I can’t do this anymore. I have so much passion for this field and I hate it being killed by recruiters that feel like they’re robotically programmed asking the same redundant questions that’s answered already on my resume.
I'm with you. I gave up. Got a cs degree just to experience the soulessness of the industry and its broken people and practices. Lucky I've found an alternative. Cs degrees are a scam now if you ask me.
@Borninit384 let's just say when the ai hype started, I was looking for anything that would give me first movers advantage. It wasn't easy, but I found a little niche that many over thought and it has allowed me to make a meager passive income that is enough to cover my bills. Not as much as I would be making at a software job. But the hours are 6 hours a week compared to 40+ hours a week. And I don't contribute to these corporate monsters destroying society.
Beware of big tech segmenting and specializing you. With personal projects you wear all kind of hats and take on all kinds of role. With work, you get assigned one set of task, you deep dive and become efficient but it lacks breadth, the big picture, and that doesn't help when changing roles/jobs. I worked as a hardware engineer for 7 years and last week after some job searching and soul reflection, I realize I became too segmented. I already listed a set of skills I plan to acquire, step by step. And will ask for projects that can get me exposed to those new skills, even if it's 10% exposure I be happy to get my toe in the water.
I worked for a startup. They refused to share equity (on paper, but promised us they would if we were ever acquired.. we were a "family", after all!) and then sold the software we built for eight figures. None of us saw a dime of it. I would never do it again without some proof of equity set in stone.. but it was one of my first jobs out of college and I was naive enough to believe them.
Dude, that sucks! I'm sorry! For all those devs out there reading this, you also have to be careful about the other end of the spectrum. MOST startups will fail and when they DO give you equity, they will combine that with a lower salary. Make sure you're getting paid in your salary what you are worth, and always consider equity as lottery tickets! @nukemall3678 would have hit the lottery had he had equity.
sad part is, you wouldnt get the job if you wanted proof, as there is always a less experienced person who will not ask for proof, perhaps you were that guy after they rejected the person asking for proof :D
AI wont replace engineers or even junior engineers. It will replace people that stagnate and do not learn how to use it. I could not be happier for the advent of AI assisted coding. I was always a slow coder. Now I get to focus on my strengths: Solving hard technical problems (which A.I can never do in full scope), system design, software engineering, collaborating etc etc
Considering most things AI does today were considered "impossible" previously, you're just taking the "god in the gaps" argument and turning it into "seniors in the gaps." Everything AI touches, humans become second best sooner or later. If humans are able to outperform AI to infinity, why hasn't anyone beaten an AI in chess for 3 decades?
@@MrVohveli chess is not a great comparison, it’s a known and limited game space. Also not playable by LLMs, the problem and AI application are different. Not sure you can make a direct comparison to something like software engineering that has an unlimited set of rules, problems and is not a board game.
@@ZergbitSoftware doesn't have unlimited rules? Just a reminder that in 100 years we went from making a turning test to making AI that can beat the turing test. Thats like the lifespan of 1 generation and you saying you can't possible imagine a world where we could make an AI think or atleast be able to solve problems on the next 50 years? You are claiming engineering which is just using the rules and tools of physics to solve problems can never be fully automated? Like don't get me wrong the current reserach master and phd engineers solve aren't going away anytime soon nor are the jobs that you can get with these positions. But saying never is wild since we went from the first trasistor to an LLM thats quite decent in just 72 years and with the amount of money that is hoing into AI right now it feels really ignorant to say "AI can never do this". Like dude we went from cleverbot to chatgpt in 7 years
It's a provocative video to be sure, but I have over 40+ years of development skill and knowledge. I can code for Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and virtually everything else. I know more languages than I can list, seeing as I pretty well stopped keeping track when the number got north of 50 or 60, I forget. I never had any problem finding a new job until I turned 50. What used to take days now takes MONTHS. So as to your thesis, that it's a senior-only job market, my experience surely says otherwise.
same, I have 25 years of infrastructure engineering experience working on unix, linux, windows, and network protocols. I've aged out, no one will hire me anymore. As such i threw in the towel and now work at a car dealership as a vehicle advisor for automotive check-in for vehicle repair. Once i hit 45 it was over, and frankly taking a job for 60k and working IT hours with 25 years of experience is just not worth my time. But, i am 100% with you, dedicated most of my life learning this stuff to get too old where kids don't want to work with you anymore..
Isn't this the point he is making? Building something for the market yourself and set it out to sail. Don't let this get into your mind rather keep evolving, you are not expendable.
