First of all, Brad, you're looking fit man (wishing you continued good health)! Secondly, always appreciate your opinion. I discovered your channel nearly two years ago as I began my learning journey and the way you convey your message that anyone can learn to code as long as they put in the time has been tremendously helpful to me when I reach those low points in the journey. My path may not be as optimal as others (married, two kids, help run a family business), and I may not have found that first job in 3-6 months like so many are promised by the next hot bootcamp, but what I have learned, and part of that is thanks to you, is that it's not about the destination, but the journey and process of getting there. It's in the struggle that the most growth is found. I was once scared of failure, to the point I'd rather not do something, than to try and fail. Coding has broken me out of that box, and now I realize that failure is a learning opportunity that leads to growth. Thanks Brad for your videos and insight. Your perspective is needed, especially in times like these, where people are bombarded with the doom and gloom.

Thanks man, that's good to hear. I'm really glad the content could help 👍

Last year I was a developer conference, where AI was also a recurring topic. The last speaker of the day said: "If our customers can explain to the AI exactly what they want, unambiguously, then yes, we will over time lose our job." And the audience laughed. So we're good. ^^ I have fully embrazed AI (i.e. Copilot) and it makes my work go so much faster. It's not a threat, it's an opportunity! And by the way, I didn't know about your rough past. Hats off for getting out of that and achieving this amazing career! :)

Exactly! Being a developer is more than just copy and pasting code. You have to design it in line with requirements, understand it, test it, debug it and so on. Also, there are so many different parts that have to work together, tons of libraries and tools that are used and intertwined, and there is no way that LLMs can manage all of this. Not for a long time at least. And once it can, not only dev jobs will be in trouble, it will be like 99% of white collar jobs. If you are a dev that is worried that AI will take your job, then the issue is probably you, not AI, and you should consider a new position.

@@user-bq4xc2yy3m What I meant by that is that when AI has come so far it could replace most devs, it is no longer an issue specific to developers but rather a significant portion of all jobs in existence. Hopefully there are policies in place at that point to deal with the issues that we inevitably will encounter when most of the population no longer has to work. But I believe that is quite far in the future.

Great video as usual, Brad. 15+ years in this industry has proven that all the changes that will "replace developers" every few years have only created additional opportunities and led to growth in our field.

beautiful message. more power to your channel!

I saw a tweet recently saying something like "I don't need AI to do my art so that I could do stuff like dishes & chores... I wan't AI to do chores, so that I can do art" and it's spot on. We could/should use AI to do the grunt work, the "boring" stuff, like markup, or converting wireframes & design into HTML, so that we have more time for the "cool", dynamic stuff, data, functionality, etc... Edit: I wrote this comment before getting to the part where you said something similar 😃

Love your content, Brad...Your words came as a soothing relief right on my continuously growing anxiety concerning the advancement of AI and its impact on SWE. I am currently halfway through with your PHP course, and I wish you release the complementing course on Laravel REALLY soon, which you've hinted at in the PHP course's intro. You have my best wishes for you and family from Egypt.

Thank you for making this video. I really needed it. I'm happy to see you looking so healthy! 😊❤

Greatly appreciate your comments on this subject. I remember back when I was in college in the early 90s when I studied Graphic Design. Many of my professors were all the old school designers who worked in letra film and prismacolor markers and snubbed their noses at desktop publishing and computer graphics. They quickly became obsolete. I feel AI is the next stage of technology you either embrace or you'll be left behind. I'm an educator who is currently transitioning back into a role in either UX designer or Web Developer and I use AI all the time to help troubleshoot problems or stimulate creativity. Side note, I love you videos and owe a lot of what I've learned to you! I especially like your videos addressing things like impostor syndrome and self-confidence to start a coding job. Keep doing what your doing man! Thank you!

