There is a lot of change out there. My company is trying to outsource at least 50% of the positions and my team was effected. I got to keep a position on another team (for now). I’m In the middle of trying to bail. I’m over product development, dev “culture” and company acquisitions just to hollow it out for a sale down the road. I’m honestly disgusted by it all. I’m going back to services where my job can’t be out sourced, LLMed and I’ll make 60k more.

@user-gx2mk1tz5dI don’t dispute any of that honestly. You really can’t. The American Employee is becoming an expensive pain in the ass and social liability. But You can still find committed and amazing engineers in the US and as company be more interested in building products, solving problems and enriching the lives of the the country that is affording you the opportunity exist in the first place.

Around 2015 when the first useful AI software for scanning medical images emerged, the prediction was that the radiologist profession would be soon obsolete. That spooked a lot of medical students who decided not pursue degree in radiology Reality today: severe shortage of radiologist due to low enrollment rates in years prior! Software is also weird in a sense that it breeds the need for new software. For example, ad software breeds the need for anti-spamming and ad blocking software. Cloud computing was supposed to eliminate the need of sysadmins... Instead it created devops and arguably more work! AI/LLM will breed new jobs that we do not know of yet.

Yeah, that's the "everyone drops out of CS and in 2-4 years it's a hot profession again" scenario. My take is that's likely but I'm less in the "predict the future" mode and more trying for the "here are scenarios and what they might mean" situation. tbh that's part of why I love the comments - see what people think is more likely.

@@calmhorizons Yeah. The stones on someone who does stuff like hook an LLM up to a code execution environment, esp w/network access. I'm more bullish on LLMs as a local utility, everything agent-ish still seems like it needs human intervention for now. Very interesting to see some of the research/models esp on just getting the LLMs to follow the spirit, not just the letter. The social hacking side is also kind of mind blowing too. Phishing w/perfect voice mimicry... Ugh. This is making my head hurt.

The medical field is different. AI wont ever replace healthcare workers that are part of diagnosing or caring because you need human authority. Just like pilots. And many other professions. You trust AI completely to be your pilot? You trust AI completely to diagnose you? Of course not. The AI tools will only enhance the healthcare field, but for most of other professions it is taking jobs away LMAO

@7th_CAV_Trooper Месяц назад

The best advice from this video is to focus on stuff other than CS. Even if you're aiming for a CS degree, you need to learn about economics, business, etc. Pick at least one thing other than CS and get a minor. Everything tech related is easy. Everything human related is complex, so you better find a way to split your school time to lean something other than tech. Plus, all the best software devs I met in the last 30 years never got CS or CE degrees. They were physics, mathematics, accounting, business, electrical engineering, etc. I ran a SE consulting firm for 19 years and, trust me, technology was never the hard part.

@Aun-jq8oi 2 месяца назад

@ChangeNode, What software jobs or fields would you recommend to a student with no work experience who is about to receive his first CS degree in a few months? I am strongly proficient with web development, but I think everyone is herding towards that technology anyway. My older brother is offering me to work for his gaming startup company as a Software Engineer, and I am beginning to learn Unity. You mentioned in this video to pursue robotics or data analytic instead? Do I need to pursue another 3-4 years in college? Do these fields even have many interns for people like me? (btw, I am from Canada where we have San Francisco priced houses and West Virginia based wages)

@ChangeNode 2 месяца назад

Doh. Vancouver side or Toronto side? FWIW I know Vancouver had a bunch of tech stuff at least but not sure post-COVID what things look like (I'm in Seattle). Off the cuff: you want to get to 2-3 years of work experience. If your brother has a job take it, but IMHO you might want to consider focusing more on the backend (REST/SQL/etc) if possible as there are way more jobs in that space traditionally. WRT jobs & internships etc that's part of why I'd suggest networking ASAP as much as possible. Your brother offering a job is awesome, I'd still recommend keeping your eyes out for other stuff. A lot of it depends on if his gaming startup is making money or not esp WRT stability. Gaming is wildly oversaturated right now, but if there's a title that pops it can do well. FWIW I spent a year making store.steampowered.com/app/1208980/BlazeSky/ and while it was fun it worked out to basically a minimum wage job. Gaming is hard.