@@designhub360customapparel It's actually quite a balancing act. I had a consulting business on the side for a long time as well, so if I listed every place I worked, every job I had, my resume would easily be in the dozens of pages. I keep it trimmed to three pages with only the last few jobs and mention the totals up front in an "Executive Summary" section. It's doubly hard because I've had about seven careers during those decades, depending on how you count. Software development has always ended up being a part of them in one way or another, but I end up having a minimum of four resumes on hand at all times: software developer/manager/director, DevOps developer/manager/director, product marketing, and then an academic CV as well (I've been a professor of philosophy and of computer science at various times). It's genuinely hard to manage the resume. Which to my mind, along with some of the things I've heard from HR departments, makes a strong argument that age discrimination is DEFINITELY a thing in the software industry.
This is a really solid take. I started my first job as a SWE last year as a self taught dev but that only lasted 8 months til I got laid off. I work as a data analyst now though and I love it. Skills in programming can really carry over to a lot of different tech jobs.
@@ivanolivas22 I have an undergrad degree in business, some tech experience, a dev portfolio & I’m pursuing a master of science in data analytics. I transferred to a data analyst opening at my company after applying/interviewing. Basically got my foot in the door, did a good job at the initial job I was hired for, did some networking, aced the interviews & accepted an offer

Your videos are both motivating and knowledgeable. Keep your head down, work on projects people want, even if it's just yourself. Simple but impactful. Please make more videos and you deserve more views per video!
As a senior dev... I found this really insightful and valuable. I really agree with your analogy on the candy vs broccoli balance. As someone who's gone too hard in both categories at different times in my career... finding a good balance of both is hard to do but really really important.
When A company ask I mentor 2 college grade. One asked if he should learn as many languages as he can or focus on 1. I told him. Eventually you want to be a T developer. BUT, to become a T Developer. You need to begin as an I developer. Stick to one thing and learn it super well. Once you get comfortable, Learning a 2nd, 3rd.... isn't a big deal. If you choose to be a T, before being an I developer. You're a " _ ". Junior dev in everything is still a junior dev. Knowing more when you don't even understand one well will not be helpful.
Ever since I started self studying ML, my minds been running with a crazy amount of startup ideas. Your video was just the inspiration needed. I think it's time my ideas take a leap into reality. Thanks, mate :)
This is a surprisingly good video. Especially the script kiddie comparison. I’ve been saying that AI is great but could really enable this problem and many won’t know the fundamentals, relying on AI to generate the solution.. Thanks for sharing man
I don't know what is used to train AI, but I reckon a lot of it are basic tutorials on the internet. So using AI to solve a coding problem only makes you slightly faster than doing a google search and reading those same tutorials. It's not going to solve complex coding projects that is hidden from public access. I suppose it could start digging into open source github repositories, but that opens up a whole nother can of worms.
Nah Bro it doesn't work to learn just one thing really well. The skills and requirements for a job these days are insane. Usually ask way too many skills and the list includes (networking, windows, linux, kubernetes, docker, AWS, Azure, Google stuff, NIST, ISO 27001, splunk, wireshark, nmap, vulnerabiltiy management, risk management, project management, ethical hacking) to name a few. Every single of those topics could be a single job and requires a lot of time, resources, money and experience to get "keep knowledge" on them.
Oh absolutely. And remember don't let a company segment you. It helps the company if you became an expert of one tool and can work 3 times the speed. But once that role/tool changes, how will you adapt. Always try to gain new skills, don't put all the eggs into one basket.
"Build something that people could actually use", love it. That is how I found your channel. I need to learn how to code, your channel has a ton of valuable information. I have patented something that is "something people could actually use" and just need to build it myself or get some help seems to be more the path after seeing your videos : ). I have used this patented idea in the workplace and have increased my productivity by 65% and out preformed my counter parts. Thank you for your guidance and videos. I am now a subscriber.
Never seen you before, but this video was excellent. Actually solid advice, good humor, great editing, and I legit thought you were sponsored by ozempic haha. Sort of confirms what I've been thinking for some time now. Very happy for the push to keep going in this direction.
Wow so true! I am a freelancer for 16 years and 30+ yeas of experience and I literally had only just landed a project at my old customer! Everybody says the need "good people" but nobody seems to want to actually hire and pay for them. It's really a werid market. Even during the 2008 crash it was easier to find jobs, they just paid less.
First off, I just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying your videos - they've been incredibly helpful in my journey as a fresher in software development. However, one challenge that I, along with other newcomers in the field, often face is figuring out how to effectively manage our time. We're constantly juggling between learning new concepts, brushing up on coding skills, diving into math fundamentals, and even squeezing in internships. Given your experience, I was wondering if you could share some insights and tips on how you personally manage your time in this dynamic environment. It would be immensely valuable to hear about your approach and any strategies you've found particularly effective.
VERY interesting take. At the opposite extreme, SQL has been paying my bills for 30 years. I will never be replaced by an AI or outsourced worker. Why? Because rather than add more tech skills with diminishing returns I got myself business qualifications. It may be fun to cut code in a comfort bubble, but the REAL value add , as you hint in the video, is to transcend from writing code to providing a business service.
