what do you think of Ben Awad who is coding the next billion dollar app gaming company? Isn't it the fact that coding isn't the thing but rather coding + creativity can get you somewhere?
@@mohammadanwar9848 Because of AI only creativity will matter in a few years.
Are you getting a free house in Japan yet? Has Japan offered you a job yet to get you to move back there? You’re a Japanese American who managed to produce an offspring. They should pay you just to live there and have ten kids.

He is not a millionaire anymore. He spent it all on his wife though.
Yeah, techlead is clickbaity

“I quit coding but make sure to go to my website. “ Dude. WTF?
AI Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
Mind if I ask you recommend this particular professional you use their service? i have quite a lot of marketing problems
When I was around 10 in 1983 I realized I wanted to be a programmer, not because I wanted to be rich but to create something. I looked at it as my own Lego set where the possibilities were endless. Now I still feel this way. We are creators where the building blocks change over time and we have to adapt to it. I must admit that I feel a little threatened by AI but at the end of the day what we do isn't just coding, which is easy, but creating, solving problems, giving advise to customers.
That Lego set is still there. Please don't be dismayed by this man who has lost his edge.
Better tools abstract the mundane steps to help us better actualize out creative endevors.
It is much easier than that: the golden age of the IT field was largely due to enormous financial bubbles created by free money with negative interest rates. Once the financial bubble bursts, IT jobs disappear, leaving countless unemployed individuals and resulting in low salaries. This is what is happening now.
I was blue collar worker for most of my life and started to learn smth to transition to white collar. But it seems, blue collar will soon take over anyway :D
Diffrent title: Being useful isn't paying well - so stop being useful

I think that the guy was so gready that for what looks like success to him most people call lack of dignity
Coding career is tough. When you have a critical bug and all the eyes are on you to resolve it, you simply don't sleep until that problem is solved....and sometimes it's not obvious to solve that problem and that's why you get paid the big bucks in exchange for your sleep.
The real world has no more resources to support industry to grow exponentially. Nearly all things are monetized, including people's time and perception (sight, hearing, touching, emotion), that are invaded by ads, tweets, shorts, videos, games. The economy just hit phisical limit of nature, and that's why big company closed source to monopolize profit, there is no way to get a big growth and no good oppertunity for normal people.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." -Robert A. Heinlein

Chat GPT is probably the juiciest target for governments. For years they could not use most of the data they collected because of the sheer volume and lack of ability to get context or motives. But now every employee who's using it to rewrite a sensitive email or product pitch or apology by a government official to his wife is now all available in one centralized place. I don't expect ChatGPT to be trusted in the future when the full vulnerability of it to nation state actors becomes more apparent.
Am I wrong?
The evolution of software dev Is software 2.0. Coding and programmers Will evolve not replaced.
I was a programmer before Techlead was probably even born, lol, but was always behind the bleeding edge in my career and always chasing the latest and greatest in trends. As soon as I'd get a job in it, there would be lots of other technologies taking off somewhere else ahead of me. I knew of people a little older than me who were one of the first COBOL programmers and were making the big bucks and getting corner offices just for coding in COBOL, so it's all about riding the wave of the latest hotness like the FANG companies are doing now. Coding didn't start with FANG. Also, since I've been programming, there was always some tool coming out to replace the programmer, but it never seemed to happen, coding languages just evolved.
Thank you for sharing these insights!!! I have to say as a web developer I am a little concerned, as I see a lot of people using AI tools to code and basically we are getting faster, but maybe also more lazy and not as sharp, since we use tools to do OUR job. Idk!
This is true, but by the time you know where the next trend is going you're behind. I remember when TCL/TK was hot, when PHP was hot, when Flash was hot, when Ruby was hot. I know it took me by surprise when Python became top dog. How long will Python remain at the top?
I think its about risk...if you are programming, its just a skill , you are just taking instructions....and if you are chasing trends ...you are not bearing risk...you can't expect to make it big...its just econmics and capital markets
@@mirijekayis347 As a programmer you could use AI tools yourself to be ahead of those others who don't understand coding. You could be more productive and/or creative with that tools so you are still wanted and get your money out of it instead of being replaced, I think.
