don't care - stay in your containment.

You think this losers are correct about this prediction lol. Or this is just performative negativity

finishing a cs degree rn is hilarious bc my professors no longer give a shit, my classmates no longer give a shit, nobody gives a shit but were all pretending to go thru the motions as if the careers we thought we were going into 5 yrs ago havent been permanuked into oblivion

You're cooked because your demoralized. The CS content is just as good and useful. Read a book from the 60s on computers and you'll see that it's an industry with massive churn in existing roles. That doesn't mean headcount will go down. Even if most code is slopped in the future, CS fundamentals will still give you an edge.

2026 the year of giving up

i already have a cs job, not even a bad one, and i'm more or less in the same mode. i don't expect to still be in the industry by the end of 2027. there will definitely still be jobs but my heart is not in it to be in the tiny percentile that will retain them.

(meant to reply to >>32687 )

there will still be jobs because for millenials because recent graduates will be totally useless and unable to do anything that doesn't involve chatGPT. it's kind of insane if you think about it, that they had the pandemic that fucked up high school, then they had LLMs in college to replace all the critical thinking skills they weren't able to acquire during the pandemic, it's the perfect storm. we're going to have a crop of professionals who can't do anything without an ipad and $400 monthly subscriptions. the west has completely destroyed the brains of an entire generation, and for what?

and before you say "learning is useless" or whatever, the upper echelon of the tech industry is specifically sending their kids to schools that have low-tech learning programs. doing critical thinking really will become a class differentiator, your kids will be taught math by some chatgpt nightmare bot and assisted by some guy who barely knows how to read and write, this is the future until the chinese easily roll us over after americans become too stupid to dress themselves correctly

IT work is not going to be automated by AI, but it is going to be outsourced to people in India and China who do the work with AI assistance/supervision for a fraction of the pay. Even without AI this has been a long time coming, IT people have just refused to acknowledge this reality and desperately want to believe that their jobs are somehow the exception to the forces of global economics, that nobody except bourgeoisie white Europeans could ever learn JavaScript and their jobs would be secure forever.
