there were no tech layoffs in Japan, infact they are very desperate for new engineers, mid engineers and senior engineers. so when people say the market is bad its usually just the market in the west that people are speaking off. how about korea ?
@@bjni i heard that Japan poured a lot of money into tech and startups on 2024. is that true? anyways, In Korea, there are jobs but less than before because economy is bad. not dev, but all jobs
@@letphil IDK, there are plenty of jobs and I havent heard about tons of money into tech and startups, even just regular companies are having a hard time finding engineers. This "economy is bad, you cant find a job as a dev" sounds like a western talking point. as I said, If your target audience is people abroad e.g America or Europe then yeah sure I get it. their economy for devs is bad.
It's correlated to the Section 174 of the TCJA change that begun in 2022 > required to capitalize and amortize R&E expenditures > no longer immediately deduct these costs in the year incurred > Domestic R&E Expenses: Must be amortized over a 5-year period > Foreign R&E Expenses: Must be amortized over a 15-year period > amortization begins at the midpoint of the taxable year in which the expenditures are paid or incurred tldr: taxes ruined the industry and the job market
I'm a senior and i kinda disagree with you, the industry starts to become very toxic > you're asked to know a lot > things go way to fast > middle-management don't understand shit > middle-management can't keep up > middle-management only push buzzwords > therefore middle-management keep squeezing us > therefore middle-management keep taking bad decisions It starts to become way too taxing, the youth still have a lot of energy but now i see people with less than 6-8 of experience completely burned, they have a hard time recovering the hard work that is asked nowadays. Too much pressure and too much close deadlines by people that are NEVER accountable for their mistakes and bad decisions. The tech industry is in trouble. It is unsustainable. Skilled software developers remain in high demand, but the issue is that many developers lack the necessary skills. Software development is a challenging and intricate profession. It often takes a decade of hands-on experience with the right projects just to begin understanding the depth of what you’ve gotten into. Staying relevant requires a lifetime of continuous learning, as technology, paradigms, and architectural patterns evolve rapidly. If you're not willing to dedicate significant time each month to honing your skills, this might not be the right career for you. Every few years, clients start to realize that many of the developers they’ve hired are not up to par, leading to waves of layoffs-something that seems to occur every 6-7 years. We’re likely in one of those cycles now. However, this phase doesn’t last long; the demand for IT services soon surges again because high-performing IT is crucial in today's economy. Developers are then rehired without much scrutiny, much to the frustration of truly skilled professionals, and the cycle repeats, eventually leading to another round of layoffs. The real challenge isn’t just the years of experience but the fact that every five years, almost everything you know, apart from some basics, becomes obsolete due to new technologies and approaches. The pressure is relentless-you never feel like you know enough. A developer with just three years of experience could know more about the latest tech than you, simply because they started with it, but they too will be outdated in another two years. Imagine if surgeons had to relearn basic procedures every five years because the scalpel was replaced by a new tool that’s just slightly faster. This profession feels like an endless rat race, and the only real upside used to be the decent pay. Now, in some countries, you can earn more as a courier. It’s hard to see why anyone would want to join this field today. I think we need all need to have a discussion about it.
Build your own shit, no need to work for a company that will take the lions share. Domains are cheap, hosting is cheap, build, create, strategize, launch.
JavaScript is very easy language to learn... words of senior developer... LOL. JavaScript is one of the most hardest languages to master like ever. Why? Because dude made it as one week challenge in 1995. And because of this and thingy called don't break the web and many many added things (to language and ecosystem) now we have a monster language to deal with.
@@JohnLorac thank you for your comment. it’s definitely a very large ecosystem. and community is very large. i feel javascript has the most documentation on the internet language wise
Awesome content. I just got an entry-level job as an IT engineering project manager. I don't think they knew what the role exactly does. Since its a new role they created for me 😅. I'm so thankful but I feel like I have no mentorship so its nice that you have content that helps me with that gap. Subscribed!!
Dude, please, could you tell me what did you study? I was thinking about going for web or mobile development. I already builded some websites, but I'm afraid It's too saturated. Could you give me a tip?
that's why i took AI engineering for clg, bcs it has more scope for the future hopefully im kinda skeptic about if i will get a job or not and the begginer salaries are like too low and my clg is not like tier 1 clg...idk now i feel scared
thank you for your comment. i wouldnt feel scared. you seem smart. and if AI engineering as a background you can do many things. get experience and grow. yes salary might feel low. but also gaining experience. wait it out a year and demand what you want.
I would say this once and for all, to the chat who are panicked, anyone who says, AI will replace programmers, have not sat in front of a production code in their life. Or to be less harsh, have not touched anything more than HTML/CSS/JS. No one would put generate pseudo code in a production base. Not if you want to be bombarded with shareholder's rage.
I agree, I kind of even wish it could replace, haha. I've recently been studying smart contract programming with Solidity and been using GPT as an assistant for the problems that I came across. But then I decided to build a new project and told myself: That's it, I'm going to "cheat" full speed ahead - I'll ask Chat GPT 4 turbo (I'm even paying the subscribtion) to write the whole contract and tests for it from scratch and hopefully I'll finish it within 3 hours.....Oh how wrong I was :D It took me a few days 4 hours a day to debug, research on my own and discuss it with GPT and even hint it to where it made mistakes a few times, as if I was pair programming with my intern. I hope it'll replace me tomorrow, so I will just build a business in a day, instead of look for a job :D