It anin't ever gonna happen. Tools will just get better. AI is just a better tool.
Not much to argue with here. Most of the important work in programming has been done already and we're in the realm of diminishing returns on effort to create new APIs and such. Even in industries where there's frequently a lot of new product, like video games, most of the code is already written and all you have left of "programming" is scripters writing game or glue logic. The only real programmers left are the handful who work on maintaining existing massive APIs like Unreal. Everyone else just licenses the tech and doesn't hire real programmers.
The biggest misnomer is that anybody can enter the IT industry and succeed. The industry is competitive, difficult, and dynamic. If a person does not have a genuine interest, they will burn out quickly.
Can you make this video again please, but as a millionaire instead of just as an ex-Google programmer?
Lots of programmers are still making a ton of money out there. Sure it's not a gold rush anymore, but to say it's dying and a dead-end job with no money is out-of-touch and insane. 100s of hours of leetcode for a 75k job? What planet does this guy live on? Most people I know who have done this much leetcode make 300-500k. TechLead is basically saying here that all doctors do is give a diagnosis, and that everything that isn't related to content creation or air pods is garbage. Seriously what has he been smoking. Making crazy statements like "programmers should never have gotten this far", when the most valuable companies in the world are software companies. Why spread so much misinformation and narrow view of the world.
Don't take what TechLead says so literally. He's just a CZcams content creator/influencer who is skilled at creating engaging content that triggers unconscious and conscious reactions in the brains of people. In the digital age, content is king. Whether the content is right or wrong is a different debate.
You quit because grifting is much more profitable
I'm a programmer and as far as I know the software engineering industry is gonna grow exponentially, let not some CZcamsr looking for following mislead you, the app development market is still hot. It's just your thought that limits you. And besides alot of the corners of software engineering are so untouched...
Think of robotics, quantum computing, etc...
That's exactly true. Nobody should listen to this fraudster.
Yeah Africa is a gold mine for robotics, ChatGPT doesn't execute in the real world and man does. High quality low cost tech is in high demand.
Lol yeah can’t tell if this video is sarcastic humor or not
@@pjf7044 you must be new around here
Listen techlead. I see a lot of myself in you. You seem to be going through tough times.
My advice is that you stop indulging in your nihilism. Been there done that…
As for what you want to do. Stop after chasing money. This strategy never works on the long run.
Just focus on something you enjoy and in which you provide excellence. You are a smart man, so you can easily strive to be the best.
"Humans are easily fooled by hope...(religion)
And randomness. " (cable television and porn. )
That's the coolest statement I've heard in years...
I believe that most software engineering jobs have been make-work jobs for a very long time now. Meaning... they are totally unnecessary to the business that hires them and were just there to burn through investment money and justify large managerial salaries. Now the money is tight and the rug has been pulled out from under the profession. As for apps... they are unnecessary expenses in a time of nascent poverty. The big hope of "coding" to bring people out of poverty and into a middle class life... is mostly over. All IMHO.
Any job that pays 75K or more I can't consider a bad one.
I was never interested in coding apps for other people, I use programming to write tools for myself, for example to support my research in theoretical computer science. This is a lot of fun and very useful. In general, I think it is a bad decision to do what you do mostly for money but not out of interest. Also, most math professors love what they do, most people working in industry, do not.
This, people want to learn programming for money, that's not bad but learning programming to support your life, it's way better. Also, there are better (and more profitable) ways to make money than programming.
This seems like where programming will go. All those ML models are heavily reliant on huge quantities of accurate, clean data. So data manipulation and curation is the next big thing in programming.
Same, I'm a maker, and I use my (limited) skills to supplement my projects.
same. i am writing advanced maths tools mostly for analysis for myself.
when as a middle age programmer you first hear about Roblox from a 6 year old, you know you have to move on...
It still hard to find in these days a qualified eletrician, or a stone mason, a pipeliner or whatever. Compromissed people are rare to find even in the most simple labors/services. U can still make the difference doing whatever u've been doing.
