This is true. European salaries are and always have been abysmal. No amount of work life balance justifies this level of discrepancy. Is it just weak bargaining power or some systemic issue?
We are in 2025 but still exchanging doing legal red lines in Microsoft Word and exchanging them via email like its 1998. What’s going on?

Forecasts suggest that up to 10% of global GDP could be tokenised by 2030❗️
Our Co-Founder, @davemanthan, spoke to @RobinAmlot at @IBSIntelligence about what tokenisation is and how businesses can prepare for it.
10/ What do you think? Are we watching trade wars accidentally fast-track our digital financial future? Could the attempt to reassert national economic control be the very thing that undermines it?

Our Co-Founder @davemanthan discussed the implications of this with @cryptodotnews - alongside what a better approach could be.
What most people don't understand is that more bad code is open source than good code. So when someone is "vibe coding", they are effectively writing terrible code mashed together by a hallucinating LLM with an "AI" sticker.
Also considering most vibe coders are beginners, they fail to spot not only bad coding practices but also security vulnerabilities that is actively being written into their project. It is a dumpster fire fuelled by jet fuel.
Personally, AI has only helped me solve common problems. It has been a good search engine that has saved me hours having to go through stackoverflow or other forums. But as soon as I have a complex, specific problem that needs solving, none of the latest LLMs (Claude 3.7, R1, GPT 4.5) work.
And no its not about how the question was framed or prompt was created. If there is little material out there, AI hasn't been trained on it and it cannot help you.
So essentially, vibe coding is only good for putting up simple static sites that serve a very specific purpose. It gets difficult and risky as soon as you branch out into more complex setups that require a backend, an API, auth, etc. But maybe one day it will get better.