Well said and very timely! I woke up this morning in a panic as I am currently unemployed and looking for a junior developer role. So much to learn, what should I learn, and is it a waste of time because of AI. I agree all we can do is keep going since we don't really know how this is going to play out.

thank you for this video! I really needed to hear that because as a fresh self taught developer who is trying to enter current job market in mass layoffs and AI era, I'm not even sure sometimes if I chose a right path. but I try to remind myself that it was challenging for everyone at some point so I just keep going

Always a pleasure to hear you Brad! 😊

Hey thanks man I take your online courses I’m still currently in html and css I like the way you break it apart and it makes it easy for me to understand I appreciate this video I hate seeing all the click bait videos about how coding is dead and this gives true insight to what’s happening and how it will affect us but that there is still potential

Yes. As a person who has been in IT for 26 yrs, folks need to chill. A lot of ppl don't know what they talking about or understand. I am with you it gets irritating sometimes.

Immediately noticed your physical improvement! Great job!

Great insights man. It’s a hot topic these days and there are so much to say. But there is one thing for certain; telling “stop learning” to people who have the will to learn is simply ridiculous. And worse, whoever says this brings nothing to the table. We’re already in an era brings too much distraction (social media, AI driven information, streaming services etc.). if you can find the time and will to learn something, just learn it. It doesn’t matter if it’s programming or something else.

Thanks, appreciate your video content!

Great insights and view points, I see a lot of content creators leveraging this fear for their own benefit. But someone of your experience encouraging new devs to keep pushing ahead was much needed here imo. AI wont be a threat for programming in general, but people who use AI must be feared more!

Great job at getting in shape bro !

Good points! What especially jumped out at me was "just because AI can spit out a code snippet...". Exactly! We've been using code snippets for a loooong time: terms for them include "frameworks" and "libraries".🙂

Great video 👍 People who claim they understand AI, knows nothing about it all The biggest reason why I don't like tech influencers (other than the fact that most of them can't actually code properly) is because they constantly overreact to the latest technologies or tech news for clickbait just so they can pump their overpriced courses and affiliate links Even though I studied AI in video games for one of my modules at university, I still have a lot to learn with AGIs and other forms of AI I'm really excited for what future AI has to offer and how we can refine it to help our daily lives

Yep. It is to the point where I rarely watch tech content on youtube. It's all the same crap and is really uninspiring. I just do my own thing and yes my channel is not as popular as it once was, but I have no interest in clickbait, overreactions, 30 second reels, etc. That seems to be what is popular these days. I miss the days of thenewboston where long form educational content was king.

100% agree Brad, thank you brother. Glad your health is good you look better now than when I started following you 6 years ago.

Sir, you've been of great help to me, from when i started learning code (nothing) to building great staff, I am deeply humbled. words will never be enough, but thank you Sir! This is from my heart. I might never meet you in person yet because am deep in the pearl of Africa, but am a christian, so I will pray for you and your family whenever I remember this that you have done for me. Keep doing you, and being you for us, you can be sure that you are a strength for me and others.

You're the best man! Thank you for teaching so much

Finally some good and down to earth options about this! Good video! Couldn’t agree more. The more I learn to use ai tools, the more I realize they are nothing without someone making decisions about it. It does not do everything for you as some people might think, it only helps you make things faster and avoid some basic googling. Just my experience, I’m a junior dev only, but I was so discouraged about this until I started using it!

100% agree with everything you're saying here! Also want to say you're looking great bro 💪

Good topic bro...❤

please make a video on how to job as a full-stack developer, specifically remote jobs , onsite jobs and the preparation for that. and globally how to apply for job with platform example.

thanks for the video. I appreciate your opinion

I couldn't agree more! This is a solid take. Thanks for making this video!

bro, you are looking jacked! Please keep up on the health kick - it is very motivating! Also, your take on AI is very wise. thank you for all your work!

Holy smokes you've gotten in fantastic shape!

You are one of the best teachers of coding. Thanks for the insight.