Thank you for your video. Other than interest rates affecting tech hiring, do you have any thoughts on Tax Code Section 174?

@ChangeNode 2 месяца назад

Aside from a raised eyebrow at 1) how they haven't fixed it yet and 2) that it's not getting more attention, not really. My sense is that rates are the big one, followed by AI, and 174 is a third. I would guess that rates & 174 both are tweaked in the next 1-3 years, but the AI stuff will intensify.

Can you expand on your thoughts regarding the bell curve relating age to involvement in tech? Does that data include movement into management related roles?

@ChangeNode 2 месяца назад

My sense based both on data and working with tons of companies while doing consulting is that somewhere between 30-40 people tend to either move out of hands on dev roles into management or they find another field. Some move into team lead roles, a few become architects, some move to leadership roles esp for startups. I'd take that same curve that is in the JS survey and move it about 10 years over and maybe cut it in half and I'd bet that's what the tech management curve looks like.

@JimMontgomery-y Месяц назад

In what window of time do you anticipate the practical utility and value of the AI bucket of applied technologies becoming clearer (including realistic economics, energy efficiencies, costs and returns)? And when do you anticipate this trickling over into the tech jobs market so the resulting shifts in labor demand become more obvious?

@ChangeNode Месяц назад

Those are the big questions. And the short answer is I don't think anyone realistically knows. There are data points (like trying to look at compute growth), but nobody really knows. The short answer is that there are already a lot of domains being affected by AI and AI robotics. Today. There are a lot of people (including a lot of comments in this thread and the others) that would say they were laid off due to AI already. Sort of the old joke "a recession is when my neighbor loses their job, a depression is when I do" kind of thing. I think that we will know a LOT more within 2-3 years for how the AI stuff will shake out. I think the combo of AI + no/low code tools is going to wipe out a TON of jobs, but at least for the next 2-5 years I think the economy will look (more or less) the same, just a lot of dislocation/changes. More than five years out? Who knows. If the AI bots are only digital it may not be that big, but if the AI robots come along and are cheap enough...? Who knows...

Hi, Will. Your explanation is really good and useful, can you make a video Cyber security, Job Market in USA, How it will be in the future

@ChangeNode Месяц назад

I'm not a security expert - as a dev/architect, I tend to focus on app & system security w/a deny everything, make sure CI/CD is good and deploy patches asap sort of level. There's a whole other level of [cyber] security which includes a completely different level of attack surface & social engineering that I don't get into (mainly because I find it sort of depressing). That said, I think that there is a ton of stuff to be done, it's all going to 11 w/AI & LLM tech. My guess is that it's going to be very significant going forward, except for how most enterprises seem to underinvest/have a "chase the horse after it's left the barn" mindset. So, from a high level, similar to the advice for other fields. If you haven't checked out my tips for a Java developer to get a job video, I'd check that out first. It's 90%+ relevant I think for other tech fields. Take a look and leave a comment if there are other security specific things. :)

@WisomofHal 2 месяца назад

Great video! My personal response to the industry 2 years ago (while getting a little older) was to leverage my software engineering experience into client facing roles. Roles like Solutions Architect, Enterprise Architect, Solutions Engineering, Business Analyst, etc. I found that, I get to stay close to tech, grow in other ways across business vertical, wear different hats, improve and train in more soft skills. As I transitioned, more opportunities in tech became available, sometimes the money is a little better and sometimes it’s the same. I’ll say, it’s a little nice getting away from the code and looking at the bigger picture and, although there’s more responsibility, I feel I’ve gained new insights, skills and experience away from the bits. Otherwise, I think there were other great suggestions mentioned in this video, especially learning to network early and at every opportunity! Cheers!

I lean towards the thought that AI will always be a tool rather than a replacement and the positive impact it will have on society will be greater than its negatives. I think some people didn't think the internet would be as successful as it was and some feared it, but overall it probably landed somewhere in between the skepticism and fear.

