AI obsolescence is “coming for basically everyone in due time,” says one engineer who went from earning $150k to being locked out of the workforce for over a year.
Can you be more specific? What is unappealing to you? Do you feel like companies don’t feel their problems are unsolvable? Do you feel companies don’t want someone who uses ai tools?
I’m a very experienced software developer. I’ve tried a lot of “AI” tools and they are just a waste of time. You can use ChatGPT as some kind of search engine, but it fails utterly with more complex tasks and code bases.
It’s a bit like answers on stackoverflow. Sometimes a bad solution got the highest vote and you find a suitable approach for your problem on page 2. You need experience to understand the difference.
AI tools for coding were also trained on hobby code bases, tutorials and such. You can see that in the output. It’s missing input validation, error handling, patterns etc.
Sure you can “discuss” with AI to add those features, but frankly its faster to just write it yourself. (For production ready code, a POC might be ok)
So if someone shows up claiming he wants to solve my “unsolveable” problems with AI I think they are not qualified enough to understand that they probably won’t. Also if an AI tool could do it why would I need them?
The rest of the resume is also just unspecific. It seems he knows Javascript, as far as I recall. Seems to do frontend and graphics. But I have no idea which frameworks he knows or what was his actual task in these projects. (I just skimmed over the text, this is what I recall. I might be wrong about it)
Finally the whole context: AI stole my job -> I want a job where I can use AI
So apparently he says AI can do his job, which means for me: not qualified
Please remember: my very personal opinion, based on a 2 minute research. Could be very wrong and biased.
That’s the exact kind of thing experienced developers want to do.
They don’t always want to just write easy code again and again. That can get boring and tedious. They want to come into a project with difficult problems and take ownership of them and solve them.
Because the audience is not his future co-workers, it’s the managers and hiring staff who have problems that they need solved and are aware of the existing limitations that they have within the team.

Not op and not native English speaking, but to me it reads like “I want to solve the problems your current staff is too stupid for”
edited a part I misunderstood

I can see that but why not write it in a way that doesn’t insult your potential future coworkers and indirectly the people who hired them?
