@@MrgLoRybLue TL;DR SWE is a great job only for a few people. Most developers hate their jobs. I'm a SWE myself with a CS degree. Most people I know are excited and passionate when learning about coding whether in college or BootCamp, but once they start working, they learn that work and school are completely different and tech is over-glamorized. Most people find the work they do unmeaningful, unfulfilling, and lose their passion, and you only realize these things when you start working.

Yeah, take what this guy says with a grain of salt because his channel is in incentised to paint a rosy picture.... I am a longtime dev and I think he is doing a disservice...the market is saturated....I would only Perdue coding at this point if u really enjoy it and are talented at it...otherwise it is a real grind of a job with all the learning required....will never catch up with folks that already have experience. I think the days of easy money are over.

The problem is finding the few jobs that will hire entry level candidate with 0-1 years of experience, and then competing with the 200 - 400 applicants that have applied. The market of candidates is oversaturated. There are also people in Ghana and other third world countries learning to create web pages that will do it for free so you really need to be the best among your class.
If this is true then why do I hear so much doom and gloom from everyone about CS being over saturated? Every day I see another post on Reddit about a new cs grad applying to hundreds of jobs and getting nothing
when I apply for web dev job position usually there's 1000 applications already submitted and 50%+ of them with masters degree! I have a bachelor's degree and it's hard for me to find a job and relying on freelancing isn't stable income

I was about to start trying to learn code in order to get out of my crappy retail job. Was actually excited about the prospect and the idea of making at least double what I do now out the gate. But all I see online, including the comments here, is how the tech jobs aren't there, how junior devs won't get jobs, how it's essentially pointless to even bother learning code now as the market is so oversaturated that there's never going to be a need for junior devs again within the next 5-10 years. It's honestly super depressing and makes me worried that I'll only ever be in retail and be stuck living paycheck to paycheck. Guess I'll just have to learn to make peace with my situation as trying to better myself and break into this industry is futile from what everyone is saying.
I think it’s worth the short. Learn to code while working retail. Do it as a hobby. Here is a strategy 1. Join coding communities where you can network. 2. Keep practicing. Keep researching about your field and stay up to date with news, frameworks, and other new technologies. 3. When you’re ready join hackathons and get freelance clients. 4. Create your own projects. And perhaps 2-5 years from now you can start applying. You’ll have a good enough portfolio and good skills. Attaining wealth is rarely ever quick. Don’t deprive the you from 20 years from now a good future just because it won’t be easy. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy
Learn it because it's interesting. Chip away at it. Get a few certifications. Don't be discouraged so easily. Start with Python, then add a few more languages. Harvard has a free 15 hour UA-cam course on programming (CS50).

Yes if u are looking at it long term than I think it is a god time investment so long as you know it is about continuous learning...and if u r really willing to work hard u can get ahead in tech for sure...backend development is going to give you more job security for sure...it is harder and requires you to learn the business domain, you therefore become critical to the busines and therefore would be the most likely to survive rounds of layoffs which come up when the economy is not rosy.

@@claudettebentley I also started a tech career late 90s though in the current market, I am not going anywhere presently in a job search probably due to market and ageism. Back in the day, it was extremely easy to get work and even to get into the field. I believe those days are gone, and I think it is a disservice to people to lead them on like those days are still here....nowadays I would only recommend someone get into programming if they really enjoy it and/or have a talent for it and/or really know the time commitment it takes to learn all the multifarious things it takes to be a SE. Just to encourage someone to go to a bootcamp etc (when they are not really the programming type) in this climate I think is a real waste of time and money. Most devs burnout in later mid-life. Also, learning React as this video suggests is dime a dozen skill, you are not going to differentiate yourself by just doing that...Hard core backend folks...I think that is a different story but imo, you have to be really smart/analytical to be a good backend dev.

Remember guys this job outlook came before the advancement of ai. Something I’m sure they were not factoring that time. I’m sure the prediction is off some.
Interesting video, but I feel like it had a lot of fluff as it pertains to the junior developer. The video did not speak to the real concerns and realities confronting junior Devs coming into the tech industry. The demand for more experience than a junior can have, and that's even if they want a junior. Everybody is a junior now according to the industry unless you have 5 or more years experience.

