I agree, its not just about learning and landing a Job, its alot to do with how you market yourself and connect with dev communities

I find your thoughts really down to heart, I've been learning web development over the past few months and I watch some info videos as well to make sure it's still worth the effort learning, anyways, I just want to thank you for your sincere and well informed opinion.

I love the hope part you mentioned at the end.. mindset matters in this current challenges.. spot on.. thanks man..

I mean I've personally been getting more offers than ever... The issue is simple, people aren't very "good" at coding. They learn quickly through resources online, but they don't learn well and they lack ANY real-world experience. Why hire someone who's going to cost you money and be a pain to work with, when AI and a couple of the right team members make life a breeze?

With all the developers that can't find work that energy still has to go somewhere. So what I think will happen is that more diverse applications will start to show soon as people work on what they want to work on and what directly benefits themselves as opposed to working on what benefits a company. Silver lining.

0:44 60% change in openings is scary! Don't get discouraged ya'll!

Great video Nick! Thank you sir! Love the Skool app!!!❤❤❤

You started in 2015 and I started in 1986. It's funny to me watching you all grow up. Especially thinking you know anything about what's going to happen.

nice video. one additional tip i can give is to not overspecialize and always be curious.

Thanks man. Seeing this positive content is nice tbh

4:00 Mobile development is at low hiring rigth now… You have to be top notch to find something nowadays.

Awesome video as always Nick! This is why i’ve been subscribed since the early days!

Thank you, Nick!

I like this positive mindset. Keep supplyin the good content

Thank you for this post. I earned my A.A.S., with certifications last May in Web and Mobile Development (yes a CoVid Layoff victim). OMG, the market today is at flood stage. As a novice, I am finding opportunities that require experience are a requirement, and I still question my skills. I even worked for 1.5 years as an intern. I decided to study more code as in extensive JavaScript. It is going well, but wondering where to go from here. I have no problem taking an entry-level job. I'm not looking to become wealthy overnight. Kinda scary.

Excellent point, thanks Nick

apenas hoy supe la diferencia entre git y github es decir. podria ser opcion usar codespaces de github para trabajar en dos equipos? saludos y gracias

Apples new programming language is for configuration files, I think we’re cooked

You mentioned discount for ZTM. How to get it there is no coupon code?

Glorious Nick is back y'all

Question: If I am learning a language in uni do I focus on that language like CSharp or do I pick another like Java or Swift that focuses on mobile dev which is something I want to do in the future

Hey mate. What are some of those "areas of expertise" that a junior developer could try to specialize in? I know things like testing, DSA, problem solving, debugging, etc but are there like actually specific focus points that might be appealing? Or are you implying it doesn't particularly matter, but it helps to stand out having ANY strong focus skill than just being okay at all of them.

Nowadays it's like you have to study in a super rich college or you won't get hired.. and before getting the job you have to know everything.. there's no chance to improve yourself while working coz if you don't know even a small thing you won't get a job 😅

Who will hire DevOps engineer without experience in software engineering or data science without experience or master degree?

4:52 that aged well with express js

great video, keep it up!

Nick, idk if you're stressed or tired or what bro, but you're not looking healthy brother. I've been watching you for 4+ years now and you don't look the same, and not in a more grown-up way. In a "the work has taken its toll" way. And I mean this with all love and respect, maybe take some time for yourself brother, you deserve it?

Thank you for creating this informative coding video. It's been incredibly helpful in advancing my skills. Looking forward to more content like this!

What are your thoughts on backend vs full stack vs mobile dev in 2024?

I like how they say it's speculation. I mean do you not know why you fired Developers?

thanks nick

I see Nick differently now since he became a streamer lol.

We need a time management video please. Time management is really hard for a developer. Physical activity, learning, practicing, hobbies, resting...

❤he won my heart at that chatgpt line.

I need that sweater

VS code + Free plugins makes coding very easy now. I started in the early 2000s and it was really hard, I needed to buy thick books but have no money.

