Next video: Why I started coding again (as a millionaire)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I'm a programmer and as far as I know the software engineering industry is gonna grow exponentially, let not some KZfaqr 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...

A lot of people’s “business” is telling people to start a business lol

You got it backwards. No one is a photographer these days because EVERYONE is a photographer.

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.

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

"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

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.

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 KZfaq 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.

That's why my dream was never to work for Google or Facebook or so. When programmers like you finally understand what you understand, it's about time for them to put together and create their own stuffs and shape their future the way they want it.

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.

The way how fast he ends his videos always makes me laugh and fascinate at the same time 😂 here it takes less than 5 seconds 😂

I don't see any problems for programmers. I work in a company with many public international clients (governments) and they need this special type of software and so they hire us for big multimillion euro projects over several months or years. ChatGPT could never ever handle such a project which requires heavy communication with the client and special skills. Maybe ChatGPT can create a website, but that's about it.

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.

*Here's something a lot of people miss:* AI is making coding through English language FINALLY possible (and therefore every other language too due to stuff like google translate). Remember, this was what programming languages wanted to achieve all along. Instead of having to write in Assembly or Binary, they provided you an easier way to communicate with a computer. And the trends in how the programming languages kept getting easier to learn and became increasingly closer to plain English only pointed to a day when: _it would be as easy as just asking the computer to do something_ And yes, that means coding will become so easy that everyone would be a programmer. EVERYONE SINGLE PERSON, NO JOKE. Because everyone can talk with a computer now, not just someone who has a CS degree. So what will a person with a CS degree do? Definitely nothing creative. All the creative stuff can be done by just talking with an AI to do the exact creative thing. A CS degree holder will be like an electrician as Tech Lead mentioned. They will do maintenance work when something fails within the system, ever so rarely. A normal, unremarkable job. How can you be remarkable (the most creative) in this field considering everyone knows how to code? Remember, as a programmer, learning languages was just an unnecessary step in order to get to the main task: *problem-solving* You must forget about the language, it's about the solving of the problems. That's what matters. Can you take any impossibly difficult task, and somehow break it down to its components and somehow solve each of them? I keep saying somehow because no one knows how to do this stuff. It's the creative aspect. You need a WIDE range of topics in your head that you play around with, to be able to solve a new problem. That is different skillset, but that is what will help you survive now.

Its gotten to the point where I don't know what to tell people to go into. I love the field but it seems like everything has gone down. I am not sure what I want to do next. I was confident in the tech field but now not so much, but everything seems to be going in this direction career wise.🙂

"when was the last time you saw a new app go viral" TikTok? ChatGPT? lol

"If you want opportunities you have to continue looking forward and not backwards" I think this final quote summarise the video pretty well for me. Its really hard for me to let go my future visualization of myself being a tech guy, but at the same time I just want big money and to be successful. I just feel that I am throwing away my potential getting there through content creation or other non technical ways. I have the dream of having a tech startup and make millions, but maybe thats something from the past, I dont know, Im so fucking lost.

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 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.

Can you make this video again please, but as a millionaire instead of just as an ex-Google programmer?

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.

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! 🙏

I knew I wanted to work with computers when I was 10. I was the best programmer in my class through to college. Then once I actually got a job, after just a few years of coding, I was discouraged from growing further that way because coders were not needed. All the coding roles were getting outsourced, but they wanted me to be a communicator instead. Then later the heavy outsourcing changed and we ended up with a shortage of developers making me regret not staying technical. Now, I just want to do something creative. AI enables creativity, so I feel pretty good.

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 got out of programming and became Enterprise Architect / Solution Architect because programming jobs are being outsourced over seas

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.

I learned to program to build my own business. And I love solving problems. Don't get distracted.

The entrepreneur still needs to be a bit of a technician

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.

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.

I've definitely been coding in "maintenance mode" for too long, have to do something more interesting soon (one more paycheck and I'm out lol)

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?

It won't save us, true, but it will definitely help us.

Coding should always be a complementary skill next to something more solid and stable such as mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering etc.

So true! My friend is a software engineer... He refused to take any classes in physics, so NASA passed on him... He worked at EA Sports, but they let him go... His coding job paid $60.00 an hour, but they off loaded their coding projects to India where $15.00 an hour pays for the same work..

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.

This video is like opening my third eye

If you want to earn an exceptional income, for whatever reason motivates you - there are really only two paths. Sales or entrepreneurship....

I got my first coding job in 2019, i was excited after working for 4 years and 2 layoffs, i feel kinda burned out. But any wfh job beats the meat grinder, so i will still code.

Ai cannot STOP the innovative man. Me personally I'm an artist and AI is trying real hard to replace us. But the human touch is STILL needed. To all my programers keep pushing!!

Not everyone can be a content creator, people need to consume the content.

The Golden Age of programming is gone 😢

The more I think about this the truer it is

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.

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.