Hey Craig! In web development we have help landed students jobs that did not have college degrees. We’ve found that employers care more about experience rather than a degree!
@@devslopes In 2023, you won't get experience if you don't have a CS degree or...experience. Most employers won't interview self-taught programmers when they have 100+ applicants with CS degrees and/or experience; they don't have the time and it's highly unlikely that self-taught candidates would be a better fit for the organization. It doesn't matter how great your portfolio looks (since they won't even check it out) or what bootcamp you graduated from.
I'm still learning to code, all my colleagues who are engineers have been freaking out about job shortages (in Australia). There is 3.5k jobs in the country, 800+ in Melbourne alone. Plenty of which are junior or low experience. The worlds still our oyster friends. Don't listen to the fear mongers. Diversity hiring is on the decline so company's are looking for real talent again. We'll be fine!
this should be top comment. I suspect that those who fear are the ones that want to have a 6 figure salary after doing a 50h bootcamp or Udemy course. For the rest who really want to enter they will spend learning all the time and using the tools to learn and produce code faster. I am some kind of support/security engineer that was showing one of my colleagues how chatGPT can be used and how it can provide you with a bad result if you not understand what you are doing. chatGPT and the rest of LLMs can replace only the useless people that are in the industry, those who entered just for the salary and the only thing that they do once entered the field is just slacking. I saw a lot of friends spend 20 to 30h per week having a normal job till they managed to enter the field, with discipline. Another recommendation is to learn soft skills in order to been able to sell yourself to the HR and pass the interviews.
The worst thing was I started learning coding and jumped to coding world, for newbies leave it as soon as possible, instead open a shop, you will get better life
That is a lot of wishful thinking man. I hope that what you are saying will be the case. On the other end I do not believe that AI will not take over. This is just naive.
I like this guy, couple of things, you don't need to make him look and act extra laid back so the audience can relate, he already naturally gives off the aura of a friendly, and calm person. Change the clothes and just let him be himself lol
What I would recommend is getting into Native app development. The reason behind that is you are more likely to get a job as a native app developer. Learning languages like Kotlin/Swift

And again some bs JavaScript promotion video 😂 I'm from country in Europe And because of all this fake hype and thousands of videos to learn js market here is so oversaturated then knowing js now counts like you never was coding in your life 😂 Everyone knows it. Salaries when drastically down(because anyone can do that job now) and on top of that no one even wanna offer jobs with this skills(some jobs of course exist) But it's pretty much same hard like find a job with plain HTML only without experience
where can I find good, honest, programers with the skills you state in the video? it's for an application I want to build. All suggestions are appreciated. I need a to build a team or find a full stack developer that is up to date and knowledgable of Ai, algos, etc. thanks
Finally a video with good news for me I wanna become a web developer but while i was learning the basics ai entered the market and i got so much demotivated from that point
Take it from someone who was in the same shoes as you last year, I would get a degree if u have time, you could land a job with self taught/bootcamp but it’s extremely difficult
Dude ai should motivate you it makes things that would take days take only hours. It's like a personal tutor or mentor that you can conversation with and knows anything about technology. Don't be demotivated bro, get hyped!!
Any chance you could create a version of this video without the sh** and fu** dropped in there? I am a CTE teacher and I would like to use this for my programming class.
AI will have a greater impact than the previous mini-revolution in programing but it will only delete your job if you don't learn to use the tool. The event I'm referring to is OOC. Object oriented coding was revolutionary and made it possible for one person to do the work of many.
There is something wrong with this guys who tell you to pursue a career in software development. I mean they are creating more competence for themselves.
Bro, programming is not a short goal. It will take you at leats 2 years. Bro, it is reality. How ever programming it will never disApear. Prpgramming is not about the language, but the systematic way of solving problems. There always be problems
Thanks brother jack we apperttiate that beacause as student in computer science we suuffer by disstraction and lot of people said YOU shouldnot learn programing cause AI but you give us a clear idea about it. i will sait again thank you JACKKKKKKKK .
It doesn't matter what you start with. You will make lots of mistakes on the way. You won't know everything. Don't let that scare you. It's a continuous effort in learning. You will need to learn about all programming paradigms. Learn about the theoretical foundations in algorithms and math. Learn a bit about CS history and product/ technologies that evolved into standards. You will not only spend time coding but also with testing, requirements, design and architecture. You will learn how to work in teams. Etc. You will end your career with different technologies compared to when you started. Engineering is about tradeoffs and finding solutions that match the problem. Beware of overengineering.
Can I get a coding job right after completing high school? I have the necessary Skills required for a coding job, and i am taking interview preps from LeetCode to help me tackle those questions. Will that be enough to impress the interviewer or is going to a college absolutely essential and getting a degree as well.
Yo Jake, what happened to the other guy on your team, I forgot his name. He made a couple of videos on becoming an Android Developer with Kotlin. I noticed he doesn't make videos on Android Development no more. Also, maybe it is me, but I no longer see his videos on the channel? He inspired me to become Android developer, and I really enjoyed watching his content. Tell him to make more videos.

