Is Coding still worth it in 2024? (as an ex-Google programmer) 

No need to code . Just buy Bitcoin now

Off-top, but what do you mean when you say that Christmas is a day of tolerance for Islam, atheists and Catholics? Catholics are Christians. We celebrate Christmas. Protestants are heretics. We invite you to the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church 😊

hey im unemployed bro 50 to 60 grand sounds good to me, and if can work remotely work even better, go back to my country and save even more. what type of job could get me in door? not even remotely. Im in boston

​@@walidoulondon8107 nah bro, you didn't understand. TechLead is making such satirical videos. He is actually praising software development jobs. But you'll get it, just watch couple more videos.

I am telling, this guy who said he haven't code for the pass 10 years, i don't think watching his interview as a programmer is worth it

When someone boasts about traveling every other month, then compares programmers to janitors, who is on-par with slaves, it goes to show the arrogance and how-of-touch with reality. Hey, maybe he only said it for the click and view, which shows the willing to trade ethics for fame and money.

Very underrated comment right here. I believe you hit the nail on the head. I always loved the idea of coding but was very intimidated with all the coding languages out there (btw i'm 40). But ever since GPT4 came out i actually been building stuff... like real working stuff. My jaw dropped when i suddenly over night "felt" like i was a programmer with the help of AI of course. Anyway, pardon my rambling.... I believe more people will get into programming because of how easy it's becoming. It will attract more attention because building your own custom "Tools" has become a reality to anyone who's able to use natural language to communicate what they want to these AI tools. And they are getting better at a faster pace than it would take the average person to get a degree in computer science. Programming IS in demand now more than ever before. You can still make money from it, you just need to sell it differently. Just my 2 cents.

Can I see the midi generator?

Ty I think teachlead has a bag of chips on his shoulder

yes but thats just another learning curve , the study and learning doesn't stop and its annoying and dull at some point until you get burned out or washed out. you obviously dont get his point

AI will not replace all, but many. I would say in 10 years, 90% of Jobs in this area, will be gone. Just watch what happens in India. I agree that you will still need coders who can put thing together, but as AI raises over 300, there will not even this needed anymore. The human brain just can't properly recognize exponential grow, that's all it is. And now put conscious on it. Experts say, that at this point, we have 72 hours until AI reach 1000 and see us as a threat for earth. Musk, Hawkings and others may be wrong, at least i hope they are, but sadly, this is not a technical anymore, it became more and more philosophical.

Other than maintaining, there are no lucrative problems left to solve with coding.

ok have fun with your button development.

@@danielgx83 Respectfully I disagree. It's like self driving cars. Don't you think UPS, FedEx, and Amazon are writing blank checks for R&D to replace the humans? What about the military? Humans are the costliest asset. - It's just a matter of time before AI coding specialist (or whatever corporate buzzword) is for someone who can think logically and have the AI do the work. I would research the top accounting firms to see what their outlook is to their clients. Coders and IT staffers are probably safe for another decade. Blue collar jobs are looking really well these days. You get paid for what you do. That simple. :) - Have a Happy New Year!

Best take!

For one TechLead, there are dozens of "Hey look how I became a software engineer earning $100,000 with no degree". Every day, I see a new RU-vid channel about coding. So, no, your job is going to become more and more difficult. If you believe that TechLead alone is scaring off your competition and making things better for you, then your job is probably difficult already, because it's supposed to be a job that requires logic.

coping mechanism to protect one's self-esteem at its finest. you are right now convincing yourself of a false reality.

Competition for what? He's a multi-millionaire; like he cares? Coding is useless is an age where algorithms are writing 99% of it. The only coding that matter is the creation of NEW and INNOVATIVE software. If you can't bring that to a company or be contracted to do so; you're wasting your time.

Almost Everyone tries some kind of little entrepreneur business at some point in their life. It just takes a lot of luck for it to actually work.

Entrepreneurship isn't high status or guaranteed. I always cringe when I hear people say become an entrepreneur if you want to get rich. I think it is like 80% of businesses fail in the first 2 years. Now imagine starting a business where you have no product and you provide no service but you are suppose to build up millions of followers just to become a late night infomercial host and show them how great a product is. That is infinitely harder than setting up a business and has an even higher fail rate and his advice is "yeah you should try that" because being an "influencer" or "entrepreneur" is "high status". I would say if you hate your job and hate working for people then yeah you should probably start your own business but it is definitely a hard way to make an easy living and that is only if you succeed.

yes, IT is great for developing countries. which is why, now all the rich asian countries are outsourcing to south east asia. while the rich asian countries are now enjoying high unemployment rate. Or artificial "normal" employment rate because the ex-coders are now working as a take-out delivery guy.

