Have seen this guy named Alex Heiden in YouTube and instagram posting this kind of content where he says in many videos software engineers are doomed what are your thoughts about this guy ? https://youtube.com/shorts/n9d25aGXR2E?feature=share #engineering #software #swe
Sounds like he is just trying to sell us on some no code product. Many cases of the same
Yes please change careers asap so my value goes up.
This guy is a fraud. Sold his ‘SaaS’ (recruiting website) for $100K, called it a 7 figure exit due to 48X MRR valuation. Now he’s doing a NoCode grift
I’ve used no code tools and they suck, you can’t build anything useful with them
I’ve used them and it’s a good way to take something easy to do in code and make it less customizable and non scalable.
Lol No code SaaS
Does this even deserve a post on Blind? That chipmunk got 14 likes. @op - stop being a pu*sy and get back to work
Srsly lol, I’d entertain the idea if there was a shred of substance in the original video
No code grifter. Was with a company where we thought we could get our web dev done with no code and maintain a tech product service. Fast forward 1 year, we had 1 failed tech product that never got to even QA let alone automated nothing, we paid some outrageous grifter consultant 150K for a Wordpress website (don’t blame me, I tried to talk the CCO out of this but we were starting to get desperate), and we were on the hook with another consultancy developer agency for another 6 figures for integrating salesforce into our current product… which looked like it was far from getting finished any time soon. That’s when I realized the doom and gloom coding is dying was mainly being sold by people who don’t realize the gap between techies and non-techies…and started considering a switch 👽 Just my own experience. So take it with a grain of salt. But it’s going to take much better tech and simplifying tech down for non tech folk before devs are dead. By then, I don’t know which jobs will stay standing in their current form.
The ones who watch these people are doomed indeed
If No code tools work for your job Find a new job.
These people just don’t understand how things actually work. ChatGPT could _possibly_ replace an engineer for stage 0 MVP ie a UI with maybe an ultra basic persistence layer. It could not replace engineers required to turn that piece of garbage into a legit scaled out app that supports any significant user base.
When it comes to engineering, I tend not to care about what someone who has never worked for a few years as an engineer, has to say. He seems like yet another "entrepreneur, tech founder, but never shipped a line of production code" twat.
