I think you missed the part where there were much much less software devs/engineers earlier.
Year after year it was just much more new people joining as things got easier and more accessible.
Now you see 40 or 50 year olds far and between where most guys I see are in their 30s. Ones that are 60 yo diluted in the sea of new entrants.
Ageism didn't came from the top it just happened with flood of young employees, there is just social dynamics where you might get 40yo not being a manager getting along with bunch of 25yolds but that's going to be an exception not the rule.
I have vibe coded 3 applications I never had time to code but always wanted.
Now it is different in a way where now I don’t have time to use those apps.
That’s a joke.
But I do believe it answers the question of “what to build?”. If you didn’t have time before LLM assisted coding you still don’t have time for it. You most likely know what is used and what not already by heart or by some measurements.
Most educated and motivated Polish people were slaughtered by Germans and Russians in WW II then ones still alive working for or heavily oppressed by puppet soviet state.
If you are a B2B SaaS and you aren't getting big customers via the website, you're neglecting it. We get fortune 1000 customers from organic traffic, and we aren't a big company.
I’ve noticed a lot of business models intentionally try to funnel you through their sales pipeline and only expose the price after “getting to know you”.
Which is slang for “getting a chance to plead their case for why it’s going to be so bloody expensive”.
