Not laid off and never in danger.
I do not use or fear about AI.
I used to work a regular quantity and spend a lot of time on programming passion initiatives. I’ve since reversed that by working extra and spending nearly no time on passion initiatives. The extra time I spend at work entertaining the needs of junior builders (code fashion, framework nonsense) the extra my want for programming turns into a poisonous loathing.

I’ll reply straight to the questions
37 hrs/week, of which 3/day may be stable work, the remainder is eye rolling and facepalming about issues like salesforce, oracle and related horror straight from hell.
Not affected by layoffs, working for a firm that’s a moat, that nearly prints cash.
AI saves me time as a context-heavy stackoverflow at hand, with excessive sign to noise ratio. It will not exchange me any time quickly. Excited for AGI although, I may use clever colleagues.

Typically 7h30m at my desk. Not all of that’s work and naturally little of what’s truly work is efficient work.
There isn’t any change in administration and I’ve not heard of any layoffs. I work with software program however in conventional trade. (i.e. secure, comparatively low-paying software program jobs in comparison with ‘huge tech’, and the place individuals have a tendency to remain 10, 20, 30 years within the firm).

As a principally impartial entrepreneur, I child about having a work-life steadiness that’s vertical in a calendar as an alternative of horizontal. That is: 3-6 months of extraordinarily heavy work (~12 hours a day, no weekends, minimal social life), and 3-6 months of relaxation afterwards.
I think about it is a sailor’s life-style – you go on a sea, it is heavy work, however at the least life is straightforward ;), after which you get again house, and you take pleasure in life 🙂
It’s tougher with age although – far more tough to handle distractions through the durations of deep work. Also, I’m considering of beginning a household now (~40yo), so I feel this will likely complicate issues 😉

4-6 hours deep work a day, trending in direction of 4
3ish hours of buisness work a day.
Probably 2-4 hours of work associated stuff and fascinated with work
Meant to be doing 1+ hours of studying and studying every day.
Trying to take weekends extra severely however that relies upon on $ for the week. Daily consistency is a huge problem for me. Some days I can simply fall off a cliff. Others it is going to be 10-11 logged hours.
Copilot and Chat day by day whereas programming. Little duties and boiler plate are taken care of. When getting very deep into growing a system, the chat wants increasingly more context so turns into much less helpful.

I’m in compiler growth, and intention to do 1-2 hours of intellectually stimulating work on a regular basis.
If I’ve different busywork I do as a lot as crucial, if not doomscrolling or learn literature.
|

|

doomscrolling is a aggressive surroundings; HN is a first rate begin so you are already at a good place to begin, though you may wish to level-up to FB, and even TikTok for extra superior expertise.

AI solely wasted my time. It can’t actually clear up something past fundamental StackOverflow questions and it even fails on tremendous easy questions too. So I wasted hours to find the very fact.
I work so long as I would like in principle, however I attempt to work 8hr/day, which is anticipated from me, however in fact at the least 2hr/day is spent on conferences. Sometimes I do not “work” in any respect (I imply coding), normally I get round 2-4h to suppose and code.
I’m not nervous about layoffs, whereas I normally do not consider in myself I really feel I nonetheless have a robust expertise which are wanted on the market and the worst that may occur is a little smaller wage in one other firm.

That traces up with my AI expertise, too. These days the whole thing of my AI expertise is sitting on huddles with juniors/intermediates who will sort out half a line of code after which watch for Copilot advert infinitum. It might be a bit annoying–just write the code your self!
I feel these instruments have a while saving purposes for writing boilerplate, however I’ve by no means been in a position to make use of them to really clear up a actual downside. ChatGPT seems like an enchancment over Copilot however there’s nonetheless a methods to go.
I’m to see how Copilot X [1] seems. Maybe it is going to be extra helpful.

I’m working on common 1-3 hours a day of paid work and relaxation is tinkering and taking part in round with stuff i like.
I do alot of ML in my sparetime for my hobbyprojects, so AI is rushing stuff up if i would like one thing boilerplated.
However it has slowed me considerably down if i attempt to use AI for issues which are onerous and complicated.
|
|
|
|
Trying out entrepreneurship for the primary time, and my coding exercise tracker I put in round 7-9 hours of coding, with maybe 1-2 hours on prime for non coding actions, every day.
I normally take a break day every week with little to no work.
|
|
|
|
|
I do not use AI in my each day (but, most likely) however I’m bullish on it normally. I at present work ~8 hour days M-F, typical stuff.
> Did the layoff wave push you to work extra hours than anticipated?
No. I’m a prime performer (not a self evaluation, formally documented) so I determine I’ll be the final to go.

> I determine I’ll be the final to go
That’s not essentially true. Quite a few different issues can take precedence over being a prime performer, with regards to price reducing.