Fascinating content. Ty
I got out of programming and became Enterprise Architect / Solution Architect because programming jobs are being outsourced over seas
11:51, I 100% agree.
Programmer here, doing entrepreneurship for the bucks. I think the difference with coder -> entrepreneur between now and then is that now you need to get into business management, design, marketing and sales. Which means you need to learn psychology and statistics / data science.
Although knowing coding really helps automating processes and gives you a birds eye view on the product you're building.
Photography and videography did not die out because of high demand for visual and video content.
There no profession in history that flooded you with money. Since ever entrepreneurs made the money. If it happened for you to be one in the past with software engineering skills then even better. But software engineers that made millions where entrepreneur first. What's changing now is that in order to build something big you need a team. Who has best social skills wins. As always been
Remember my friend the rule of thumb in business: the boss (or house) gets 3x your salary in value. One-third goes to the boss as profit, one-third pays for your overhead, and one-third is your salary. So if boss is paying you $200k a year in salary, he's actually getting $600k in value (or more) from you. And if he/she is not, you might want to update your resume...
well at the end of the day its sales. ppl like buying stuff from ppl they like
Being an entrepreneur is having a team (employees).
Whether ChatGPT or other AI models are capable enough or gimmickry is a whole other debate. In my observation, they are quite useful while learning a new programming language or a framework or procedure library. They are excellent at explaining medium-size codes (below 200 lines after which they will reject the input). They are reasonably good at generating small code samples for someone since the user will have to modify the code in any way. People are not using ChatGPT that much very recently. How many of us want to work all day to learn, read, observe etc.? People want entertainment. Ultimately, people will spend the remaining time they have on Facebook, after a day-long work. They'll watch CZcams videos, Snapchat short videos, and TikTok dances. Mindless scrolling relieves our frustrations and boredom with our daily repetitive experiences. Even after getting banned, there are some new ebook websites still operational. Those places are helping students so much. Without them, students would find a hard time getting the quality information needed to complete their courses. However, how many of us visit those sites to download books? Even if some of us do, how many such people bother reading what they've downloaded? I'm not an exception. Although, I try my best to use what I download. People have limited time. On top of that, so many aspects of modern life make people impatient, anxious, worried and what's not. Many professions are already dead for years, and it is totally unrelated to the AI revolution. Agriculture, food, medicine, infrastructure development, and alternative sources of energy are a few noteworthy fields with prospects to flourish. After ten years, the world will be a completely different place that will change how people work forever. AI will not overtake humanity. AI will accelerate the revolution. Many people will slowly lose their jobs so they will have to diversify their fields of work. As for software development, maintainers will be required. Programming will be a common part of the school/college curriculum. Some schools are already teaching C++ in the ninth standard.
Explaiend with excellence
Underappreciated comment, thanks for writing out your thoughts so eloquently!
@pinaki u r sooo short sighted if u don't think that code maintenance can be done by gpt5 then I highly doubt ur intelligence level or understanding of coding.
What are the new ebook websites ? Asking for a student 😊
You are all over the place.
Why don’t you just do something you love instead of wasting your life doing things you don’t for money ?
8:17 Oh my Goodness he nailed it!
I went to college from 2004 to 2009 and got a Degree and a Minor too, then I did some “ finding myself” for a few years then went to school again for IT in 2011, luckily I went on a study abroad to Japan.
Supposed have been for 9 months but I hit the ground running failed two classes but found work and a wife and got a job at start up using some web application for kids I slapped together while teaching, they gave me some school to manage and then a few thousands to start my own school.
I bring in less than a teacher in America but I got experience of opening and managing a brand.
I’ll be poor but I think I’ll be a poor person’s leader lol.
It’s a blood bath out there!
If you didn’t get good connections growing up or from school are talented and lucky
It’s just drudgery and depression.
For me it’s drudgery minus depression 😅
Moral of the story : get out of coding as soon as possible.
CZcams channels that do just "ultra graphics" game engine footage without any commentary definitely aren't getting hundreds of thousands of views. Even Digital Dreams, one of the most popular channels in the genre and featured on this video, typically only gets maybe 20-30 thousand views on their videos. Pretty graphics are nice, but people want to watch other people. It's just how humans are built.
