the next big industry in software is fixing shitty AI code, screen this

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's where I'm making my money. Went from a freelance/consultant dev to pretty much a digital janitor for companies. it IS the next big industry.

Get good at code reviewing - hell really you don't even need to be that good at it all you need to do is know the typical Claude Code comments and search for a lot of "#TODO's"

I make more money doing this now than I did just being a developer. If you're looking for work I HIGHLY suggest you deal with the crap on Linkedin and start advertising yourself as an expert code reviewer with a specialty in diagnosing "AI generated builds". Then wait for the desperate companies to start trickling in.

On one hand, that sounds like a good way to make money. On the other hand, it would be really funny watching all those companies relying on AI too much collapse

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 1 points 6 hours ago

oh they will and my year long stint of making a good decent amount of money isn't going to last. And that's fine, I'll be back to being an actual dev again.

I know it's not going to last and since I'm charging a premium for what I'm doing most of it is going right towards retirement.

They'll collapse regardless.

I charge clients a premium for that. Mostly because I don't want to deal with it, but if they're desperate enough it can be a lucrative side gig

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

yep

Lol what do you think we do now, with human code.

but now you can use the magic words that get the morons in the executive suites all hot and bothered