@ChangeNode 2 месяца назад

Yeah, I think the long term will be very positive but the intermediate transition period could be rough. The more I read about the social/cultural dislocations of, say, the industrial revolution the more I think having some kind of plan or model is important.

@staying_substantially6186 2 месяца назад

It will certainly be a helpful tool, but nonetheless the current amount of IT jobs wil decline. We will absolute experience a period where the competition to get an IT job will be fierce. Eventuall it will settle down and we are going to see a decline of IT majors until it becomes a normal profession like any other. Change can be annoying, but this has to happen :D

@Eagl32 Месяц назад

My humble prediction is, AI might be here to stay and Nvidia might be the leader in innovation for it, but it could also play out how it did for Cisco in the early 2000s. Are they lead in networking; yes. Are there competitors; yes. Was it overvalued/overhyped at the time; also yes.

@JT-mr3db 2 месяца назад

Similar to the question “when will interest rates drop back to 1%”?” They won’t. We went through a very weird period of incredibly cheap money. The bar to enter the tech space was incredibly low and the opportunities were everywhere. The job market will definitely get better, but it’s going to be a different ball game.

@ChangeNode 2 месяца назад

My guess is rates will drop if we get into a deflationary position WRT automation. Cheap debt will just exacerbate the issue, doesn't help with job loss. I'm editing the video on UBI I'm working on right now. spoiler: IMHO it's going to be a central bank/monetary policy model, not traditional fiscal. Deflationary math doesn't work out otherwise.

@JT-mr3db 2 месяца назад

That's awfully close to "what should I do with my life" - only thing that pops to mind is an exercise I do about once a year and/or when I'm feeling like I need to [re]plan things. 1. Take a few minutes to just write down all of the things you want out of life. Don't edit yourself, just write them all down. 2. Walk away from the list and come back a day later, and review what you wrote down. Next, stack rank / prioritize the list. 3. Archive off most of the list, and pick just a few things. If you try to do too many you'll just flail. 4. Assuming that you'll need at least some money to achieve those goals, what mix of work will help you get to those goals? 5. Ideally, what sounds like something you will find interesting to work on to help you achieve those goals that most people would find difficult and/or unpleasant, but they need? 6. Flip through the course catalog for majors and compare the salaries with the coursework and figure out what you can do, what you would find fun, and would help you with those goals. Give that a try and post how it goes. :)

It's a super weird situation. Not sure if it's a wage gap, something about the city, and/or a very bad HR process. If they are looking to import to code my guess is budget/wage issue. eg they want to pay $20-40/hour but local talent wants at least $50-60/hour -> "nobody wants to work, let's outsource" Hard to say w/o details tho.

How do I start an agency or SaaS as software engineer or CS and whats your best advice

@ChangeNode 2 месяца назад

Pick one. If you have access to capital you might start a SaaS, but if you don't have money I would start doing services. For services you just need to find one customer and try to get at least a few people billing, then repeat. First customer is the hardest. You need to know the domain/skill set well enough to hire/manage the staff, and you need to be able to do enough business development to find customers. Get these two books: amzn.to/3PN35mT and amzn.to/3PPG7LQ and you should have a good starting point. This would be a good video too, maybe next one? SaaS is much harder IMHO as you have to do a lot of upfront to even build a test funnel and TBH the space is swamped. Check out bubble.io and ponder...

Depends, some become fellows/architects. Off the cuff - some take quieter jobs esp doing maint on older apps/systems. Some move into management. If they save enough at lot retire early tbh. If you, say, bought a house when you were 30 in a place like SF or another high cost area and your house went up a lot you might just retire, pull out equity and move somewhere cheaper. Boomers retiring and looking for sun + cheap are a big factor for moves in the US now.

@ChangeNode Месяц назад

Oof. I guess a lot of it boils down to the size of the loans and your networking ability/interest. If you think that you can network enough and/or have a lead on a solid job, that's one thing. But if you are looking at eg US$100k+ in loans for an IT masters in 2024 I'd think pretty hard about that. But eg if it's say $30k-$50k that's probably manageable, but that's probably not huge loan territory. But remember I am just a guy on the Internet (ahem) and you need to plan your own life. Lots of tradeoffs. If you think the networking will pay off go for it. My guess is that the market for IT stuff will stabilize/get better in 2-3 years but that's exactly the kind of bet that's so hard right now.

