| This is an AI slop website the same as spammed on Show HN. Doesn't matter if the author is incredibly wealthy. |

| Does it matter if the author is a renowned expert in the field? |

| ▲ | paxys 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Expert in AI != expert in labor markets. All the "research" on the site comes from a single LLM prompt. | |
| ▲ | faangguyindia 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Show HN isn't about being expert. | |
| ▲ | orphea 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | No. You can be an expert in one field, and have no idea what you're doing in another. | | |
| ▲ | georgemcbay 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | > You can be an expert in one field, and have no idea what you're doing in another. And for whatever reason a lot of people in startup/tech seem to have a huge Dunning-Kruger effect blind spot where they believe knowing a lot about one thing makes them an expert in everything. This used to just be funny, but when it started to intersect with politics it began to actively contribute to destroying society. It isn't funny anymore. (I don't think Karpathy's job data here is destroying society, this is a more generalized observation). | | |
| ▲ | thejazzman 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It is wild that ya'll are hating on a website that visualizes data.
That's like table stakes standard common practice for software engineers for decades. This is the equivalence of telling a Designer that can't create infographics on anything but principled design subjects -- or else they're out of line. Any research or data they might use isn't relevant because they're not exerts? lol? | | |

| ▲ | anonymous_user9 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | The problem is that the data it's visualizing is fake. The color grading is just an AI guessing how susceptible jobs are. |

< Its especially(!) very common for people who made an exit and are now "wealthy" - sure they can afford to have an oppinion on everything, but very often they are just talking bullshit, thinking: "hey, I made it in field X, so why do not try field Y". Esp the "MBA crowd" is famous for this: For whatever reason they think they are more intelligent than ana engineer who filed a patent, e.g. (while most of the MBA bobos would fail just in acquiring all documents required for this) Other example: If you wrote once a book and it got traction, even if you are not a proven expert you will be invited to television shows etc. (and MORE than the people who are real experts with proven track record) |

| Meanwhile my show HN didn't even get single upvote or any comment. Sigh... |

| The VIEW could be AI slop, but underlying CONTENT has some meaning. There is definitely impact on Software engineering jobs at the moment, interns/juniors are struggling to find jobs, companies are squeezing every bit of dev slack time to produce more stuff with AI. |

There is definitely impact on Software engineering jobs at the moment, interns/juniors are struggling to find jobs Is that notion supported by this content? The BLS Outlook for most software engineering jobs is most in the "much faster than average" growth range. | | |
| ▲ | throwaw12 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | BLS outlook is based on historical trends and inertia, both could be true at the same time: * Yes software engineering jobs can grow - by increasing demand for custom software thanks to coding agents unlock * AI can impact it - by making software engineers LLM code approvers | | |
| ▲ | nerevarthelame 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'm not saying that your assessments are wrong. But you were talking about how valuable this content is, and I don't understand how the insight you claimed to get from the visualization ("There is definitely impact on Software engineering jobs at the moment, interns/juniors are struggling to find jobs") could at all be discernible from the visualization. |
| |
| ▲ | lotsofpulp 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | BLS outlook is comically bad. For example, BLS had pharmacists' outlook as amazing all throughout the 2010s, while /r/pharmacy and sdnforums had a constant stream of posts complaining about declining pay and quality of life at work, all while the pharmacy business' profit margins and number of employers declined. What would be useful is tracking the change in minimum pay per hour from legitimate job listings, now that there are quite a few states that require posting pay ranges on job listings. |
