Hi all, I just got laid off due to "changing technological climate" after 1 year working full-time with Fully Meets Expectations on my first review, doing extra side-projects, working ~12 hour days using Cursor and ClaudeCode. I am a SWE with 10+ years experience in fullstack C#, React/Next, SQL stack.

My story for some context...

In January, our CEO decided that he would implement ClaudeCode Agents across our CI pipeline (Agent takes Jira ticket, implements it, creates PR, uses another Agent to CodeReview, then finally pipes it to us to do a final approval).

He deployed a similar workflow with QA Agents (playwright agents provide a report, dev agent takes the report and implements changes, QA Agent runs again, repeat until all tests pass)

This was all implemented within 4-6 months by our CEO just vibe-coding (he has some dev background) it.

We had a department-wide "AI hackathon" event where, in groups of 2, we were asked to fix 2 bugs and implement 1 feature in one day, then give a 10min demo on our expereience.

Some did well, some less so. (My team scored the best)

A week later, me and a couple of other devs were laid off.

tl;dr: Laid off after our CEO replaced half the dev pipeline with Claude agents in 6 months, anyone else seeing this? And I am just wondering for those out there searching for a job, how has interviewing changed?

https://therepo.dev/shared/u9q75q1wiw This video has made me pretty worried about where things are/things are going. I timestamped some of the parts I thought were most concerning, hoping I could get your thoughts.

* Take-home projects being used as free consulting work
* Layoffs due to thinking 1 person can do the job of 8 agents (my situation)YouTube Link
* "Competitive Wages", paying as little as possible

It's a YouTube timestamping webapp, you can add multiple timestamps and share them with people. Useful if you have 3-4 moments you want to share from a YouTube video

Free for the foreseeable future because I do not know, how to monetize, and I have 0 users (other than me and my friends).

Some examples:

Matthew Berman's latest video about vibe coding (most interesting insights pinns):

Ethan Chlebowski video about cooking steak (most useful moments pinned):

This isn't the same as chapters (creator-made) or ?t=1337 (only one timestamp). you can set clip lengths so people know when the desired section you wanted to show them ends.

You can create Montages which basically makes a "Short" out of your timestamps, playing each in succession.

Libraries, AI transcripts, notes suggestion, import from screenshots, etc.

Any feedback appreciated! Been working on this for over a year, glad to answer any questions

Hi all,

I've been using this tool for a while to clip and bookmark exact moments in cooking/information/instruction YouTube videos.

This is an example of Ethan's steak video, I found it helpful to quickly check the doneness visuals and temperatures for reference.

Example Bookmark (you can clone and edit it if you want):

NOTE: This is not attempting to be a promotion, just genuinely curious since I watch a ton of YouTube and it's been kind of useful for me, it's my baby and if it helps anyone else that would feel amazing. fingers crossed I don't get banned or something 😞

The tool's completely free to use, if I ever try to monetize it might be for complex export/AI features or something, but I'm a dev, this is my first app, and i've never monetized something... anyway...

Thanks!