You brought me so much peace about my future. This video was extremely insightful as someone who's new to coding. I loved your vibe, you earned a subscriber.
The "deeper" knowledge you are referring to is precisely what is missing from the current crop of LLM (Large Language Model) services that are coding assistants. Therefore, these LLM's absolutely do eliminate a lot of the lower level coding jobs that could be accinokusged by gluing together copied code. (Note, I still don't like that phenomenon because younger entry level coders need jobs!). However, it does elevate and empower the senior experienced coders with "deeper knowledge" because they know how to use the LLM to write more code faster and most importantly, know when the LLM generated coder is wrong, and generated code is frequently very wrong with the amount of problems found in the generated code code growing exponentially with the complexity of the coding task. God help us all though if/when they do move from the current "pattern regurgitation" phase the LLM's currently are in, to true automated reasoning with preferential autonomous agency. Then we are all screwed, senior dev or not.
I recognized you from the time I matched with you for a mentorship program (16weeksofinternship). I regret not going through with it. But I am glad to have found your channel!! I am one of those junior devs who got laid off last year and it's been a tough market but I am hopeful my hard work will pay off. I am not sure I am ready to pursue a startup yet but thinking of doing a part time masters to learn more about AI. Looking forward to more of your videos!
This is one thing I say all the time, now that LLM's are more accessible, an average joe can create a decent competitor for a small margin of the price. It is actually very empowering.
As someone at it for 25 years, my conclusion is that the quality of software efforts have declined greatly overall. The Senior-Only issue is due to the larger issue that most people in management know less about what they are doing than before, so they are making short-term decisions because the long-term is just over their heads.
Here we go again - another TH-camr telling us we can all be entrepreneurs! The reality is that no, not everyone can be an entrepreneur. I'll even go a step further and say that the vast majority of people cannot be entrepreneurs.
Macro economic pressure is also a big part of the layoffs. Higher interest rates mean that all companies avoid big expenditures and risky R&D, lower cash flow and the need to cut expenditure.
On the flip side, it means those companies aren't pushing against difficult problems that need developers. Once they do, they realize why developers exist in the first place.
this guy's advice to people who can't get a job is... to start a startup LOL blind leading the blind. 3.5 years at a rest and vest tech giant and he's giving advice
Annual Net income is not directly related to headcount. If you have a finished product you could be making a lot of money, but you don't need a million people working on it. Because most of the work it's already done. Sure you can always iterate. But you don't need the same amount of resources to iterate as when the product it's starting. So in a market with aversion to risk, trash startups get less capital and companies like facebook and such get more cash. Regardless of their needs of headcount.
Hey Jason! Thanks for the insightful video. I'm in my first year at Waterloo studying soft eng and it has been really tough finding a co-op especially when ur in ur first year. I feel like ur video made me really think about how i can excel in specific skills to improve my chances of future jobs/internships. Thanks as always
Fortune 500 company employee here: Senior only when hiring outside the company. Most junior positions are available and posted internally. Other cool facts: We hire college students, We train and upskill employees, We invest in our people, we don't compete with technology companies, we partner with them. Hope that helps.
I've already subscribed back when you were geeked up about being a Microsoft all star and made the great condensed computer science video. It was inspiring, but from my post-military experience going from aircraft instrument and automatic flight control systems (avionics) to college IT and a bootcamp, aerospace was a better career by far if you want to make sure you have one for a long duration and acquire a pension. I had "deep knowledge" of avionics and a few people were mad that I was retiring because some of that knowledge would be lost. But, I never hid my knowledge from others so they should have learned everything I knew, especially at my last duty station where I served for 8 years. There's maximum service lengths by rank, and retirement was mandatory for me at 20 years of service. So if someone doesn't like it, they can tell it to the Pentagon. The point is though, that yes, deep knowledge is priceless in any field, whether it's software, electronics, carpentry or plumbing. But in IT, which suffers from feeling it's an exceptional industry (it's just another industry), it's a constant game of playing "Simon Says" until you slip up and get fired. So politics are paramount over deep knowledge. Maybe someone wants that "poodle life" of jumping through endless hoops, but I'm glad that through good and bad I stayed on active duty until I retired with a pension at 44 years of age, which is 6 years higher than the norm of 38. As for everyone who thought they're too brilliant to put up with organization X, keep on grinding, but just know that statistically only 30% of new businesses are still in business 10 years after they start. So after 9 nine years, 7 out of 10 of these techpreneur poodles will jump through pmnelast hoop and land on a false carpet that falls into a pit of alligators. The bird in hand is worth two in the bushes and no startup will ever outperform the S&P 500 over time. You can literally work anywhere, be frugal and finish wealthy. Most other career approaches are a fool's errand. Just saying.
