Dudes, come out of the mindset that you will do only one job like our previous generation did. Be comfortable in the thought that at your 40 you might be doing different things altogether. Stop asking questions like will ai replace us or i want career which won't replace me. There's nothing like that in knowledge economy.

AI replacing us

Software Engineer

AI replacing us- Grapevine

Let’s say If, A big if, AI becomes self sufficient to do the job of a backend developer, like it’s able to write basic crud apps, simple system design stuff it can do and slowly it keeps getting better at debugging and stuff. (It should not need debugging tho) 

What can I as a backend developer do, to keep myself relevant in the market and always be able to find a new job?

How to stay relevant post AI takeover?

So, me and my good friend were casually discussing how crazy the job market is and how we are unable to get into a good job, especially when she has over 3YoE and is really good at frontend web development.

She then casually asked me "Should we be really trying this hard to get into a job that we like, as I feel that AI will take over a big part of the IT workforce in the next 5 years?"

Though we did have a friendly argument, I strongly believe that it still needs more time than that bcz IT jobs, especially we developers, are not just limited to coding. And given the fact that OpenAI is learning off of GitHub repos, which are basically code examples are averagely written code, not well written proficient ones. 

But, in General, what do you think about AI and how it is gradually dominating the IT sector ?

Do you really think AI will take over in the next 5 years ?

Yes there are abstract answers but can someone please clarify how to and what to do, also layoff fear is all around us. Please drop your valuable advice.

Thanks in advance.

AI will replace techies, So what to do?

Investor

It’s clear that companies won’t need engineers 10 years from now. 

They’ll just need people who know what to make. Who to sell to. How to sell to. At what price. 

This will be the great commoditization of Software development

Take it or leave it.

[Hot Take] AI will make SWEs redundant, PMs and Marketers will become the most important job

This is an L take for someone who works at Google
It is supremely obvious that SWEs are about to enter the golden era of Software Engineering. We are easily foreseeing 2x-2.5x improvement in developer productivity rate. You should go touch some grass or else you will end up becoming PM guru who shills substandard-courses to poor kids.

Because AI will do it better and faster than you sooner or later. 

Looking at you consultants 👀

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I've been using GPT to do any task I pick up- write code, generating UI palettes, create and check legal docs, writing product copies etc. 

GPT-4 has aced all tests. Recently diagnoed a dog with an ailment better than vets. 

As a result, The only skill I feel like getting better at now is asking GPT questions. I don't see the point in learning anything new if it's all becoming redundant with generative AI. 

Anyone else who's in the same boat here?

Demotivated to learn any new skill after using GPT 4

Looking to know experiences of folks who went this path and are blissful with the renewed priorities in life.

I don't see 
-any hope or direction where my current scaleup startup I work at is going
-why I have to bear the brunt of yessmens of the ceos who are just collecting paychecks - before they themselves can go solo as consultant/content creator/leader.
-point in playing lottery with another startup job switch of landing in another similar environment
-point of ruining my prime late 20s social life to collect pay checks when I have enough f*uck you money
-future of work will only need me do 15hrs/week in half a decade because of AI and blackmirror like world.
-poiny of current career trajectory as currney job will be replaced to need 80% less manpower - again genAI stuff..

So as I embark, want to know more stories and rides both successfull and failures by your own subjective sense!

Quitting job and exploring solopreneur opportunities - share your experience!

Everyone in tech that I talk to seems to evangelize AI too much. On the other hand, when I talk to non-tech folks they seem to think that AI is the most evil stuff and ruins artistic and musical expressionism. 

What do you think?

[Thread] Will AI take our job or make us better?

We are seeing a lot of jobs being eaten by AI and the unemployment rate is getting higher and higher everyday. What would the future look like?

What is the Future of Jobs? What will the next 10 Years look like?

Will AI eventually take our job? 😅

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

The work environment, culture, challenges, opportunities, considering the use AI and how it's impacting the industry and overall sentiment associated with being employed in such a setting.

Currently, how does it feel to work in an IT company in India?

Technical Lead

I've turned 27, roughly 3yoe earning 50k which is low but I'm upskilling. Currently due to layoffs, AI news and just a very unhealthy state of IT things are getting very depressing and I personally feel like I've already lost or missed in life. 
People are planning to get married around me everything is so sudden. 

People of grapevine, what advice would you want to give people like me who feel lost. 
Any general advice such as financial planning, lifestyle changes or just tech advice any advice which has helped you to live peacefully and comfortably would be greatly appreciated.

FOMO in tech

Advice : Please stop with the tutorial and enrolling in courses after course. Doesn't take you anywhere. Been there and done that.  
  
 You will end up with stupid clones which does seem like a value add in your resume. It's just there in everyone's resume.  
  
 Build one project, one solid project, maybe something to do with MFE. Not CRA react app but something with webpack if you prefer. Maybe a ecom app with seperate mfe for order and billing. Show the interaction between them, post on Twitter while you build. Share insights and maybe you will end up being in a recruiter's eye.

Frontend Engineer

AI is unlike any other past technology revolution. It is going to make cost of intelligence trending toward zero. 

Going by exponential curve of AI growth, in next 3-4 years, we are going to have an AI model which can code better than 95% of coders... 

Deep mind already has model Alphacode which can code better than 50% of competitive coders. 

People are living in fool's paradise by thinking that AI will create massive amount of job.... 

It won't because it will make cost of intelligence near to zero making coding, analyst, consultant, product management job redundant.... 

What takes 100 coders to build a product won't take more 10 coders in few years from now...

Crisis coming for White collar job

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks

Jobs which will be created /not impacted by AI

Software Developer

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Young SWE start with double digit salaries, while someone in Non tech will need 5-10 years to reach that level
Even the business roles, the direct revenue generating roles don't pay good traditionally

Funny how techies think everyone gets paid similar
A lot of it changed with startups trying to acquire talent, but not sustainable
Because the market simply doesn’t pay

How do non tech compete with this skewed demand-supply chain?

Tech and Non tech Pay Partiality is something no one talks about

Engineers deserve their pay.  
  
 1 - The code that engineers write are assets of a company. The code might keep running and serving customers for years after a engineer has probably even left the company.  
 On the other hand, the work that most non-tech folks do are not assets, but an operational expense.  
  
 Companies don't derive benefit of a non-tech even beyond the same month the work is performed.  
  
 The difference is the same as painting your house vs brushing your teeth. You don't paint your house everyday but you do brush your teeth. Painting here is a long lasting asset, adds to the value of the house. Brushing is necessary work but with ultimately perishable benefits.  
  
 2 - Code that engineers write provide non-linear benefits. A team of 30 in Zerodha were able to serve 3-5x more customers in the pandemic. This same scalability does not apply to non-tech majdoori. Business has scaled? Hire more heads. Not with code. 
  
  
 Obviously above does not apply to senior managerial folks who build and architect the organisation, set the cultures, create processes. The impact of their work is long lasting and non-linear. But work of junior business non-tech folks - well, they're getting paid as much as the value they create. Low leverage, low pay. Coding is very high leverage. 
  
 Before you jump on me, I worked for sales in years. Then shifted to product. Above two points are a reality whether you like it or not.