@@goulash31mocking of AI slave mockery by AI

how is this for accuracy? " ChatGPT Ich bin Übersetzer (Deutsch-Englisch). Mir wurde gesagt, dass mein Beruf durch Automatisierung/KI ausgelöscht werden würde, seit diese Schlagworte entstanden sind. Es stellt sich jedoch heraus, dass sich mein Einkommen im Laufe der Jahre nur erhöht hat (als Freiberufler), und die Arbeit ist nur noch komplexer geworden. Obwohl ich keine technische Vorbildung habe, kann ich mit Zuversicht sagen, dass KI/Automatisierung stark überschätzt wird. Ich denke, Programmierung wird immer relevant sein, es ist nur so, dass sich die Art des Berufs im Laufe der Zeit ändern wird. Wie das aussehen wird, bin ich mir nicht sicher. Aber ich glaube, es wird weiterhin ein tiefes Verständnis für die Programmierung erfordern, wird aber eher wie Projektmanagement aussehen.' ---> chatGPT

The spelling is on point. However, it’s a direct translation. For any type of informal text where nuance/sentence structure/word choice (in terms of synonyms) doesn’t matter, this is a perfectly acceptable translation. One substantial mistake I was able to identify perusing the text is that chat GTP spat out the word “Vorbildung”, which shouldn’t translate to the word “background” I used. vorbildung refers to one’s formal education, whereas background in English can refer to both formal and informal training/education. Another mistake which I identified is that Chat GTP adopted the exact same sentence structure used in the English language. That’s actually a huge one as it does not sound like the speech of a native German speaker. Chat GTP also adopted the same short and scrunched together sentence structuring that is common in the English language. This sounds very odd in the German language. Again, it’s a good translation “1-1 direct translation” (and serves its purpose of conveying meaning), but it’s not an “actual translation” that takes the meaning and repackages it into a native-sounding product. This is also the reason why most translators only have a one-way language pair (for example, i ONLY translate from German into English, not vice-versa). Any type of “creative” text that relies heavy on onomatopoeia, literary devices, figures of speech, context and nuance such as marketing, literature, business and legal texts do not fare well with machine translation. Many agencies I work with have policies in place that state that if they suspect the use of machine translation, they will no longer award me assignments. And the most telltale sign that machine translation can create sub-par translations (rather than good ones) is that Google themselves publicly state that Google translate should only be used for reference purposes, and that it should at least be reviewed by a human before being published. This policy is even more important in the legal industry. Legal texts such as judgments, affidavits, contracts have real life consequences. If the lawyers/judges/jury members misinterpret information because machine translation spat out incorrect context/nuance, this can literally alter court cases (for better or worse). Now I will add that the one area where machine translation aids humans the most is technical translations (anything to do with engineering, technology, computers etc.) given the black/white nature of the field, and hence the lack of nuance. In fact, I heard that patent translators are affected the most since machine translation is basically doing the job for them.

@@dallaslooksmaxxer3505 wow! thank you for taking the time to give me such a thorough analysis, much appreciated!

A Slovak-English translator here. I happen to agree with you. And Guten Rutsch by the way!

Ive been saying something similar. I am a software engineer and my work is safety critical. There will always be a human needed to review the code and test the code. Our roles may shift but we will not be eliminated. In fact in my case, there will be more engineers needed, not less, because the number of software products developed will increase with an increase in developer productivity.

Coding changes all the time. The difference between assembler and high level language was higher, than now and before 20 years. Its now easy to code, however it is not easy to develop large software.

Please share what other skills can I add on top of coding

Yeeaa 100k is pretty mediocre money to live on. But there is also fact that people make a lot less than that in many other professions, just imagine how bad that is.

@@sercan272727 Less than 15% of US citizens will make more than 100K, and of 2022 the median household income is 75K. Thus, a person earning 100K isn't mediocre at all.

I'm studying Comptia and CCNA certs and thinking of getting my Bachelor degree in I.T. and maybe learning coding after that. But I am 40 years old and not getting any younger. What are your thoughts on this? I am struggling with studying for the Network + and find this stuff pretty boring, for the most part but don't really have much other options.