And what elective course would be the best(Artificial Intelligence Computer Graphics Computer Networks Data Mining Database Management Systems Human-Computer Interaction Information Security Mobile Application Development Object-Oriented Programming Software Engineering Theory of Automata Web Development) and why?
Go ahead and talk like that. Be a "bro." People will play along like you're cool. But when you walk away they will feel that you are an unprofessional clown.
That's what I used to do. But I stopped. Just go ahead. Start with anything. Once you start, you will not be able to stop. Come back to these videos then. Nothing goes to waste. Good luck, bro!
AI-written code isn't going to need encapsulation, or extendable modules, teams or any of that. Those are conventions that make code manageable for humans. It's not going to have conventions, and it's going to be multiple orders of magnitude more efficient, bug free, and take less time to write it. When robotics catches up, we're all hosed.
@@IffyEdem instead of requiring 50 devs to Maintain the system you'll only need 10 due to AI and robotics and efficiency.... junior dev will have hard time getting hired if even old devs started losing their jobs due to AI, AI can assist with repetitive tasks, code generation, and debugging, etc... the same project that took weeks and whole team to complete might takes few hours and just one dev... everyone else can retire and pursue new careers

I believe those days are gone, and I think it is a disservice to people to lead them on like those days are still here....nowadays I would only recommend someone get into programming if they really enjoy it and/or have a talent for it and/or really know the time commitment it takes to learn all the multifarious things it takes to be a SE. Just to encourage someone to go to a bootcamp etc (when they are not really the programming type) in this climate I think is a real waste of time and money. Most devs burnout in later mid-life. Also, learning React as this video suggests is dime a dozen skill, you are not going to differentiate yourself by just doing that...Hard core backend folks...I think that is a different story but imo, you have to be really smart/analytical to be a good backend dev.

I currently trying to freelance as a web developer using JavaScript and React. It’s easier said than done, but if it was easy everyone else would be doing it I guess
Solo freelance web dev? 😱
@@VaelVictushow's it going now? Any leads?
How long did it take you to be proficient in React?
I know the basics of Javascript.
Remember guys this job outlook came before the advancement of ai. Something I’m sure they were not factoring that time. I’m sure the prediction is off some.
Interesting video, but I feel like it had a lot of fluff as it pertains to the junior developer.
The video did not speak to the real concerns and realities confronting junior Devs coming into the tech industry. The demand for more experience than a junior can have, and that's even if they want a junior. Everybody is a junior now according to the industry unless you have 5 or more years experience.
Its not about the experience its what you put on the table, Projects do freelancing too
Cool video. Software development is not going 20% faster than the average. Its 5 times faster thats 500%
1:27 that doctor is teacher, chef, musician, carpenter and due to the trend jobs, is likely he becomes into a machine electrical cloud senior engineer 👨🏻💻. A truly example to take into consideration!
I'm self-taught. It's very hard to get a job without professional experience in this market now.
Stop applying to large companies and apply to small companies and start ups under 100 employees. Network actually talk to the people at these companies. Go to meetups etc.
@@LifeWithRilla easier said than done; especially since too many want to be FAANG haha
Look at government jobs, or even small and tiny companies
@@IffyEdem I could give a crap about faang. My motivation is to have more money in my pocket. It’s funny because they all compete to go to SF or NYC and work in office and I could be earning 105k at a small company living and working out of Thailand and at the end of the year I’ll have more money saved working for a small company than these people at faang companies working in SF or NYC lol. My motivation is to be a digital nomad and live and work abroad. I don’t care about faang at all I care about my future and having a quality of life I can’t get in the USA without paying like 4 to 5k a month in rent abroad
@@LifeWithRilla Doesn't make a difference. Where do you think candidates who have CS degrees and/or experience are applying? Only large companies? Certainly not. You have programmers with over a year of actual experience and CS degrees who are now applying to junior/entry-level roles. They are willing to take a pay cut because it's the only way they can get a job in programming at the moment.

