    I agree that for now yes AI is not going to take Developer's jobs but in a long run it will cause some issues because AI learn from what Developers teaches it by the way of improving the system thereon in a long run AI won't need us. For example, in the early 2000s to run a decent company you were required to have 100+ employees however now with AI 5 people can run a decent company. And i'd encourage more people to learn more skills involving AI because it's here to stay instead of fighting against it. Great video👍.

    Junior earning R7500 a month?? That's low as hell. As I was a student at CPUT I had to do work integrated learning and I was getting 10k. Some of my peers were also on similar amounts. When I got into a grad program for a South African company I was earning a whole lot more. The salary range of a junior in my company is between 25-38k. The video is mostly true but it's extremely hard to find an IT or Computer science grad working at a medium to large company not getting paid 25k even as a junior

    I appreciate you addressing the myth that `Full-Stack developers earn more than any other type of developers` , but you also made a claim which might not be entirely true that `Back-End developers tend to earn more than Full-Stack developers in South Africa` I saw the screenshot but there was no source of a research or survey to back this conclusion. If you concluded based on the developers you have encountered then please do state, so that we are not misleading people who really want to compare salaries before they decide which area to focus on.

    • @BMTVSA
      @BMTVSA  Рік тому

      I'm not misleading anyone chief the information I talk about is there online on South African reports, there's a link on the video which points to where some of the information comes from. I assume you are a full stack developer hence why you think I might be wrong or misleading people. Video dropping soon about salaries so don't worry you will get the full stats about salaries.

    Well constructed, I'll add on 2 subjects for clarity:
    1. Software developers/writing code are mostly active within the implementation stage of the "entire" software development life cycle which is where Software Engineers comes in.
    2. AI will help you on algorithms and ideas but implementation is still fully dependent on a developer understanding what they are doing, understanding company standards and coding principles, so developers will forever exist bangatfuswa yi AI.
