TECH LAYOFFS SURGE. The End of Coding.

So Tech Lead what do you suggest? Abandon the IT field all together? Or just coding?

I think Traditional Tech is plateauing. Alternative Tech is growing. I think all these layoffs will spur Tech in a new direction that isn't controlled by the Big Tech companies. More smaller companies will start and won't want anything to do with Traditional Tech companies.

The world has become a giant pivot

So much for "learn to code"... lol. I was #1 in my freshman class of high school with a 4.0. I now work in the trades doing electrical with the union. In a few years I'll be making well into six figures in my twenties with full benefits & top of the line insurance and benefits and my trade schooling paid for by my employer & union. You don't have to follow the sheep. It's been clear to me for a long time that the exponential growth of tech will have to slow down. It's natural. Mostly all of the marketable innovations will have been discovered and created and the industry will standardize. Corporate conglomerates will control the biggest coding teams and buy up any new ideas that sprout up before they can independently grow to full-scale. The sad part is that unlike my job, there will be less jobs than qualified applicants. My job and union is desperate for people and offering damn near unlimited overtime. It's common for companies to pay $15-20+ per hour extra incentive on TOP of our base pay to try and attract more employees.

I'm an old-fart coder that had thrown in the towel after going 0-14 on job interviews in the Great Recession, deciding instead to just file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and living off my 401K/IRAs. I have a friend in the business that I talked to a year ago, and he was telling me how Chat programs were basically doing the main bulk of his coding (he's an Oracle DB coder, and would do a quick run-through before compiling), and we both wondered how long he would remain employable.

I'd just read that the Sugarman had one of the biggest gains in wealth ever recorded in 1 day. I think it's time we start hitting these obscenely wealthy folks with confiscatory taxes.

I enjoyed learning assembly coding on a 6502 demo board with hex keypad entry doing Conway's Life Game algorithm

Great video! Thank you for sharing. What are your thoughts on pursuing a career in data?

If you think owning a lamborghini and pool would let you "live it up", you are confused. Influencers are actors. Their job is pretending to be happy.

Shocking how fast the world changes. When I was in uni ini 2009-2013 lots of ppl took computer science and there was just tons of jobs for programmers

Maybe the coders can learn to code. 😂😂😂😂

I’m a college employee. I have strong considerations on getting a CS degree, even though the college pays for it. Any suggestions?

got lay off today , now one programmer with ai is doing my job for the same money , i think i won

Would you all consider learning in-depth cisco and computer networking as well as AWS cloud is different than simply “I’m learning to code”

Bitcoiner. LOL.

a

well wtf shld i do now

“Learn to code” - RIP 2023

Welcome to the Debbie Downer show😅😂!

the problem is people hyped up coding and created a bubble

So why producing media is the best option for you?

People are only laying off in order to weed out the overpaid, they will be rehiring at a lower salary soon.

good perspective

Very informative video. Thanks

Maybe i should stop programming and start focus on my electrical engineering degree

Pure feelings here, not based in reality at all. Let's compare the average living people make programming vs influencing

Timestamps?

Brilliant, your ending line was the best

Some developers just breaking into a six figure salary working 50+ hours a week, while some TikTok millionaires prank people at Walmart.

I see a wave of developer jobs all shifting towards improving AI. O_o sell our soul and now our humanity too? Sustainable developer career for the human?

If you can ONLY monkey coding, you are in danger of this era. Get yourself ready by adding value to yourself!

i hate coding/programming. i like telling others to code

lol another great video from techlead!!

ChatGPT and LLMs in general are going to apply a lot of downward pressure on coding jobs. We're in the natural language compute world now.

dont code to automate your job. whats so hard about that?

Tech workers made entirely too much money, it was simply not sustainable. Furthermore all the insane benefits like meditation rooms, snack bars and the like were...and lets be frank here...undeserved.

Its about time this happened and everyone will be better off for it.

I'm a Bitcoiner! Thanks for spreading that orange signal! Exciting times ahead

This was hilarious to watch. You touched on a lot of interesting stuff. But to summarize, influencers work hard (it might not seem like it, but the success you see is only 1 %). But the difference is they work hard on LEVERAGE. They can serve 10, 100, 1k, 10k, 100k, 1m. It doesn't matter. They can keep growing. But at a job you can only serve 1 person. Your employer.

I don't agree with you fully but you sure are entertaining to watch

This guy consistently has the worst takes but I can’t tell when it’s satire and when it’s not. Tech influencers are not a comparable class against tech workers. It’s such and infinitesimally small population. It’s 100% not affecting employment in big tech or elsewhere. Moreover, while tech hiring is declining ( specifically at product based companies ) 99% of developers work in tech but in different domains like education, finance, etc. While these jobs are not golden geese they’re still very viable options. 99% of software roles have already turned into slightly better paid plumbers

why does it say jan 2023 in the beginning? aren't we in 2024? why are you showing us old dated stats?

Love it...spot on as per usual...

At one point, people were actually called computers. Go watch the movie hidden figures.

Thank you for keeping to gate keep programming💯 your a real one for this 💯