They used to pay switchboard operators but now everyone is one and we are getting billed instead.
Honestly as someone learning to code now, I’m not looking to be a millionaire from it or even close. I’m just looking to get out a Shitty paying and into a career path on something I like. I’ll take 70-100k without hesitation, way more than I’m making now.
This is probably the most sagacious video I’ve ever watched 👍👍👍
Why bro , Why ? As a Millionaire this Guy gave up on Coding. He needs a Major Paradigm Shift. We the Coders will never give up on Coding. We will come back bigger and stronger and as a Millionaire.
Shrinking the market lol
Exactly

Op: Why I quit coding
Audience: Because you can not
Going back to school for my 2nd degree in social work. The IT job reqs for intro positions are insane. AI can spit out more code in a second than I could type in an hour.
I quit social work and went back into coding 😂 but I've only ever worked freelance cos I found 9-5 development jobs soul-crushing
Patrick, you are my hero.
I think the reason we're not seeing big viral apps lately is because the space has become more decentralized over time. Although there's still big tech assets which don't have APIs currently, theres still lots of integration between disparate entities which has developed over the last decade. This allows firms more opportunity to focus on specific niches without having to duplicate a specific competency that another player already has enabled and can be integrated with. So, I think we're still seeing the overall industry grow rapidly, but with a larger number of smaller and more focused entities within it. And those types of firms aren't going to go viral usually.
It feels like there's fewer moonshots in tech, but with AI gaining relevance, purpose, and intelligence, there's a whole new greenfield space to capitalize in with software. AI is still extremely limited in what it can do, and a big factor in enabling it's potential will be unlocked with integrations alone.
I do agree with the significance of the "Social Media OS". Social media is in many respects the central place for the internet. Most people check their social media more than any other digital platform throughout the day. You want to be where your target audience already is, so it makes sense to build within and around social media.
Guy crushed my dreams in 10 minutes.
If you are talking about public consumer end, probably. But there are tons of programming jobs in the business backend and operation side. Software development is not just looking into the FANG dimension where the general mass is their main target.
Moreover, consumers are difficult to deal with and are poor, mostly.
The money is made in enterprises.
I learned to program to build my own business. And I love solving problems. Don't get distracted.
Now that you stopped coding, I can finally come up with my new framework.
I still don’t get how people who go to a 3 month coding boot camp can get a job making 100-200k / year. An engineering manager in a traditional field does not get paid that much
Not everyone can be a content creator, people need to consume the content.
There's probably money in that...like peanuts. Reminds me when I lived in LA and I was asked to join a "focus group" that would pay you a small amount of money to sample something...I never went, was too busy making coin. Now that I'm retired I would go.
other content creators
Is it just me or anyone got dizzy watching this video? I was half-way of the video when I noticed why. The camera keeps zooms-in and zooms-out automatically like it was refocusing. 😵💫😵💫😵💫
I can relate. I’ve worked in software development in the medical devices industry for decades, and I recently retired early and moved to Asia with my wife and child. I think I left the field at the right time as many of our jobs were going to overseas workers who get paid less than us Americans. The work is still there, there are many more developers, but they are mostly now overseas in South Asia.
Wow. I was going to school do be a CRNA but I was really considering being a SD because the birth of only baby recently for some “pros” of a SD
Great humor sprinkled in with actual useful advice. Love it
Yes, I´m refactoring legacy code on maintenance mode. 😄
So the main message is "learn what the users are doing". I mean, it supposed to he one of the main things to learn right?
I love this guy! He keeps me so fuc**** entertained.
It's created for poor people 😊
As a millionaire, I’m extremely miserable…
I've personally never really looked at being a coder as "the" job. More like it's part of what I enjoy doing; making things; solving interesting problems. I suppose that's why I don't view machine learning as a threat. Just another tool to learn and leverage. If I were to give my kids advise on a career to pursue, I'd tell them not to even think about "careers". Just pursue what you think will be valuable to you and to the most people in the market. Ideally it's something most other people don't want to do so there's actual value. Who knows what that'll be in the coming years. Not really wise to put your eggs in one basket. Better to follow tech leads in the industry you're interested in and work on things you are passionate about. Keep the challenge going.
yeah but ppl have become entitled. I have a degree so i should have a job.
