I love you so much😭... I almost gave up my webdev dreams coz of the negative talk on social media. And not only did you help me get back on track but you confirmed that I was on the right path. Thankyou so much

Great vid

I just onboarded at my first job today and I sm fully self taught with no degree or BootCamp so its hard out there but if you work harder than everyone else you will win!

I was working for a company with old tech. It's a trade off work for someplace sketchy and have recent tech skills. Work for someplace stable and have old tech skills. Don't let a company eat up for free time to keep your skills current. Lesson learned for me.

As a webdev major, I had some doubts. Thanks for letting me know!

It's my understanding that during Covid, big tech hired about 900,000 people. The current layoffs to date, have cut about 90,000 or about the 10% of those hired. For now it just seems to be a rebalancing. Companies overhired, and they probably overpaid in the rush to hire people - many times from each other company. I don't have a crystal ball, but it's likely there will still be more layoffs to come over the shorter term as staffing and salary get back in sync. Nothing really to do, but keep your skillset sharp, stay flexible and have your resume ready to go.

7:00 This is key 🗝"I believe new web developers should pursue full stack web development"

What a great video! Great info, concise and doesn't feel like a sales pitch. Thank you!

Great channel guys! Just keep the content rolling!!

Trying to break into Tech? You need to pursue Fullstack web development in 2024! Well said Sir.

No one doubts that the web/software development labour market will continue to grow. However, what is the applicant per job vacancy ratio? Unfortunately that will continue to grow as well, at least here in North America.

The solution is simple. Get rid of management and upper management and the project managers and make the web developers be the managers because they're the only ones that know how all of this works.

I got laid off in June 2023 and am still looking for work in 2024. I am not seeing the upside (at least in the UK/Europe).

You promised a new blazor course for the beginning of this year :) Do you have any estimation for the release?

Waiting for your blazor course using the latest tech. .net 8 and the render modes

Totally unrelated but, have you ever thought about also doing Power Apps training? Seems like there could be corporate money in that. Just a thought :)

I was fortunate enough to land a front end role about 2 years ago. Dont see myself leaving anytime soon. Use every opportunity to grow and learn new things !

ive already spent enough time looking, being stood up by recruiters, wasting money on site hosting and more. It's to demoralizing to continue. People have different experiences. You get cancer months after staring game dev/simulations course only to transition to web etc etc. its terrible people in area. but that my experience.

And they're still saying unemployment rate is only 2%

I was part of the 7k in December

absolute genius way of promoting courses. thank you.

I am a python developer, i had in and out learning experience of 7 years, last 2 years i tried seriously looking at web developement job, i have couple of full stack projects, i even learned react a little, but here i am, over last 7 months am in search for payed internship but no luck am still uneployed, but am not losing hope tho

It was great as always, professor

Masterful delivery. I'm in finance and not looking to pivot to web development (yet?), but I still enjoy watching these videos.

Congratulations on 100k subs! 🎉🎉

I just got laid off from my non-tech job. I'm terrified of being forced to find an entry-level tech job right now, but I was way too complacent with job hunting since I started last year, so maybe it's the universe's way of getting me off my ass. Once upon a time I was addicted to coding and felt unstoppable, but I gotta admit the constant doomscrolling got to me. It seems like watching any development content on KZfaq is an easy way to constantly get demoralizing clickbait suggested to you. I appreciate the honesty and clear-headed analysis of the facts which has been rare for the last year. This dark moment for the industry will pass. If anything, it's a good wake-up call to never get complacent once you're in and to always continue to network and skill up, since even after breaking in you can always be tossed right back out.

So many people claiming to be gull stack yet seriously lack in both. You're going to be better at one... you don't have that much energy to advance both same

Hello sir Bobby do I need to learn . Net core or MVC?

Anyone saying the tech industry is dead or AI is going to replace programmers makes me wonder if they have any experience being a programmer. I did 3 years in backend and am now learning frontend which is just as complicated. No way AI is going to replace skilled developers. I am using ChatGPT more and more now and it's like a StackOverflow instructor. I ask it questions, there is a fluid conversation about code principles. That part I like! But if I tried to get it to understand the business problem I am trying to solve... it'll respond just like how my college professors would respond, "I'm not familiar with your companies application." So, use AI as a tool to understand code principles and create boilerplates. Stuff that's specific to the companies web app, best leave it to the developers to discuss and figure it out.

