elie2222 shares that an engineer laid off in February had a CTO end his interview midway after he admitted he'd barely used AI. The poster doubts he'll find work soon, yet the engineer remains convinced AI is a hype cycle. Reblogger CtrlAltDwayne argues that by 2026, being anti-AI as a dev is a huge red flag — it signals you're slow, inefficient, and expensive.