This is sound advice, Thanks
@@takoflame4948 its not their fault as individuals tho.. that was fed to them from a young age, and they were bombarded witj advertisement and false stories about what their life's path would look like if they did x or y or z. Of course they could have thought outside the box but everyone is just so worried about if they will even get a job that its rly just a minority of people who can do that compared to the rest.
And to be fair in a near future most jobs wont be safe so i simpathize with them.
If you like to solve interesting problems... that's great. Will you still like it when ML can do it better than you, and your activity virtually has no more value? I graduated in AI in 2003. Done Java, Python, quite a bit of frontend... there are very little 'interesting' problems to me other than custom shaders, neural network architectures (the things you don't find on StackOverflow), the rest is plain business logic, keeping up to date with programming paradigms (OOP to functional) and learning frameworks. I don't consider it real programming. Also the communities are so volatile (jumping from one to the other), changing their mind just to make up for their own flaws.
I've stopped programming some time ago, there are other interesting functions in IT. However, as pointed out by the TechLead, AI might be the exception. Not claiming to be able to able to code, train and deploy GPT like networks, but I do believe that with some creativity interesting products/services can still be made (based on efforts by Google, Facebook, Berkeley University e.a.). Transfer learning methods/downstream tasks...
Too many people claiming to be programmers, and to be 'in' tech whilst doing stuff that can be taught to an 8 year old.
I do agree with you about following your passion, and especially to keep the challenge going, we'll definitely have to. Not to optimistic though, when AI improves in terms of usability (cf Sam Altman's remarks on ChatGPT), I don't think we'll need a lot of analysts neither.
@@remedytee I have the strong inclination to write several paragraphs in response to this, lol. I don't know what the future holds, but I do remember Y2K. A whole lot of tech-oriented fear for next to no payoff. I think the best thing we can do is not buy into the fear and just take the information we gain for what it is.
07:23 - the new model
I think there’s success potential in being “1 degree away” from direct coding. For example, after coding for 20 years I am trying to be a software auditor/PM: A nontechnical company would hire me as an advocate for them between themselves and another technical firm they are hiring to do some work for them, and my responsibilities would include code reviews, recommendations to both sides, and writing reports. Without 20 years+ of coding, I wouldn’t be able to do that work
Couldn't you start an internship at an auditing company and start your career there? Is 20 years as a software developer the only way?
@@bonenintomatensaus I’m sure it can be done with less “time in service.” But there’s a reason why most people in the functional-language space are seniors, for example. They all learned the hard way that that’s the best way to write code (in terms of bug frequency, testability, maintainability etc.) Remarkably, there’s scant empirical evidence to support this, however. If I ever make a ton of money again, I will absolutely fund some research there
But yes, you could be a very good code auditor with less time, assuming that time was spent pretty intensely. A lot of the pieces about why certain coding forms are “way less than ideal” unfortunately only come from lots of experience, however
@@bonenintomatensaus what I'm saying, though, is that if you are tired of coding as a career, "code-adjacent" careers exist, which are potentially even more lucrative.
For example, I can’t explain the joy at making the leader of another coding team stutter in self-defense as I asked calm but pointed questions as to why they were jerking around my friend, who was employing them at the time, but who I knew they were also bullshitting and milking for cash. They were literally unable to bullshit me, and this was worth money to my friend, who happily paid me for being able to “talk the talk” that he could not.
Why choosing to be programmer is tied to going viral or making money by coding is dependent on google and Facebook never going to be released APIs? Who said programming is only putting apps in app stores? There is tons of business specific applications, custom personalized apps, IoT apps, automation apps, surveillance apps and tens more. If you feel your career path is ended or at least you feel overwhelmed, you can't put "dead" or "ended" on it.