I feel that AI effect will only start kicking in later next year. Current job market is mostly affected by high interest rates ie less projects but also job outsourcing. As someone who is outside Western markets I can tell you that companies in US and western Europe are laying off people and moving their jobs to markets with lowest possible hourly rate and this is a dominant effect not only in IT but most services industries. State of the economy for service industry is so bad that companies are cutting budgets wherever they can and job offshoring is primary way to do it. When you couple this with AI effect that I suppose will just kick in it's really a scary outlook.

When humanoid robots achieve the production levels of electric cars, they will be available for half as much as an EV.

Yeah, the figure.ai CEO apparently said that they are targeting $50k, and others are saying $25k. A SuperRoomba that's more like TidyBot seems like it would be easy to get to $25k or less. Wild times.

learning new tech stack is not going to help, it's better to figure out how to use what we already know

@ChangeNode 9 дней назад

Always a mix of building on what you know and adding in new stuff. FWIW two of my favorite books are Seven Languages in Seven Weeks and Seven Databases in Seven Weeks. IIRC I basically never used them (mostly I have done Java/C# and RDBMS) but it made me way better adding in more conceptual stuff. Also big gaps can hurt...

LLMS are cool but I can't see how they can take a a big software project with 15 microservices on backend and 100k lines of code and start creating quality merge requests based on jira tickets. That is just not happening. Everyone is talking about ai but in reality I can't see real use of LLMS in real life.

@Dom-zy1qy Месяц назад

LLMs increase developer productivity -> Less devs needed to do work-> Less jobs -> Ai stole our jobs!! I don't think most people think chatgpt is going to be architecting complex solutions.

@Smolandgor Месяц назад

@@Dom-zy1qy frameworks and libraries also increased productivity but less jobs never happen in grand scale of things.

i don't think big tech can provide us jobs anymore, we need to create our own job

@ChangeNode 9 дней назад

Yeah, I think some mix of entrepreneurship is 100% the plan. Worst case go work somewhere 2-4 years and try to rotate into every role with the plan being to open your own shop. Lean in and just absorb everything. This is esp good if you can do services, as the bootstrap $ is way less and you get immediate feedback. Do that and try to get to a crew of at least 10 ASAP FTW.

Any particular kind? eg apps, or consulting, or...? For grins I just popped that string into ChatGPT and asked it to analyze it. It figured that the 2 at the end was a delimiter and then wrote a Python script to decode the values as 8-bit ASCII values. And then it ran the Python and gave me the result. That gave back an invalid string, so I asked it to rerun it as 7-bit lower ASCII and it gave me another string. Egad.

Factory robotics is still out for another 8 years. They're too expensive, inefficient, and short-lived. Lithium battery is closed-source architecture. You can't swap it out when it wears out after three years. Which means anoth $100k down the drain. It can't compete yet with the productivity of an underpaid illegal immigrant.

@niamhleeson3522 2 месяца назад

Surely in a factory you would hook the robots up to mains power??

@wanderingfido 2 месяца назад

@@niamhleeson3522 no, these have to regularly return to recharging stations like Roombas. The problem is, as the battery wears down, the trips back to the station become more frequent. Like a tired grandaddy napping more often on the couch.

@@wanderingfido a warehouse isn't a factory which is some of what had me confused. still it might be preferable for warehouse robots to operate based on a system of overhead wires instead of lithium batteries that have to be replaced every couple of years and require downtime to charge

@@ChangeNode poor health. They cut our team in half and doubled our responsibilities. At first, I was only doing redhat for one acquired company, 24/7 on call. Then they added windows servers and solaris. I was catnapping in my car on lunch hours. Doc ran some blood tests and said NO MORE off hour support. I was laid off after three months of paid medical leave. I came back to try and work regular shifts in a different job. Coworkers kept asking for help from the old job. Then COVID happened. And my boss let me be laid off again because I was still too unhealthy to work a full shift. I don't miss it.