KZfaq 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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, I´m refactoring legacy code on maintenance mode. 😄

I'm 16 and I was ready to go into Computer Science but seems like during lockdown everyone did some bootcamp and wanted to work in tech, now the job market is flooded, AI is developing fast and ready to replace the junior positions, I'm thinking in what to study in University.

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.

this is all awesome predictions and we can also assume that platforms will find a way to de-moneitize any form of easy content. youtube is big on de-monetizing and it forces people to think outside the box which is good but then when someone finds a loop hole that gets patched or saturated. What I believe is that to survive in the future we will have to be an all-in-one creator of content, problem solving, etc. You can no longer just be good with 1 skill you have to have multiple skills. This could also mean we need more tools that can help people acquire or manage multiple skills. (cough) matrix brain connector that downloads skills (cough).

I recently started using Chat GPT while coding(Java and PHP). One thing I noticed, in just a day that I saved almost 3 days of work. It's just like Stack Overflow and Google but better. As I already know how to build the app itself, Chat GPT just writes the codes for me and I tweak them and fix them for my environment. By the way, I'm a Software Engineering student. Getting into the University I noticed most of my classmates are not good at programming. But I had about 4 years of experience and I did well in all the tests in the first semester, so because of their interest I created a web app where I teach them basic programming for some fee, and I am building the Android app for that. From my experience, I think Chat GPT is a great tool for us. It saves us a lot of time. Sure it writes shitty codes too, but if you are a good programmer you will know it just by seeing the code, then just tweak it or see for other ways. Also... My motive was never getting the 'Great Job'. I enjoyed programming ever since I was in high school. But now, not gonna lie I am trying my best to be better to be able to get a decent job.

Great advice man, we will wait for you to start working as a waiter or truck driver. You walk your talk right ?

12:00 is when I tuned in. I’ve been in IT over two decades, quite a bit of what you said is what I’ve seen. Cyber security seems to be a hot market right now and I would have loved for you to discuss that. Social media as an OS is one of the most honest things I’ve heard in a long time and why I subscribed. Please keep the content coming!

May be u leave code, but code won't leave u. I left coding for so many times. Coming back to it.

You don't have to explain why you quit coding. I too had a number of coding classes and I felt it was turning my brain into mush. I could not even talk normally anymore. And nothing else in the world existed to me anymore just coding. We are not machines who do nothing else but organize and count numbers. I was very happy to stop.

Don't think programming is dead, it is definitely evolving. Chat GPT can generate good code scarily fast however it's still dangerous for non programmers to use it. Without the base understanding or the concepts, it's still gibberish to most. Stuff that we're used to and can abstract out is where others would give up. I think it's more likely we're at the start of a new age where our creativity can now be enhanced and realised faster than ever before in multiple languages at the touch of a prompt. It's brilliant writing something out and then saying now do that in c# or python and you have it exactly in seconds. The future is for the creative more than ever.

Your sarcasm is so tastefully used its an art itself. Really entertaining, but only small portions lol. Keep up the good work man!

I do data warehousing and analytics/dashboarding. I think there will always be hunger for the business to get at their data, and more-so now with the data landscape becoming more complex and fractured over time.

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.

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.

I code a web browser dedicated to supporting flash player. Flash Browser. It will take a long time for the programming to be replaced...

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 😅

The part about math professor is so true. Math and physics people tend to think what they do is "cool", but in reality nobody cares about them.

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.

I'll say this I love coding but the hype is not real day to day at a company 😭

Exactly the reason i keep watching this content. No overhyped bullshit, just a critical analysis. Actually I agree with you. ChatGPT is just a tool not more. I remember when people where mindblown by google, it was not that long ago. Did google make us all rich?!

While GPT AI and other advanced artificial intelligence models have the potential to automate some programming tasks and improve developer productivity, it is unlikely that they will completely replace programmers. AI can assist with code generation, debugging, and even optimization, making it a valuable tool for developers. However, AI is not yet capable of fully understanding human intentions or complex requirements. Moreover, programming involves creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking, which are skills that AI cannot replicate to the same extent as humans. AI and automation may change the nature of programming jobs, making some tasks obsolete while creating new opportunities in other areas. Programmers will need to adapt and learn new skills to stay relevant, but there will likely always be a need for human expertise in software development. Collaboration between AI and human programmers can lead to more efficient development processes and innovative solutions.

Love the positive enegy 😂😂

what are you gonna do with the glory and riches? absolutely nothing, your life isn’t going to change one bit, you’re just going to look for the next opportunity and grind it out again. Life is a grind.

I think the problem here is this guy has been so successful that what looks like success to the average person is meaningless to him.

