I mean those people who ask this question shows that they have no clue about the software industry at all. It like asking “is farming, diary and agriculture dying” when tractors and automated milk machines and GM crops came around.
Not really. Automation has always reduced jobs. Teams of people working fields of milking cows are no longer required due to automations and tractors etc. those still in farming aren't exactly bringing in big bucks either, the companies distributing the produce are. AI software development means smaller teams required, which leads to more redundant software developers looking for jobs, which in turn translates to wages going down and it's an employers market. The amount of knowledge and education required soon becomes too much for the reward. Effectively killing the sector for developers new and old.
@@thefattysplace ah how come employment often was as big or bigger in pasts times? As said look at I globally. Not on a single person. Single role or title or single teams. New opportunities seems always to have risen or so you claim our living standard and employment rate was better say 100 years ago?
@@thefattysplace Tractors increased the productivity and output of farmers a lot. This reduced the demand for farm labourers and other on farm jobs but the increase in farm productivity lead to growth of food processing units and other connected services like banking, logistics etc. this created better quality jobs and those farm labourers who could upskill themselves could easily get a better job. economy is like a big complexliving organism.

Gosh. Since I joined the industry 4 years ago, everyone has been dooming the tech industry. It’s so annoying. Given that tech is still so young, I wonder how it is within other industries. Fortunately, I don’t have the same outlook. I spent two years at a software engineer position and left for another company. I just recently left that company after a few years, during mass layoffs and the doom and ended up at another company. I have been getting pinged left and right to come interview as a software engineer for well known places. I believe the contrary, computing and software, the fun stuff. is just getting started!
It isn't dying, I won't say AI will never replace software developer, but I think the cost of AI is still too expensive for now. It pretty similar to software development trajectory, anyone wants to make an app for anything, replace anything with merely a few clicks, once the investment dried up, the reality knocked in, then we realized the infrastructure that we build costs us too much, it's cheaper to just revert to the traditional way, using human rather than rely solely on clicks. This happens because we don't build things to fulfill people's need. We build things to make the investor richer, help them to accumulate their wealth. That is why everything happens in such a rush, sam altman keeps saying the next model will be an improvement, but they just add more parameters to pretrain their model, until when? more paramaters require more resources. Sam's just trying to bait the investor, once LLM hits the ceiling anyone would ask "Is AI dying?"
It's not that expensive for software development, especially when using open source models, taking into account development time and the amount it would cost for a team of developers to do the same job.
It's not yet but if it keeps improving the barrier of effort will be much lower which would be good for software creativity and experimentatiom BUT i think seniors will still lbe valuable because AI's still generate mistakes, and still hallucinate answers.

@@litjellyfish new opportunities may arise but they will be a different job or sector. An AI prompt engineer is not a programmer for example.

you and lewis gotta make more videos you guys really match each other

@@thefattysplaceopen source models tend to cost more in infrastructure expenses than API use
Wait, which data did you use?
When we ask a question, is X (person|animal|profession|trend etc) dying? usually it is not a good sign.

At the moment. You would expect this to be overcome in the future, and there are already checks you can put in place to detect hallucinations now.
Everything changes since LLM available for everyone
Completely DEAD
Nice hair style )
And i’ll start now software development😂
Recursion 😀
You? Many years on this career? Didn't you start while the pandemic as a self-taught?
Nope! Way before the pandemic!
Like a month? I'm pretty sure I watched a video of yours where you were talking about it 🤷♂️
You might make how a.i will take over world , it will be fun . For a change
tldr; give up
i hope ai will not takeover the software development