This video is an add for Zero to Mastery. There is no way a newby to programming will be able to compete with all of the laid off tech people and AI. So, it will be who you know.

Buddy, that lamp in the background is going to burn my computer screen

Thinking about getting into software engineering

You look worn down. Are you getting enough sleep? As for the topic at hand, there is very little innovation anymore. Just about any idea one can think of has already been implemented. The same situation is happening in the vocal and visual arts. There's really nothing that can be sung about now that hasn't already been sung before. Movie ideas have run around. It's now formulaic movie making. Years ago (try 1998-2003) I bounced between two schools (community college and university) taking programming courses. Visual Basic and C++ were all the rage, with Java coming on strong. What stopped me from doing anything with programming is that I'm a very practical person, and there just wasn't anything that I could think of that (a) wasn't already downloadable somewhere or (b) was worth my time writing.

Nice video ;)

another nick white banger

Hi Nick, i agree with a bunch of what you've said but I just want to say that it's a little misleading (just in my opinion) to say that if you aren't keeping up with no-code tech you may get left behind. That is just not true imo. You can pick up no-code tooling, on the job, like overnight. It's simple asf. Employers want to see your programming skills, not your no-code skills. I've never seen a job listing specify no-code experience as a req. If you are going to apply to a role where you will be writing code day to day, they do not care at all about no-code experience up front. You also don't necessarily need to excel at leetcode-esque DSA as a brand new junior. I know its fashionable to tell newbies otherwise. But if you aren't applying for FAANG or big tech roles then you are not very likely to be asked to reverse a linked list, write merge sort from scratch, refactor some quadratic nested loop to in-place O(n), etc. In 2020 when I was first hired, my interviews were asking practical questions like 'how can you handle this incredibly large csv with streams in javascript without libraries', or 'demonstrate you know what inheritance is' or 'when is it appropriate to use x pattern over y pattern' and so on. I don't believe that has changed. Companies care about the skills that generate revenue and the demonstration - as a junior - that you have the potential to learn and grow. No doubt that in the years since then, learning time and space efficient algos and whatnot has been powerful for my work as a backend developer. But it was in no way related to me getting hired as a junior, which is who you're targeting in this video right? For context I am an engineer at a Cloud PACS company (medical imaging platform, to paraphrase greatly). We are an SME. We are not big tech but we ingest and disseminate tens of millions of medical images and reports, and this demands precision, innovation, adherence to security best practices, and compute efficiency. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this if you read my comment. Have a nice day.

now if only the housing market and economy in general would correct itself as well. For things to get better they must first go down and stabilize. the tech market was not sustainable in its prior levels.

It seems like in exactly a year from now, lots of people will be destitute with no job prospects at all, including programmers at all levels.

How should a fresher get a job in the current market?

I feel like there’s so much shit talked on the university approach and that’s understandable but read this to know how the uni approach can work. I understand I’m privileged no need to let me know: went to CC for a while and got As since I was able to dedicate myself to school and a weekend job. Got into every UC for CS and/or math with As, CS tutoring exp, and 5 and a half years working a high stress/crisis oriented job, and as much effort as possible put into my personal essays. Went one of the more rigorous UCs. Poured my life and soul into it and applied to more internships than I can count. Each junior year got 1 FANG internship accept and did not get return offer at end. Senior year got 1 offer from good company not FANG but still very good. Got return offer for that. Came into job after grad with no practical skills. Worked my ass off to get them on the job. Worked overtime and created a support system using soft skills to help me survive. Finally a strong contributor to important applications about 1 year into the job. Currently flourishing in job.

I’m making a serious career change to learning web development but now I’m questioning everything

I'm a new programmer and just stumbled across your video but what makes your opinion valid? Who is you and what are your skilttles/asscomplishments

The problem started when i decided to learn to code. Everything i touch turns to a loss

MR FEAST!

I like the content man.

im learning Go, its picking up. backend dev in Go.

lol my boss at my company says to not use chatgpt...

