I work as SE/programmer/architect/dev DBA since 1987 in U.S. and will retire in a year. lot of ppl told the truth, that layoff is common tasks in IT so bear with that and move on. And, of course, AI will take over most routine works including coding and lot of other works, sad but true.
Indeed. Developer/QA in Asia are relatively much younger than the United States (I don't know about Europe). Wonder what kind of jobs that software engineers in Asia can switch to when they get old if they cannot reach manger levels in time.