I have around 20 years of career left. I would be happy to spend the rest of it as a software repair man with a decent living wage. I don't need yachts, trips to five star hotels, expensive cars - just a stable job with minimal stress and remote work.
1. The premise that college is not valuable because more people have access to it is wrong. By your logic, “everyone” graduates elementary and high school, thus these are less valuable, so why bother going to school at all? 2. Not everyone’s goal is to become materially wealthy. Some of us are out here developing software to be of service to humanity, and that is more valuable and brings more happiness than money. 3. AI is still so bad at programming, it can’t even replace the most green developer out there. I am grateful to have a college degree, because I learned to see a large, long term, multi-year project through from start to finish. I am grateful to be a developer, because my skills are needed now more than ever, and I can actually build useful things for humanity, not just things that make a few people wealthy.
Great advice man, we will wait for you to start working as a waiter or truck driver. You walk your talk right ?
The problem is you got into programming for the money, glory and ego, not for love of the craft. Anyone who does things for those reasons will be unhappy no matter what.
I always had an issue with focussing. I started maybe 30 projects and completed non. I see it similar to you. I would not call myself a winner with all the rubbish in my head :-) It's hard to learn each year a new framework or whatever is just coming up. Anyway, with your level of knowhow, I would not quit coding. You came so far and now is the time to leverage this potential.
I am an Elec. Engineer - great career (26 years so far...)
I think we may be entering an entrepreneurial epoch. Someone wanting to do ecommerce with Shopify, for example, isn't going to want to mess around with something like ChatGPT, but a human freelancer or entrepreneur who works with the Shopify store owner could use something like ChatGPT to streamline their processes. With that said, people wanting to get a traditional job working for a corporation is going to face a lot of competition to be part of that small group of developers who oversee what something like ChatGPT is doing, and even they are going to be just quality assurance employees.
EVERYONE'S still fighting about what language to use? just use C++, kill bugs & take forever
if I have learned anything... anything at all (sips water) its that all the books i've read on leadership, sales, marketing, phycology, etc.. it all points to one thing that will never die. PEOPLE. You have to be good with people and as long as there are introverts and shy, passive people then jobs like sales, marketing, and connecting with others will always be there. not everyone wants an AI in there face when trying to ask questions.
Rayo, look in the mirror. Are you attractive? All the sales people in pharma, for example, are intelligent, persuasive, articulate ... and drop dead gorgeous women. The clients are often dirty old men. Coincidence? And people people are often party animals, that WeWork guy Adam N* comes to mind. But you're right tho... sales is lucrative.

Hello.
The timing of the massive layoffs in tech industry. Coincides with the release of a.i.
And these companies realize and know they won't be needing so many employees.
Fax
Good luck.
your view might actually be valid, considering there are a LOT of bad programmers (and sadly MANY bloated frameworks) today.
so, my calculation would roughly be:
[number of coders in the near future] = [number of coders before all the "web stack" stuff] < [number of all the node developers today]
i'd also kinda bet AI to massively rewrite bad code to optimize existing apps / frameworks / stacks / bloat.
I'll tell you one thing: I expect AI generated art will boom and bust pretty quickly. I think there will be a new search for meaning and aithenticity, especially for young people. As you said, some have already toiled a lot for no payout. There was a time when we didn't have any of this stuff. And you know what? Life was better.
I love the video, but can you please disconnect your camera from your desk. The constant focusing because your bumping into the desk is highly distracting
Love the positive enegy 😂😂

@TechLead: Traditional telecoms is going the same way.
You got it backwards. No one is a photographer these days because EVERYONE is a photographer.
That’s the point!
@@awabaca…but he didn't say it cool like Yogi Berra would. 😄
Also, I think it is important to specifically mention that basically everyone is a photographer today, because not everyone is a coder / programmer today. The iPhone 4 to Photography is not the same as ChatGPT 4 to programming.
Even if AI becomes so powerful that you could simply say, "Build me a new app store", how many people are going to want to do that? Most people enjoy taking pictures. It's almost instinctive to show off cool photos. It's not the same with programming. It takes a certain mindset to solve technical problems - even with advanced software tools.
