I agree with pretty much everything you said here. I would expand on what you were saying at the end tho. AI/Automation has the potential to be the next industrial revolution and could change society drastically. If developers can be replaced by AI then all jobs can. There are currently videos of robots being trained to do drywall and other construction tasks so even manual labor isn't a safe career either. Probably the best thing to do for your future is to vote for universal basic income.
haha yes...if this happens, life as we know it will be very different...and this whole conversation is unnecessary as we simply cannot predict how different it will be, therefore cannot figure out what to do now to prepare.
Generative / predictive text generators & the application thereof is a tool, plain and simple. We can either be afraid of it and be paralyzed or we can allow ourselves to understand it and use it to our benefit. I can say personally that if I had used the time that I have wasted with worry / doom-scrolling myself about 'what if' scenarios like this I would already be a MUCH better (junior) developer right now. I plan to continue my own self-taught path, and learn to leverage these new tools as opportunity presents in addition to keeping a (renewed) focus on a 'more work and less worry' mantra :)
Exactly! It’s all a lot of worry and hype. Social media is designed to exploit the fear in people to keep the attention focused on it. I guess my video is taking advantage of that too. But my point is clear…just get on with your passions and use the tools you have to your advantage
Watched some of your videos and... You make good videos mannnn!! 👍
Thank you!
Wordpress has already replaced many jobs years ago and things like Next js and Shadcn would replace more developers 😅
if it was about productivity, no one would have hired fresher, fresher are value for money that's why companies hire them 😅
Yes juniors are more of an investment in the industry.
