    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.

    oh they will and my year long stint of making a good decent amount of money isn't going to last. And that's fine, I'll be back to being an actual dev again.

    I know it's not going to last and since I'm charging a premium for what I'm doing most of it is going right towards retirement.