Agreed but makes you wonder if it wasn’t better for some to just become a certified accountant, a trucker, plumber, etc… many people in the trades (provided they arrive on time and sober) can make way WAY more than $100K after a few of years of working while getting certifications on the side, plus they can start working almost as soon as they finish high school without carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt… so these people start already with a several years of work debt less headstart (+$300K?) compared to someone that spent 5+ years studying and a large loan to pay just starting their career. There’s of course the love for the craft involved, I’m an electronics engineer (out of peer pressure), but never exercised and ended up programming video games (without any CS degrees or formal study on that front), the potential lower pay I deal with by being as minimalist as comfortably possible, since I love doing what I do so much.

@@sercan272727the difference is they never expected to make 100k. A teacher wasn’t sold a 100k starting salary. So they don’t feel like they’re missing it. Like expecting the latest smartphone and being there with replica phone.

He is right, but there are layoffs and hiring freezes for just about every role tech or not. Coding will just morph back to people that actually enjoy doing it instead of people just doing a quick bootcamp to try and make money

Qualcum let go 25% of their employees and replaced them with seasonal migrant workers and asylum seekers.

People underestimate the human brain. The only way computers to reach our level is via quantum computation which we don't know much about. the human brain the most complex object in the known universe still has some limits. We may never be able to solve the quantum puzzle.

Well Mr. 1985, you're right on a lot of points, though I've come to understand that you are neglecting a strong point. Humans will continuously evolve, technology is ever evolving and humans use this as a method to evolve themselves. That being said, there will always be humans in the equation taking control to some degree, you're right on that. Though, what you're not understanding is that the concern lies with the demand of Software Engineering. SWE will become undoubtedly obsolete to the degree that it at the minimum drastically reduces the majority of the SWE job market; it's simple and logical, it can't be denied. The logistical growth of AI can't be understood, illustrated by the CEO & AI Engineers being surprised or unsure of the breakthroughs that have happened or any that may continue to happen. This being said, there are two possibilities for the very near future (2-7 Years): Possibility 1 - SWE will continue on the path of drastically plummeting on job demand in spite of the market perhaps being the most oversaturated for a high skill job. Possibility 2 - Schools will teach SWE as a fundamental in the future just as we learn 2*2 because there will be some job no-one is aware of currently. So, will AI "Take over SWE?" Well metaphorically and in a great sense, yes; through eliminating an insane demand that employers deem unnecessary. It simply can't be denied, just hope that SWE becomes a fundamental for a more complex job, though we'll see I guess.

"It simply can't be denied" - haha, AI didn't take even 1% of SWE jobs, so it won't take any significant amount in any near future, your 2 years predictions are a joke - here I just denied it.

Although the central thesis of the significance of the (both liberating and dysfunctional) economic opportunity created by broadening participation in media is correct, one of the modulating/countervailing elephant-in-the-living room issues is that the FAANG have monopolized the Internet which is stagnating opportunities for startups software development. The video is overly pessimistic because of the lack of decentralization which he alluded to in the prior video (The Age of Making Money is Over). Correct that people are not going to download new apps (pita!), but they will visit new websites. So apps just need to become websites (the standalone app is nonsensical). And we need to decentralize everything to open up all the opportunities again for programmers and innovation. No disrespect intended because Patrick Shyu is knowledgeable, observant and intelligent, yet he may not be a visionary (after all he took a job at Google and I coded and marketed million user software more than once by myself or in small startups). Afaics, he is analyzing without any vision for how to innovate out of the stagnation of the current monopolization paradigm which incidentally is helping the self-immolation of Western civilization as the scapegoat for the end of the post-WWII (especially post-1970s) globalization, debt bubble.

You cannot operate on patterns, but on facts. And this why AI will fail, at least for now. It is possible that we won't need developers anymore, 1985 is not 2024.

@@yuki2413 I agree 1985 is not 2024. But neither is the technology even remotely close. There are new APIs, libraries, programming paradigms, interaction paradigms, UI/UX designs, operating systems, hardware interfaces, hardware designs, input interfaces, and countless other new developments constantly shaping technology. AI will not "create" these ideas, nor will it be able to implement them in its current state. AI, IMO, will always be AT LEAST one step behind human innovation, and it will depend on humans to develop the blueprints for AI to operate from. It might even get to the point that by the time AI catches up to the newest technology, the tech will have moved on to the next iteration. Eventually, the cost to teach the AI may not justify its usefulness in some fields. It is all speculation for now, and I am a big proponent of AI. It can improve productivity efficiencies in many industries and really help with automation in brand new areas. I just don't think it is going to replace all of our jobs in the foreseeable future. Right now, AI has helped search and information gathering technology take an evolutionary step. I look forward to what comes next.
