: The problem is that google is scraping websites and bypassing ad revenue that should go to websites. I used to want google to reach my website, but now there is legitimately nothing in it for me so I am actively blocking Google’s bots.
• NicolasCageFan492: We really had a good thing going before algorithms.

Gen Z’s AI backlash is getting louder (r/technology)

• Samski877: Gen Z graduating into a job market where companies want “entry level candidates” with 5 years experience while simultaneously replacing half the entry level work with AI is genuinely brutal timing.
• chriskot123: I don’t think this is specific to Gen Z…as a millennial, there is a TON of backlash from us (and even Gen x) as well.
• ischickenafruit: “AI is going to replace you and make me rich” is not exactly a winning message.
• SNTCTN: I love getting emails from people who clearly didn’t read what I sent and just had AI write a response for them.
