@hukse.

graduated 9 months ago as a software engineer and still not a single internship or job secured :/

Welcome to the artist's world.

@roman_v_code

I think the biggest mistake many non-tech people do is to think that writing a code IS the job. And then we see how people panic after getting another unexpected AWS bill. Or cannot get AI to make requested changes and they stuck. I am really curious to see how all AI-driven project will feel in 2-3 years when the pile of bad code decision will kick in fully

@frazzlejay

Software Engineers flooded because of the salaries and stability. Time and time again I'm hearing of people just not enjoying the roles, the stress, learnings etc and ending up not enjoying the career and then either trying to find something else or ultimately moving out of the space completely. It wasn't the cool trendy job in the past and was regarded as the goblin basement desk job. Lots of factors ended up making this role like gold and many people ended up going this route for quick money. I don't blame them, who wouldn't pursue a 6 month bootcamp and land up in an easy 5-6 figure job pre-covid?

Unfortunately along with AI in the space I think we are seeing a self correction. You are right, in a few years, maybe everything will be ay okay.

Just anyone advocating the SE role please don't sugar coat it, not everyone is suited for everything. Push for people to find their passion and pursue it. We don't live long on this earth and rather find something you are proud of and not go for something that you may regret. Tomorrow might be your last, try and make today fulfilling.

Loving your content, also i use to live in Montreal and your video style reminds me of fond times. Cheers !

The layoffs that happens to most tech companies are due to overhiring during the pandemic and the shift in economic conditions. So the "exponential" growth from the begining appears to be temporary.
‎
‎For the AI part, entry-level software developers who does mainly CRUD apps seems to be affected by LLMS because of the repetitiveness of their tasks and the low complexity. Plus, seniors use these LLMS to do the repetitive work, so if a software developer's skills are mostly repetitive and can't build complex systems, he will be affected.
‎
‎"AI will replace us in the next year's or months" — to be honest, I don't think any LLM right now is capable of making whole robuste systems, or even handling simple visual debugging tasks like CSS. AI will get better, that’s for sure, but replacing good software engineers in a short span? I'm totally confident that it will not.
‎
‎What I'm totally confident about is that an extensive usage of LLMS will shrink software engineers' critical thinking, and we'll enxup with even poorer quality softwares in the future.
‎
‎My perspective is that for an entry-level software engineer, he should build a good foundation of the basics and fundamentals, then build things by himself without relying on LLMS — to reinforce his critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Then include LLMS gradually, while being aware that the more it's used, the more the mind's problem-solving shrinks — which means developing an awareness of how much AI is not that dangerous, in order to stay skilled in writing code and solving problems.

You earned my subscribe! Incredible story telling and natural scene transitions.

@milutinke

Man you have some seriously good editing skills. Keep it up!

@BlazeGrid

I once read that AI won't replace designers and developers. It will expose who knows what good design and development really is through their experience.

@yoimdiego

great video as always man, your editing skills are on high level now

@samuellaplante190

This guy gaslighting us he is a dev… he is in fact an amazing youtube content creator!! 🎉

@Wolmaazchick

Are you sure you're a software developer? It feels like you were made for filmmaking.

@АкботаБакыт-ф9м

I love your videos💛 interesting and calm✨

@tanyago5675

I’m a self-taught dev who spent nearly 2 years to learn my tech stack. I also know backend and can write basic APIs, it took me 14 months to land my first and only job for now. And even though it took so long, I was still extremely lucky to get it. I survived first wave of layoff, however the whole project has been shut down and we all were let go. I assume considering everything that’s going on, I give it another 6 months. I truly believe you can “find a job one day”, but personally I’m so tired of sitting and waiting, applying to tens and hundreds of jobs, having 1-2 interviews per year. My life goes by and I do not gain any real life experience which is required now in order to get a job.

@omegablack24

A video sponsor! Great job Jepi

@swiftrealm

If you think a software developer's job is to solely to write code and tests - something that certain LLMs now do quite well - you must be a junior dev or not have a lot of experience. So I ask:

- Who is going to attend meetings where details are discussed?
- Who is going to make the technical decisions?
- Who is going to mentor junior devs?
- Who is going to liaison with the client when they are pissed off because the project just missed the deadline?
- Who is going to interview potential candidates?

Until AI replaces devs in all those tasks where it can learn from mistakes and not do the same thing twice or hallucinate randomly, human developers will always be necessary. Especially mid to senior devs.

@mouadrimwind8839

The main culprit as well is the fluctuating interest rates. Post pandemic they bacame very high to combat inflation, meaning investors are less likely to pour money into projects since it became expensive to borrow.

This created less job opportunities and more layoffs. If you add to that the overwhelming competition that comes from a large influx of people getting into tech from all angles , uni, bootcamps and also immigration!

Thousands of senior devs coming from all regions of the world ready to compete with local junior devs is also brutal...

@Visitor______________________v

I'm lucky to be almost a senior engineer, so i get hired. Though the job search is much tougher for me this year than 3 years ago, a lot of ghosting and rejections from companies

@CamachoForDummies

Your videos are amazing!
