the next big industry in software is fixing shitty AI code, screen this

That's where I'm making my money. Went from a freelance/consultant dev to pretty much a digital janitor for companies. it IS the next big industry.

Get good at code reviewing - hell really you don't even need to be that good at it all you need to do is know the typical Claude Code comments and search for a lot of "#TODO's"

I make more money doing this now than I did just being a developer. If you're looking for work I HIGHLY suggest you deal with the crap on Linkedin and start advertising yourself as an expert code reviewer with a specialty in diagnosing "AI generated builds". Then wait for the desperate companies to start trickling in.

On one hand, that sounds like a good way to make money. On the other hand, it would be really funny watching all those companies relying on AI too much collapse

I charge clients a premium for that. Mostly because I don't want to deal with it, but if they're desperate enough it can be a lucrative side gig

Lol what do you think we do now, with human code.
