Yeah he said half and every time he said that I cringed. 1% is overly optimistic.

The trouble is that tech has been through periods of doom like this many times before. The tech crash in 2000/2001 was meant to be the end. Outsourcing to India was meant to be the end after that, and before both "visual coding" tools were meant to make it so that "everyone can learn how to program, no programmers needed!". Hell, even the move from assembly to high level programming languages (like C) were said at the time to make programmers redundant. Might this time be different? It's possible, but the boy has cried wolf many times before, and those of us who have actually studied the history of our profession realise that there will always need to be someone to take the squishy human requirements and turn them into precise instructions for the machines. It's much like accounting: that was a profession that was meant to be killed off by Excel, yet there are still accountants raking it in.

As a dev myself, I have come to the conclusion that out there is a generally accepted myth that someone actually knows what they want while, in my experience of 4 years as a developer, it is quite rare that requirements are more than some basic user stories. Many a time there even isn't a user story apart from some vague expectation. Furthermore, even if the requirements are thorough, often they don't have "reality" in mind. For example, it is not hard to add a new component that supports a wanted feature but it is hard to devise a plan to replace all instances of the old component which is reused all throughout code base, not to mention the fact that sometimes this can introduce nightmare regression. And AI is having a really hard time to invent new solutions, implement complex patterns unto complex systems. These are things that humans will continue to do for quite some time in my opinion.

it's been the same story for all of history... people insist the new tech is going to make XYZ redundant. it's not that capacity remains the same and demand for work goes down... it's that new tech simply raises the capacity. the demand for work is the same, because that new 'capacity' is exploited. we're ALWAYS going to push for maximum exploitation of labour because it benefits people. did the printing press make all those monks writing out bibles obsolete? no, they probably just went on to use their skills or natural abilities in other things - faster and more productive cos of the printing press. even IF ai stuff replaced coders, people who have the personality traits of coders will just find a new avenue. training, modifying, building these AI tools... or just using them to be more productive coders. etc etc etc and round and round it goes.

I work at a big tech co in the Bay Area and interview for software dev roles.. While there may be more coders.. It’s actually quite rare to find people that can problem solve, analyze, and code well. These skills are rare and highly valued.. and I don’t see that changing

Why did he get arrested

My background is in mechanical engineering/manufacturing. What I find interesting, is that a lot of people from different fields are now able to code. I dont know if they added coding to a lot of university programs, or maybe the access to Udemy etc, but people like architects, engineers, chemistry, math, physics majors coming out now are all able to code at very high levels. These people are using code to create brand-new types of applications that are industry-specific. For example physics simulations, machine vision, specialized business software etc. This would be very hard for a normal coder to do, as they do not have the industry knowledge or education to understand the underlying problem. I dont think coding is dead, but i think people who used to "just" specialize in code will be less needed. Coders in the future will need to have a lot more skills than just coding as it will branch out and before more specialized. Coders at big companies will also have to know software architecture more, as a lot of work of coding will be outsources / done by AI and the job of the software engineer will be more like a product / project manager to oversee the team.

At least where I live coding has been added to most university programs. People in science (maths, physics, chemistry) have mandatory programming classes (not just coding). I got some friends who went on studying maths - some ended up hating programming, but some loved it and now work as programmers. My business major (information systems) also has 2 mandatory semesters of programming and there are electives to have more of it. But also CS is much more than coding and people who study CS don't do it for coding, they do it for the "Science" part of it. Deep understanding of how computers work, memory management, algorithms, and stuff like that to then apply the knowledge in fields like ML for example. No one studies CS to become webdev.

Your ad placement is so satirically funny, excellent job Tech Lead 😎😎😎😎

ty for this video iv been trying to tell this to my friends for a while

The main reason behind what's happening is the need for more coders and not less, the middle management layers in companies that raised a lot in the past decades proved that those people partially doing nothing and they end up being out. Coding is increasing not decreasing, every little device, city, gov, business ..etc needs software that's if we exclude the software for the hardware devices. And the charts you showed tell the story, the peak of IT jobs was in 2020-2022 (the pandemic era). During this period every tiny business wanted software in developed and developing countries, giving you example in my country Syria, people still relied heavily on traditional tools in many businesses, but when the pandemic hit, suddenly everyone wanted cloud software immediately so they hired (1, 2, 5, 10 ..) just get it so quickly. The same for tech giants, they wanted to deliver new solutions for the remote work sector in record time, they hired an army of people, then that amount of work was no longer there, so they decided to start making layoffs, that's because simply the pandemic era was not normal and now things are getting to the norm.

Where did you go Techlead? Come back

thanks for the information... Enjoyed the video

We need some person - out of the desert - who spent decades there learning assembly, basic, cobol, c, c++, java..... and finally rust - to deliver us from the wix oblivion. Just think of sandstorms, people with cool long hair, people who accept the homeless and destitute. But on a more serious note, I think there will always be some need for coding, who can construct a process and then implement it. There are millions of ideas out there! And many process to implement too! The TechLead offers sage advice however, in that time is not going to rewind 5, 10 or 20 years. Learn coding but learn something else! Or learn 3 or 4 'something else' !

I am outsourced software engineer working for big US company, my American coworkers 99% of them are completely useless and don't provide any value or do any real work yet take 10 times my salary. I understand this layoffs, companies just cut budgets, coding is not dead, it's just companies want to hire only senior software engineers. It's the same how women want only 10% of men, if you can become top 10% engineer, you will be in high demand. That's how the market is currently, it is what it is.