I found it really strange moving from australia to the US and be making such an insane amount of money for what is considered a trade skill at home. I was always an analyst, programmer or developer and from my experience this nomenclature is pretty normalized outside of America. Given the wild west nature and general lack of discipline of software 'engineers' that I've worked with, even to this very day, still have a hard time with the 'engineer' term. So, maybe it's more like the self congratulatory, homogenized counter culture of nerd-dom is regressing to something that was more status quo a decade or two ago. Gold Rush times are over, friend.

Hi! I really enjoyed the video. Insightfull feedback. I'm learning programing in University and I think that it still has potential, more precisely, APIs. As you've said, companies are reducing their access but there are other small ones who don't. There's a service/software solution that gives access to theit data through REST, and I know from professionals that use that service that there's no solution that integrates with them, so they have to do a lot of things manually. Mainly, inserting data. I'm basically talking about a SaaS business so again, I'm back at the things that you said. Firstly, this is no "big" thing that makes you populat and creates millions. Secondly, behind what I'm pitching is basically the spirit of entrepreneurship, monetizing a good idea, the means just happens to be programming. I find your idea of Social Media OS really interesting so I'm deffinitely looking forward for more videos on that from you. Thank you, once again.

I love this guy because he's a realist, he's not a dumb daydreamer like everybody else. Whatever he's saying is 1000#% true 😂

I taught myself assembly language, PalmOS, Solidity, and have decided to focus on cloud mining. No marketing or social media networking required.

Dude I am rewriting the WIN32 API, it's called the WIN64 API and I will sell it to Microsoft and become a multi-millionaire.

I have no fears for you. Nerd or not, you have an excellent brain. Exceptional articulation; a rapid flow of well-constructed, thoughtful words, devoid of pauses. That's rare, impressive and valuable.

In my lifetime, careers have changed dramatically in IT. I had to keep moving from the edge of the envelop to the edge of the envelop of projects whilst changing my role several times to keep myself in a good job. It got worse as I approached retirement. Now, it's best to be creative than technical unless you are really good and really focused like a chess grand master. Otherwise, you'll go nowhere and won't earn a good living playing chess like 99.99% of chess players. However, 5% of creative people can do really well in this world.

not sure if i agree with you, being a programmer for many years it gave me more than being a doctor or a lawyer. I choose my work hours, work exclusively remotely and always have an opportunity to switch job if my current job is not to my liking. Being a programmer is probably the best decision i have ever made. Now since ChatGPT came out, i feel like my value diminished. I work with proprietary systems that not many people were available to work on them. Now with ChatGPT i feel like my value is down, the only thing that is saving me is knowledge of those proprietary systems, but i am sure not for long.

Now is the best time to get into coding. Fact is, even with the help of ChatGPT4 (or GPT5, 6, etc.), 99.999% of the population are still TOO DUMB to get an app to work. What ChatGPT means is that coder's lives will be EVEN EASIER. It's like Stack Overflow but next level. Sure, idiots can pretend to know what they're doing using ChatGPT just like how they could copy/paste python scripts or ask co-worker or on internet to help them. Though at the end of the day the code will be as good (or bad) as the programmers. The only people who are getting replaced are the ones who don't care about accuracy and reliability. So mainstream "journalists" and "bloggers" will be the first to go.

You are focusing only on consumer products. Switch the focus to enterprise customers and you will find way more opportunities and problems to be solved by either coding or machine learning

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've been talking to my son who is going to college soon and your insight and information has been invaluable. Thank you so much

Truthfully if you don’t own land , have a dividend portfolio you can live off and a business / real estate generating passive income you’re in trouble . Inflation has made exchanging time for money inefficient. The goal is to escape the 9-5 as quickly as possible before it gets even worse .

It's funny, in college I always felt that I wouldn't like being a software engineer. I loved math and by extension algorithms, data structures, theoretical computer science and programming, but always thought that I would be giving up those really cool subjects to be a standard developer, developing whatever business application my boss wanted me to. Fast forward to now, working as a software engineer, and I'm honestly enjoying it. I know I'm not going to get rich doing it, I never really thought I was going to, I honestly just wanted to learn something interesting in college and math / programming fit like a glove. I've been mulling over going back to school for a graduate degree in math or comp sci (maybe applied math, computational math, AI / data science, even pure is an option) but whether I go back to school, keep working as a software engineer or go into another industry entirely doesn't matter all that much. At the end of the day I chose STEM because it's fun, and I'm content with that.

The evolution of software dev Is software 2.0. Coding and programmers Will evolve not replaced.

Example: In the past, releasing your music was REALLY hard. Renting the studio, composing, producing, playing the instruments.. Now its an oversaturated market but STILL the really good ones or hungry ones make a ton of money and are going to get hired. The same goes for any other field. Assembly required a LOT of skill as does coding in general. Now coding will become possible for anyone hence why it will be a less "valued" field. Still the really good ones will stand tall with good, clean and original apps not created solely by a machine. They are going to get hired. Especially the ones developing AI. AI will not make humans obsolete, not in the near future. It will likely just cause an oversaturation of junior programmers.
