tech job hiring: 2021: - leetcode easy/mediums - remote-first jobs - IPO every week - new grad headcount - interviews every day 2025: - leetcode hards - 5 days in-office - tech company bans - ai/ml experience required - no offers

if you’re a software engineer, invest in learning ai/ml.

deepseek and tiktok have taught me american engineering talent is pure cope. after working at bytedance and with their engineers, china is setup to win the global ai race and embarrass us.

Unlike OpenAI, DeepSeek is open AI.

if you run deepseek locally, you can avoid sending your data to the ccp. this should motivate you to learn ai/ml.

if it’s an american company making the breakthrough, it’s a big step for humankind. if it’s a chinese company, it’s a national security threat.

if you’re a software engineer, mandarin chinese should be the next language you learn.

I created a roadmap to learn artificial Intelligence and machine learning in 2025. I recently transitioned to working in ai/ml as a software engineer. Here are the best free resources and roadmap I used to prepare for interviews and land a job. github.com/armankhondker/…

my goal for this year: help software engineers with getting a job in ai/ml.

if you're still learning to code in 2025, you aren't wasting your time.

if you want to be hireable, learn machine learning.

if you’re a cs major you aren’t cooked, ai/ml needs more software engineers.

if you're a software engineer, here's a roadmap to learn ai/ml. aimlengineer.io/p/breaking-int…

tech companies are still actively hiring, keep learning and applying.

tech jobs in 2025: - ai/ml - vibe coding - 5 days in-office - tech company layoffs - invisible ai to solve leetcode

my company just laid off thousands of tech workers to invest in ai, this is endgame.

if you’re an employed software engineer, recognize how lucky you are.

if you think ai/ml engineers are just software engineers, you’re right.