I have a strange feeling that I’ve already seen this video months ago

you literally copy pasted ur title form tech with tim

Thanks for explaining this, Nick. Coding is not only changing, but DYING. Layoffs are here! It's the end of the self taught programmer, and is programming dead? Coding layoffs!

my one frnd jus hates gpt's and ai stuff , as people copy a lot , and also some time ago they use to suck , but it can be very much helpful , as you can use those tools in learning and learning more, even if you don't get a job in any company ,you can always use that knowledge , and give it to others , "learning shouldn't be stopped"

Listen to this 45 year old man, he knows what he's talking about.

basically dont learn javascript and you will find a job everyone is learning reactjs now, focus on java or c# plenty of job not much competition

Yeah f this. I'm out. Its liberating to say it. Studied for a solid year+, got several interviews in the last half of 2022, some for multiple rounds, and was improving with each one. That world is gone. With early 2023 getting an interview became a monumental task. The game has changed and its not one Im willing to play. One less competitor for you hopeful types, good luck! Coding will continue to change and get easier. The good news is it will become more and more available for anyone to create things more easily, although there will be less entry to high paying jobs doing it.

Fromsoft pivoted away from business software to gaming, not overnight, because of shifting market factors. Smart developers will do the same. As someone who maintains several large and outdated systems, I CANNOT stress enough how important it is to leave good notes. The idiots who coded some of this stuff literally cost the company millions.

how old nick

Face filter version 7.0

What's an example of "no code" tech I need to know? I use ChatGPT all the time!!!... to tell me what code means because I'm a fudge-king moron, so I guess that puts me at the head of the class!

Nice Video sir

its so over

Newbies are competing against experienced programmers, software engineers, etc plus AI. Even experienced people are struggling due to AI. You have to be responsible with advice you give mate. Current market It’s tough.

So nothing changed 👓

Last time I checked, we don't have enough programmers.

Man, it sounds pretty overwhelming.

If I become a software engineer will I get eye bags like you

Nick you inspire me to order DoorDash every day and get fat.

.

🎉🎉🎉🎉

8 billion human beings, most of which use software everyday. There are 27 million programmers on the planet and most of them suck. There's plenty of opportunities.

Nice click bait. What a load of nothing.

F A T W H I T E

Honestly there needs to be legislation to control this stuff, now every bum goes online and wants to be a software engineer. Meanwhile people went to engineering schools and studied their butts off and can’t find jobs

c'mon why make your title exactly the same as TechWithTim's video? :/ Like this is a good video, but you really just shamelessly took my man's title like that?

Tech influencers just keep making the same nonsense videos

Seems like everyone knows how to code these days

Wow couldn't even come up with your own video idea?

Please learn how to use a computer first before grinding code tutorials on YT. Sincerely the IT department.

I got 8 years of iOS dev experience - I’m eating potatoes and learning AI stuff for like a year now… I can’t compete with generated CWs and wannabes that memorise all the answers from frequently asked questions, that interviewers got their list from. I’ve lost numerous positions to some fake mofos that couldn’t handle the job and seen that position open in 1-2 months. Sadly, I’m too entitled now to try competing with “zoom actors”. Better work on automating these parasites out of their jobs huehuehue😅

Second

Lots of bad advice in this video lol. Getting a degree is by far the easiest way to get a job, especially if you can land a internship. Nobody gives a shit about your portfolio or personal projects, and chasing trends is often a waste of time. The most important thing is your experience and the companies you've worked for. Thanks for confirming this by mentioning chatgpt. Easy to tell the charletans from the people who actually understand what they're doing.

Brother not only coding but' most of Jobs will be taken by AI before 2035 ,why people spending their time on coding??? Do you know this mass layoff we seeing the last three year ? companies Gradually chapping Employees cover it With Robots (AI) One engineer making or creating Robots that is his replacement !!!

first

Don't need your recommendation get out of my feed algorithm. Thi is getting really annoying.

bro iam waiting for 6 years for your song ... " iam in love with my recruiter part 2 brah " !!!

nontent 🥱