Perhaps society made a mistake to idolize coding, like it was a panacea profession, but that's not why I learned to code anyway. The Internet killed my chosen profession, so I started building websites… way before it was trendy.
And when everyone is a photographer, no one will be.

@@-eggsy That's when it hit! I saw that movie and instantly knew that's exactly what happened to my career. I mentioned Syndrome / The Incredibles at the start of my Photography playlist. 😄
If you are a regular developer with mild ambition (me), this video isn't for you. His hidden premise is that everybody wants to become millionaires at all cost. That's simply wrong.
If you want to earn an exceptional income, for whatever reason motivates you - there are really only two paths. Sales or entrepreneurship....

Remind me a little bit of everybody saying personal computers were just a fad and wouldn't go anywhere. Be careful making predictions about what Will and will not succeed.
He's correct, but I'd like to understand the reason. We are currently entering a new era of technological advancements, transitioning from manual to digital methods. This is similar to the impact of the typewriter, which led to the creation of professional typist jobs. However, when word processors emerged, everyone could type for themselves, and the typist profession disappeared.
The same applies to app developers today. With the rise of no-code platforms and artificial intelligence, anyone can create an app, making the coding profession less significant. Moreover, the technology boom has come to an end. Tech startups are going bankrupt, and non-tech corporations never required a large number of developers to begin with.
Web is not the only space where programmers are needed. There many other fields, like industrial automation, aerospace, bio medical equipment, defense, space satellite, automotive, agriculture, government and so many other, in fact there might be handful fields where software does not exists in any form. Software development didn't start with internet, and social media. For all other industries programmers will still be needed to maintain or enhancing the functionality.
It won't save us, true, but it will definitely help us.
"No one wants to be a photographer" Ya sure about that?!
I don't know if you read these comments, but you hit some serial nails on the head, and I think this is what distinguishes your channel. You're honest, brutally honest, in a way a good friend or parent would be. In this case, you seem to understand young adults are struggling and you're candid about top earners, something everyone wishes to be.
Can you make a video on how to position yourself best for the future, on how to orient yourself towards making an enterpreneur? How do you recognize trends, how do you jump on them? How do you become independent?
Thanks for your content!

Why are you always chassing fame and money ? A life driven by interests, by curiosity, is better than a one driven by fame, glory, money and ego. Popularity do not make people happier.
There's a big difference between a Computer Scientist and a Programmer. AI can replace programmers but AI can only be created by good Computer Scientists. This is something most people even tech companies have failed to appreciate and understand. Android SDK I am looking at you.
Just wait until the model has a turning nervous system and memory. This is coming.
The vast majority of office work is going to be done by AI. Society has to change to support the swathes of underskilled, unemployable people. The safest industries are technicians imo. Electricians, plumbers, builders, these jobs cant be done by AI until they have cheap enough robotics, which is still far enough away. The irony that the blue collar worker will be safe and sound whilst the white collar workers suffers in poverty is too much.
The only problem is that technicians tend to get pigeon-holed into 5 year limited jobs with no career path …ergo they are streamlined for ‘easy hiring and firing’ because most people won’t be expected to stay at them more than 5 years …and the ones that do will get muscles out
ergo companies try to underman by hiring at the lowest pay, lowest rank, then either keeping them at the lowest pay as long as possible, creating high turnover, or giving regular raises until they max out then find reasons to let them go or force them to quit
It’s interesting that you noted the swaths of unskilled unemployables …no one else seems to ‘get that’ reality
They assume that PhDs will take care of everything but the reality is our PhD students have been dumbed down and spoiled and they don’t want to work and they don’t know how to work
The big topic is climate industry but it’s embarrassing how many numb nuts masters and PhDs we have that can’t and won’t use a measuring cup or take a proper sample or adhere to lab rules
@@searchindex3438 You could be a local self-employed technician and earn a decent wage, be part of the local community and all that. I see it as quite a tempting career.
@@CB-sf9mx if you wanna be work as technician actually being self-employed is the only way worth persuing. Still... it's not even middle class type of life.