Full-stack Bootcamp grad, have been applying for about a year and a half with no luck, no interviews or phone screening, have had my resume looked at by many people including the people responsible for outcome in my bootcamp, I go to career fairs when I can, I’m a full stack developer like I mentioned, what am I doing wrong ?

Is html n css still important in 2024

I agree with a lot of what you said. Bootstrap recommendation I don't agree with. In a vacuum, it looks like it's the most used so obviously pick that. But when your resume goes out and it says Bootstrap as your CSS framework, there are 200 other Junior resumes saying the same thing. Tailwind is the up and coming, the one people in the industry are excited about and adoption is about half or so that of Boostrap. It also prevents websites from "looking like Bootstrap", so your projects won't look like everyone else's. It's not bad if your goal is "get in industry ASAP". But if you want to be viewed as less Junior Dev and more Dev, Tailwind would be my pick. Also, Typescript if you go the Node/JavaScript as backend route. Yeah, JavaScript is enough. But it's that same "do you want to be seen as a Junior?" situation. Typescript is just more "I'm better, because I put in more than the minimum" messaging. Also a good idea to spend half your time continuing learning and the other half applying, too. When ready to apply that is.

AI will not replace developers per se, but it will make developers more efficient, thus decrease the number of developers needed to produce the same output. It will also democratize the discipline, meaning, more people will qualify to work in the space.

Nice slhill video.. reality is I've applied to over 1000 jobs.. not even an interview. Got a couple of calls and emails but they didn't amount to anything. For every job posting there's 50-500 appliicants... and if you are a junior then forget about it😊

should i start ai or start fullstackweb?

Software development will be replaced by outsourcing and Artificial Intelligence. I was laid off recently, and I only get calls for short term contract jobs (six months or more). That's it. There will be fewer developers in 2024. The market is completely overly saturated. Yes, if you look at the countries hiring developers for cheaper, they are hiring more. But for every development position that is outsourced, that is one person who is out of a job.

Lots of jobs, I still can't seem to find one though as a senior C# developer! It is true everyone wants full stack developers. At first I was rejecting full stack jobs as I don't like overly complicated front end frameworks like React, etc. But it seems that it what the industry wants, unnecessary complexity. I guess I was a bit ahead of the industry when I was advocating for IntercoolerJS (now HTMX) and am still a bit ahead of the industry for that. In the meantime I guess I need to work with React or Angular for whatever job will take me.

Creative cannot replace ai

The only thing AI is definitely going to replace are journalists, pure spreadsheet/number crunching jobs, and conceptual art based roles. Any job that actually requires human involvement and has a hint of liability, no business is going to risk it all on AI . Who would they blame if it goes wrong? Who would correct the mistakes if the AI gets it wrong? Guarantees about data confidentiality?

I couldn’t offer to work for free to get experience in 2007-2008…

With all of these people "trying to break into tech" and are saturating the market, they are forgetting the basic law of supply and demand. High supply = lower salaries. If you don't accept the low offer, someone else will.

Embedded and infrastructure fields are still good and alive, why are you only talking about webdev ?

I just dont want to be homeless man i need to know you're not just giving me hope because you have a bootcamp to sell

I disagree, I feel like C should not be put ahead, leaving PHP out of the equation. Webassembly is not quite there yet, PHP still maintains the higher server share and with AI integration with WordPress I don't see that changing anytime soon.

what about devin ? You uploaded this video before devin

The growth of the developer population is ACTUALLY the problem here. More devs means oversaturated market, which means more devs that no one hires...

Nice try, I just don't see it. Maybe programmers don't have it as bad but WebDevs are just not getting hired. And AI will not make it any better for WebDevs.

The founder of Nvidia, one of the leading companies creating the AI future, just advised future generations not to go into computer science or coding because AI will make everyone coders (paraphrasing although I do recommend watching the interview). Does he know something the rest of us don't or is he off his rocker? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bradZdt2u8-yeaM.html
