    This video just goes to show why some people shouldn't be making content in the tech space. Spreading this kind of false information can alter the way aspiring programmers think. You're essentially making people question if all the effort they are putting into this field is pointless. No amount of credibility gives you the right to strip people of their title as a developer, even if it is React development, people still went through an immense amount of work and effort to get where they are. You point out that people shouldn't learn how to code because it isn't what it used to be. Keep in mind that most people looking to transition into the tech industry aren't looking to become the next Mark Zuckerberg. They are looking to live a better and more fulfilling lifestyle, and by saying "to become a programmer -- is like becoming a janitor." You're taking away peoples aspirations and the hours/years of work they put into learning a skill like coding. My only wish is that people see this video as an example as to why just because channels have a massive following, doesn't mean that they are people you should look up to. You are strictly looking to make money off of this video -- and by doing so you are altering peoples minds with such a sensitive subject as this. If this sounds harsh -- that's the point.

    I gave up on coding as a career because I noticed that most coders are cold-hearted ,very socially awkward people that are difficult to talk to. Many lack a full specter of human emotion, and if you manage to persuade some of them to have a drink with you, they will chase away any women that are around you by saying the wrong thing. The idea of spending 30 years working with people like that gave me the chills.

      You have to simplify your preferences, watch the market and adapt. Enjoyment of life doesn’t solely come from getting so financially high, but primarily from doing things. So programming preference = problem solving, logic, introversion, technical knowledge, creativity. That can be transformed. Most importantly knowledge gained in this field won’t just inflate, it shapes thinking.

    my dentist once told me after around 10 years of studying that studying dentistry is not worth it and after 8 years of working he hates it , well now after 8 years of work he is getting a lot of money and lives comfortably , my point is this the typical point of view for any one who spent years in the same field, they feel it is not worth it ,
    so it is not worth it for you , but for us it does , and we won't always be employees , after sometime we can do our own business .
    the field will always be there , but in different ways . it is changing but not dying. so we need to cope with it over time

      The medicine field could also be replaced by AI at this point, except for what requires physicality like surgeries. Still, it has not. Why? Convenience. If one wants to be a programmer in 2024, what they need to do is research skills in demand, learn then, prove that they can code them, and be patient. Internet and the "fast life" culture has changed everything for the worse, I truly mean it. What also changed is that, in the past, younger people used to learn the skills of their families and earn a living from them. If your father was a farmer, you would probably end up as a farmer too. Another gargantuan issue is the fact that menial jobs barely earns someone a living anymore, so you have the young struggling to date, have a family, own a home and become independent. The psycopathy and stupidity of the previous generations will result in mass chaos in the future. Young men are especially violent if they don't have what they need. But people will keep on living while pretending that others are not struggling to live aswell, and so crime, confusion, and uncertainty will plague set in, more and more on society. It does not help that the elites treats its voters as tax cattle.

      Very underrated comment right here. I believe you hit the nail on the head. I always loved the idea of coding but was very intimidated with all the coding languages out there (btw i'm 40). But ever since GPT4 came out i actually been building stuff... like real working stuff. My jaw dropped when i suddenly over night "felt" like i was a programmer with the help of AI of course. Anyway, pardon my rambling.... I believe more people will get into programming because of how easy it's becoming. It will attract more attention because building your own custom "Tools" has become a reality to anyone who's able to use natural language to communicate what they want to these AI tools. And they are getting better at a faster pace than it would take the average person to get a degree in computer science. Programming IS in demand now more than ever before. You can still make money from it, you just need to sell it differently. Just my 2 cents.

    Like I always say, if learning programming doesn't give me money, it will at least give me the power to create anything I want from scratch. If you want to make money, code for yourself, create some SaaS or PaaS and sell it, or create a store that works better than any other, find a niche and satisfy that niche. Problem solved! LoL

    There is one major reason for learning to code proper. Write your own Bitcoin transactions. Just think, never be held to ransom ever again to wallets that might be banned from your country or have security vulnerabilities, or not support the type of transactions that you want. No need to keep up with security alerts and firmware updates and hacks on hardware wallets. Just do the signing on a secure cold storage system, using your own code, then submit the signed transaction onto any web service that offers broadcasting to the Bitcoin network. Even if you make an error, so long as your private key is not revealed and you didn't send to the wrong address then all is well. You will be part of a tiny percentage of people that can do this.

    It’s all perspectival, isn’t it? From my perspective plenty of companies are still asking for Websites, SEO, CRM integrations etc. If you can leverage a follower base and live like an influencer more power to you, but this video isnt really prescriptive in any way towards that end, so it comes across more as a ‘flex’. I think there is good forward looking insight though and I am totally in agreement about the media layer, but someone needs to keep the engine running. It’s really just the same old story of underpaid worker vs overpaid celebrity at the end of the day

    These arguments may feel new, but this type of rhetoric has been around forever-e.g., your time has passed, they’re enslaving you, etc. Most of the viewpoints presented here are biased and loaded with gross generalizations. Nearly everyone who tries to predict the future fails. I do enjoy your flat display of hubris-maybe it’s just dry humor. This one gave me a good laugh, and the presentation is uniquely entertaining. That said, the tech world is very much experiencing an adapt or die situation; perfect for innovation. Just because you can’t imagine a new future that hasn’t been created yet it doesn’t mean we should all quit our careers, become social influencers, or go tour the world. I commend you for finding a way to do what you love, but you’re presenting a very narrowminded set of options. New opportunities for coders and designers will emerge. We will carry on, in one form or another. Happy holidays!

      Except my keychron keyboard and likely his can be programmed with VIA and do have a numpad . I don't have arrow keys or numpad that physically can be seen, it is on another layer, which means my arrow keys and numpad are in the same place as my normal keys, what I am trying to say is the way my keyboard is setup, I never have to move my hands and everything is in easy reach and you have everything you need. Layer 1 makes my number row the F keys, layer 1 has my arrow keys, work macros, numpad, and on and on. Layer 0 has the normal alphabet, except I made my pinky delete and moved the colon key. I also made capslock delete, etc.
