Laid off ai workers are cheaper. I saw a job posting for a vibe coder, 20 bucks an hour.

I don’t believe anyone trying to hire 20 bucks an hour for vibe coders is a serious employer. You’d make more money being a barista in some cities or a substitute teacher.
Sure, but they probably aren't living in those cities. In-person $20/hr in expensive city vs remote $20/hr in cheap cost-of-living area.
It's out there. Maybe it's not serious but it is kind of a weird thing to post on multiple job boards.
