Al has eviscerated the low skill software market

[Jason Voorhees]

Brutal. I was having a conversation about this with friend today and the low skill software market is fried rn. AI has completely eviscerated it. In tech we call those gigs the stepping stones. Like low skill dev work. You know the CRUD apps, basic UI/UX, frontend work, internal dashboards, basic backend, the copy paste scripts, the weekend bug fix tickets. People learn the codebase, ship something ugly but functional, and slowly level up or stay there if they wanted something low stress, low effort. Not everyone can be some FAANG engineer you know but AI has completely finished them now.


People misunderstand that there isn't demand for freshers there is demand for freshers. Because it's easier for companies to train freshers on AI tools and modern practices than someone older..Major companies have already declared they'll be ramping up hiring for them but only for the ones who are AI literate and properly good at what they do and actually understand systems at a high level. Being mediocre journey man won't work now.

It's only going to get worse from here


You either take huge risks and try to become wealthy or just opt out of the system entirely

AI has basically widened the gap. The ones who were getting paid well, will be paid even more and the ones who were barely getting by will now prepare for a lay off

ye

fun fact comps are paying decent bucks for stuff like training voice agents, llm etc ( literal prompting)

but they aint ready to pay for testing / qa and shit

cus stuff like that is getting outdated

infact they even willing to pay 200k for gtm automation than hiring a 3yr exp candidate in sales

 

[bourgeoizyzz]

Eh, I'm guessing this will all be declared fake and gay within the next few years

can i earn prompting from the slums of aryavart or is it only a pinkie nation priveledge?

 

[Muneco]

juniors dont exist anymore, junior dev with ai = mid level engineer which are more in demand than senior devs

 

[Glorious King]

dunno bout the pay

but they do hire indians/philipinos/nigerians etc for low wages

so u could do that as a side hustle imo

 

[6foot3copecel]

Hope AI takes every job and we will just live in a happy world controlled by Palantir

Make account on Turing/Mercor etc

Dravidians might be the master race of South Asia Ngl

We will have AI wives and shit

 

[Jager]

Jfl if you think ai wives are worth losing your freedom and being enslaved

We will have AI wives and shit

 

[6foot3copecel]

Jfl if you think ai wives are worth losing your freedom and being enslaved

Jk but at the same time its irreversible and we cant prevent our loss of freedom anyway

 

[async]

medium skill sw has been solved as well if you have a basic understanding of frameworks and programming architecture you can write some good programs almost entirely with ai

That's what they want you to believe. They don't even have that much power over us.

 

[masai jumps enjoyer]

damn im gonna major at cs most likely, gotta pay attention to the current ai trends it seems because the last time i used it for something more advanced than as an alternative to google search is when i made deefakes of my schoolstacies using a locally run stable diffusion a few years ago

A CS degree is still worth it and tech is not dead there's still a lot of scope and money to be made but do realize that the competition is higher now and you will have to do things above your course material to stay competitive