As someone who writes code for clients at a consulting firm, I am not that worried about AI. My job isn't just to crank out code, it's to understand what clients want and devise a way to help them achieve their goals that is secure, scalable, maintainable, etc. I spend a ton of time just working through what exactly the desired end result is before I write a single line of code. That process requires comprehension and insight, which LLMs don't have. They can spit out boilerplate, but they don't reason about problems in the way humans do.

Thank you, Brad, your recommendation is priceless.

What a helpful video, we need more Brad Traversy 😍

You’re looking in great shape, Brad. And the video is awesome as always ❤

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts on this topic Brad. It's so easy to start panicking every time we hear any news about AI, specially about code generating tools like V0 and such so It's always good to hear someone with great experience show us a more down to earth vision.

Thank you Sir for guiding

Hey Brad have you considered doing an in-depth course on React testing with Jest? Almost all courses I see are only covering the basics.

Great video Brad, having been in the industry for nearly 20 years now, I see AI as another tool in our toolbox to help get the job done better/faster as opposed to something we need to be fearful of.

Looking well, Brad!

100%. Amen. Speaking from 20+ years of experience. I have been able to utilize AI in the ways you mentioned to accomplish what I need to faster. It has also helped me understand some things better than I thought possible as well.

Hey Brad, First of all, I wanted to thank you for your work; I look forward to spending a few hours each evening on your courses on Udemy. Before I buy a course elsewhere, I always check if you have it. My question is about "Angular Front To Back." When I bought this course, I received a message stating that it would be updated from 1/17 to 1/19. However, it still hasn't been updated. I didn’t know where to ask, so could you please tell me if I should wait for it? Thank you! Best regards

You are so good, man!

damn man Trav you looking good man. Lets goooh!!!

Thank you for this video. Hopefully it'll reach more people and they will calm themselves. I work in accounting and I am in a team that literally is fixing AI mistakes. As of today AI cannot generate a report without mistakes so developers should feel safe. I mean, reports that can COST company over 100 MIL USD. Just yesterday I was cursing AI fixing a report otherwise company I work for could've lost 96 mil USD. Accountants probably are the fist to feel advancement in technology and are constantly afraid to lose their job. I'm counting 16th year in accounting and I am so glad that a lot of processes are automated. It helps so much. I think developers who are passionate about their work will incorporate AI to their own advantage. Fun fact - as of now more and more accountants are encouraged to learn Python. So in the future, probably not only developers will have to learn coding.

thank you for this brad

Thank You Brad. Many times as am learning, i do feel as if am wasting my time, but now i'm sure its not a waste.

One of the big reasons I'm not too worried, is because like you said "tech is always innovating and progressing". When AI gets to the point of developing the new tools and they're good, that's when it should be time to worry. When new tools come out it takes time for developers to get used to them, discover best practices, fix bugs, make new patterns, and often the documentation is not great meaning it'd be a lot harder for the AI to understand how to correctly use them. It also takes time for them to be widely adopted, which would limit the amount of data for the AI to train on. I actually think it's a good thing that low level jobs will likely be replaced (coming from someone who is still looking to enter the field), because who really wants to be doing that work anyways? This may be a hot take, but it's a good filter to a degree. There's nothing wrong with getting into tech to earn money, but to want to get into tech with entry level skills to earn entry level money, and never progress just makes you a gate keeper to a degree ... and we need a lot less of that.

I love your mindset and personality, you are so right about everything you say. “AI (…) can’t have a vision or a passion or a personality (…)”. You said it all.

Yes, agreed. I see it in my junior position too, that AI only helps to some extend when it comes to Software Engineering. Secondly, even though AI can do entry level tasks quite effectively, one has to keep in mind that experienced Developers aren't going to live forever; you do have to instruct the next generation to to become experienced devs themselves.

This is the reason why i respect this channel and brad very much. Very well Explained.

Brad may be you need to do a follow up video on AI. openAI just released Sora and this for sure makes us worried. Fascinating at the quality and the progress being done in just a short time.

Bro, seriously you look fabulous!! Congratulations!!