I’m battling a power sickness concurrently I’m working my very own firm with a couple of workers.
The constructive facet is that my well being points forces me to delegate and never get entangled in day-to-day operations an excessive amount of (which I beforehand did). Now I can simply work 1-2 hours a day at max and nonetheless maintain the corporate buzzing alongside. Most work is on design the enterprise long run for fulfillment and sometimes indirectly concerned with purchasers.
AI helps immensely to rapidly get issues out of the best way and solely focus on important issues. Many mundane duties might be finished utilizing AI now and it truly is a recreation changer and makes it simpler to take on extra advanced duties as a enterprise proprietor.

I’m a cofounder of a Series A start-up, so work hours are onerous to outline. You are form of at all times working or fascinated with work and it’s onerous to place away.
But inside the firm, we have discovered a lot of makes use of for LLMs to avoid wasting time. One or two of the builders are followers of Github Copilot, however that’s a comparatively minor influence up to now. The larger impacts are round information cleansing and content material. Plenty of jobs that was once “hire someone on Upwork for $20/hr to do a lot of boring clean-up work on thousands of records or write repetitive text about something” at the moment are “write a 10 line python script with the OpenAI api to generate the result for $8 and then QA”. There are additionally loads of makes use of of boring outdated home-grown ML fashions and stuff like that to scrub up information in circumstances the place the issue is extra particular and predictable.
So far AI simply makes our greatest builders sooner and our greatest product individuals make a bigger influence extra rapidly and at a decrease price. It hasn’t resulted in much less inside hiring or something like that. But it has resulted in much less Upwork-style one-off contracting, particularly round information cleansing and content material clean-up.

Depends on the day. Anywhere from 0-12.
Some days, simply nothing occurs. Can be spooky quiet.
> Did the layoff wave push you to work extra hours than anticipated?
No. It is unlikely to have an effect on me.
> Does AI save you time already?
No. It’s finished the alternative – I spend a lot of time both fielding questions on how we will use it (typically we will not, but).

Professor, so perhaps not who you imply to ask. Four hours of deep work, that’s, artistic work. Maybe one other eight of stuff. No AI but, though I’m tremendous .
|
|
|
|
I’ve a 4 hour work-week (30h), and work on common 6h a day, typically 6.5-7 if I’ve one thing I’m within the center off. Certainly used ChatGPT to avoid wasting time, however hasn’t affected my working hours.
|
|
|

I don’t know the way many hours I work, however not too long ago I noticed that within the final week I used to be in entrance of a display for nearly 12 hours on common (per day)… And that’s with going out for lunch and sleeping. I wasn’t even working for a lot of these hours. It’s been a lengthy chilly winter right here within the north. Currently I’m quickly introducing some corrections, as I felt I used to be a wreck.

A buddy of mine working as a deep studying engineer at one of many huge tech corporations is working her ass off on account of worry of layoffs. She talked about that their supervisor takes quiz! from them and offers them efficiency assessments. The vibe is extremely tense and besides a few who’re working on secret initiatives, the remainder are left hanging in a looming lay-off spherical.
Every day she works until late at nights or awake 5am to proceed working. She now thinks that working like that over the pas few months has lowered the possibilities of her being laid off however she’s is totally fed-up and I feel she’s risking having a burnout.
|
|
|
|
Wouldn’t or not it’s — at the least, with the protection of wanting from a distance — be higher that she discovered one other firm which actively desires her?
I at all times get suspicious of mass layoffs — I at all times suppose they aren’t related to efficiency however to networking and advertising of your work.

I’ve a 30 hours per week contract. Though I typically discover it onerous to really work 30 hours and never rather more (when I’m making an attempt to sort out an fascinating downside).
|
|
|
|
No, I do not work extra due to the layoff waves. As a latest father with scars from a close-to-burnout scenario, I worth work-life steadiness greater than the rest.
So far, I’m not utilizing AI a lot, principally as a result of I lack the routine to make use of it, however I’m not against utilizing it if/when it could actually assist me.

2 instances 8 hours a week, software program made my life at work worse (at first it appeared like a actually whole lot then the Government managed to transform my database software program to database service with some additional obligations on me about uptime). The layoff wave haven’t touched me but however since I’m a male Ukrainian, the hazard of mobilization is hanging over me which can make my working hours 24 instances 7 instances 365 instances life.

Depends on how you outline work.
I work 30 hour weeks at my day job, works out to six hours a day with change. Then I spend wherever between 0 and 10 hours extra working on my private initiatives.

Define working – is it precise work or sitting at laptop on standby not getting paid for sitting?
Monday I did ~3 hours of precise (paid) work, yesterday ~2.5 hours, final Friday ~3.5 hours (although a few of that at very sluggish tempo ready for sluggish server).
|

Lots!
If contemplating what’s known as “Deep work” solely. Then 3-4 hours max. Otherwise, complete day.
AI has undoubtedly helped me save my time debugging points. Otherwise, there was no improve in stress. Rather, I’ve stopped getting ready onerous for interviews.
|
|
|
|
4-8 hrs/day relying on load. Not affected by layoffs apart from an uptick in freelance gigs. Not utilizing AI, doubt it could save any time.
|
|
|
|
6h30 to 8h a day (that is 37h a week for me). I like my job and I’ve enjoyable however It’s nonetheless to a lot for me. I’m wanting into a 4 days week sort of contract.
