Easy win for companies that didn't buy into the hype. I'm the only dedicated software dev at my company, so there was no middle manager to foolishly think a chat bot could do my job. We are a small company that can compete with big players, and those big players appear to be floundering. Now, we are expanding.
I was more or less replaced by AI (they didn't call it that) last year. I was doing a mixture of tech sales & support and before that I did cloud support for a subcobtractor of one of the big public cloud orgs. I'm lucky to have relatively manageable bills so I've just been paying cobra and taking the time to think through my next move. If I stay in tech, It'll only be for a company that truly values its employees and what they bring to the table. I don't want to work with AI coworkers, I don't want to be told what tools to use to do my job right. I don't want to build the infrastructure of digital oppression.
Not sure what that leaves available, but I'm glad to hear these companies are making up ground on those who chased short term (especially NEXT quarter) gains.