You don't need hope, you need an accurate assessment of the job market in 2024.
But what about all those no-code tools popping up all over the place ... seems like a slow death of our profession to me ...
You just made me more motivated with how i learn coding right now. Thank you so much
I've a mid developer and I've never seen a market like this, I just cant get a job, I was made redundant in March, together with half the company.. but since then it's been a nightmare to even get a interview.
@plumbing1Calling bull on that. Yes, networking is important, and maybe you know ONE self-taught person who probably also helped a company fill a quota.
But multiple? No. Don't try to make it sound easier than it is.

I took the time to look up this company just to say the marketing sucks. The commercial is trash and annoying. Do better. 😊
Beep beep boop bop
I mean he's right@@devslopes
I love programming but man I’m broke as hell!
lol
IDK, I hear too many we devs complaining how it's almost impossible to get a job nowadays, unless you're the creme de la creme of web devs.
It's very superficial coverage based on not accurate data.
Im really thinking about just finding some random normal job even if I only have 1 yo left to finish my community college degree because the job market rn
You are not talking about Degrees they are always asking for that
Hey Craig! In web development we have help landed students jobs that did not have college degrees. We’ve found that employers care more about experience rather than a degree!
@@devslopes In 2023, you won't get experience if you don't have a CS degree or...experience. Most employers won't interview self-taught programmers when they have 100+ applicants with CS degrees and/or experience; they don't have the time and it's highly unlikely that self-taught candidates would be a better fit for the organization. It doesn't matter how great your portfolio looks (since they won't even check it out) or what bootcamp you graduated from.
@@Matt-m3y-r4uyeah I'm not gonna waste my time with this shit anymore seeing how hard it is to get into tech. I'ma have to brainstorm what to do now.
@@Matt-m3y-r4uthis. when everyone is doing the same thing, that’s when it’s over.
I'm still learning to code, all my colleagues who are engineers have been freaking out about job shortages (in Australia). There is 3.5k jobs in the country, 800+ in Melbourne alone. Plenty of which are junior or low experience. The worlds still our oyster friends. Don't listen to the fear mongers. Diversity hiring is on the decline so company's are looking for real talent again. We'll be fine!
this should be top comment. I suspect that those who fear are the ones that want to have a 6 figure salary after doing a 50h bootcamp or Udemy course. For the rest who really want to enter they will spend learning all the time and using the tools to learn and produce code faster.
I am some kind of support/security engineer that was showing one of my colleagues how chatGPT can be used and how it can provide you with a bad result if you not understand what you are doing. chatGPT and the rest of LLMs can replace only the useless people that are in the industry, those who entered just for the salary and the only thing that they do once entered the field is just slacking.
I saw a lot of friends spend 20 to 30h per week having a normal job till they managed to enter the field, with discipline.
Another recommendation is to learn soft skills in order to been able to sell yourself to the HR and pass the interviews.
dude, soft skills are bs, nobody cares. they can’t know your soft skills before meeting and have a conversation with you.
what sound is he using with his video sounds nice??
The worst thing was I started learning coding and jumped to coding world, for newbies leave it as soon as possible, instead open a shop, you will get better life
That is a lot of wishful thinking man. I hope that what you are saying will be the case. On the other end I do not believe that AI will not take over. This is just naive.
Be careful who you take your advice from and make sure you research them

What about cross platform mobile app development especially react Native developer
What I would recommend is getting into Native app development. The reason behind that is you are more likely to get a job as a native app developer. Learning languages like Kotlin/Swift

Freelancing?
@@tasneemayham974 both freelancing and full time employed
I'm a doctor and just looking at how fast AI develops, I think it will infiltrate healthcare as well. So maybe a hundred years from now (or probably in 5-10 years LOL), doctors may not be as needed as today.
Y'all will always be needed but AI will be a tool to help you do you work faster and better by eliminating a percentage of human error
It just needs arms and hands.
And again some bs JavaScript promotion video 😂 I'm from country in Europe And because of all this fake hype and thousands of videos to learn js market here is so oversaturated then knowing js now counts like you never was coding in your life 😂 Everyone knows it. Salaries when drastically down(because anyone can do that job now) and on top of that no one even wanna offer jobs with this skills(some jobs of course exist) But it's pretty much same hard like find a job with plain HTML only without experience
Nobody wants go hire juniors
Yeah self taught is a waste of time now
yep. time to move on to a different stuff(as a self taught guy myself. we’ve been fooled)
Work 1 month for free than.
where can I find good, honest, programers with the skills you state in the video? it's for an application I want to build. All suggestions are appreciated. I need a to build a team or find a full stack developer that is up to date and knowledgable of Ai, algos, etc. thanks
Finally a video with good news for me
I wanna become a web developer but while i was learning the basics ai entered the market and i got so much demotivated from that point
Take it from someone who was in the same shoes as you last year, I would get a degree if u have time, you could land a job with self taught/bootcamp but it’s extremely difficult
Dude ai should motivate you it makes things that would take days take only hours. It's like a personal tutor or mentor that you can conversation with and knows anything about technology. Don't be demotivated bro, get hyped!!
Don't learn web dev then
Any chance you could create a version of this video without the sh** and fu** dropped in there? I am a CTE teacher and I would like to use this for my programming class.
Their unprofessionalism is one reason I decided against them. It's not "cool bro." It's embarrassing.
Perfect time to learn COBAL.
AI will have a greater impact than the previous mini-revolution in programing but it will only delete your job if you don't learn to use the tool. The event I'm referring to is OOC. Object oriented coding was revolutionary and made it possible for one person to do the work of many.
Did object oriented programming do that? I don't know about that, seems like it complicated things quite a lot.
yeah oop is garbage. ai can do it 👍🏻
There is something wrong with this guys who tell you to pursue a career in software development. I mean they are creating more competence for themselves.
I'm in my 20s learning to be a programmer/coding, is it too late or not? I'm doubtful about my current age of 😊
I don'T Post comment a lot but This video Tellsss So Manyy Fvourite Things Matches My Hoppies
Bro, programming is not a short goal. It will take you at leats 2 years. Bro, it is reality. How ever programming it will never disApear.
Prpgramming is not about the language, but the systematic way of solving problems. There always be problems
Thanks brother jack we apperttiate that beacause as student in computer science we suuffer by disstraction and lot of people said YOU shouldnot learn programing cause AI but you give us a clear idea about it. i will sait again thank you JACKKKKKKKK .
I'm going to take advice from cauliflower ears...
What if he swears a lot and acts like a "bro?" Will that convince you?
Love the positive outlook and energy on this video!
Thank you Jake. I was really worried about the future of my career. You restore my hope. KEEP F***ING CODING :D
It doesn't matter what you start with. You will make lots of mistakes on the way. You won't know everything. Don't let that scare you. It's a continuous effort in learning. You will need to learn about all programming paradigms. Learn about the theoretical foundations in algorithms and math. Learn a bit about CS history and product/ technologies that evolved into standards. You will not only spend time coding but also with testing, requirements, design and architecture. You will learn how to work in teams. Etc.
You will end your career with different technologies compared to when you started. Engineering is about tradeoffs and finding solutions that match the problem. Beware of overengineering.
Thanks bro, great info. Its reasurring to know im on track! You've inspired me to keep going!

AI-written code isn't going to need encapsulation, or extendable modules, teams or any of that. Those are conventions that make code manageable for humans. It's not going to have conventions, and it's going to be multiple orders of magnitude more efficient, bug free, and take less time to write it. When robotics catches up, we're all hosed.
Maintainers are needed. So you’ll still need devs to maintain the systems and even code when the robotics malfunction
@@IffyEdem instead of requiring 50 devs to Maintain the system you'll only need 10 due to AI and robotics and efficiency.... junior dev will have hard time getting hired if even old devs started losing their jobs due to AI, AI can assist with repetitive tasks, code generation, and debugging, etc... the same project that took weeks and whole team to complete might takes few hours and just one dev... everyone else can retire and pursue new careers