Government jobs have pensions Private sector jobs these days that’s rare No one cares about how many years you worked in private sector it’s just what can you do for me now and what’s your rate And no pension Eventually USA will only have government jobs I guess. Or government contract jobs. No private sector Government has gone from 2 percent of economy to 42 percent even though USA supposedly “capitalist”
So you don’t think an employment paradigm that refuses to let people develop deep knowledge in the workplace is inherently unsustainable? Really? No amount of techno jargon or boosterism about startups makes this any less stupid. This sector needs to unionize yesterday.
I remember reading somewhere that unionization is only realistic when all the workers do similar kind of work and pay doesn’t vary much from person to person. Software development is very broad and the salaries can range from 60k to half a mill, so I would say that unionization can exist in pockets of the industry (for example the New York Times developers are a union) but not for anything industry-wide
You are a good video essayist. I can’t tell you how many times a YTer starts reading their reference material word-for-word (I.e. right to repair guy Louis Rossman) insulting the intelligence of their audience. You, on the other hand, present the source, highlight your talking point and interpret it in your own words. Refreshing! Engaging!
I think when it comes to "keeping up with technologies", this applies moreso to things like Python, Docker, AWS, Kubernetes and so on. If you only know Python, SQL, JS, Angular, then learning another programming language isn't so bad, but that's not automatically going to make you know the wider stuff that's in demand at the minute like these cloud related technologies. I'm a Senior Dev and am having to make sure I don't fall behind in this aspect to stay competitive. That's not even touching on AI and ML.
Excellent post. I just got laid off from a middle level position from a software company in Bangkok and it seems everywhere is looking for Senior Devs, so it's a little catch 22. Been thinking hard of doing my own thing but then the visa situation comes into play, but you've got to go and risk it as without the risk, you don't know if you will succeed at that goal or not.
Very interesting perspective - AI has been a very topical conversation at my company and while I don't know how to code, you make me wonder why I shouldn't look towards start ups where I can transfer my solution development background into a more profitable/opportunity rich role. Thanks for posting as always!
The problem is not "senior only market" , the problem is with the amount of people calling themselves junior developers and expecting to get a job. In the past few years there has been an exponential increase in people thinking they take a short cut to becoming a software engineer and start earning a lot of money very quickly. Attending a 3 month boot camp, doing 500 Leet Code problems, watching countless videos and learning all the "algorithms and data structures" you hear about does not a developer make. A junior developer needs to demonstrate that they have the analytical abilities to understand user requirements and turn them into usable software ,have good problem solving abilities as well as being able to show the have actually understood what they have learned and can apply it. I honestly believe that having a computer science degree or putting the effort into some kind of recognised IT related qualification will give you an advantage. It would be the same as lots of people suddenly taking 3 month online medical courses and claiming they can't get a job as a junior doctor. The standards have not changed its just the volume of people applying for the same jobs has increased and I do genuinely feel bad for those talented juniors who's applications are now being lost in a pile of junk.
I've been programming for more than 5 years. I've been trying to change my job for about 6 months, and I haven't gotten one interview since. I used to get interviews every month, I don't know what's going on in the world anymore. I'm glad that I have a job though, I would lose my mind if I didn't
Recent changes to U.S. tax policy have impacted the hiring and retention of software engineers, particularly due to amendments in Section 174 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. These amendments, which came into effect in 2022 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017, require companies to amortize their research and development (R&D) expenses, including software development costs, over five years for domestic expenses and 15 years for international expenses, rather than expensing them immediately. While there have been legislative efforts to reverse these changes, such as the proposed Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024 (H.R. 7024), these efforts have not yet resulted in any changes to the current tax rules
Exactly: junior devs now will have hard time (low salaries, if any) because of high interest rates, modern semi-automatic coding tools (ChatGPT, low code, modern frameworks, cloud). But for seniors actually little changed, they'll still be in high demand, and ChatGPT won't replace them anytime soon. A huge problem might be in let's say 20 years, when many seniors will retire and there'll be nobody to replace them. Maybe ChatGPT will be very good then, but who knows, AI actually develops veeery slowly. 1st experiments with neural networks have been made in '50s, and only recently, >60 years after initial research, AI became actually useful for few tasks (image recognition and generation, ChatGPT for simpler text generation), but is still terrible at most jobs (including those done by senior devs). Maybe it'll take another 60 years of waiting for the next big leap.
> Learn one thing, and learn it well that's what I was saying for the past 9 years. > Learn fundamentals aaaaaaand that's a huge hint on what to learn next. it's MATH. There's no thing more fundamental and important than math. It is indeed a good time to create a startup, that's for sure, but if you didn't learn fundamentals - you will find it incredibly difficult to compete with those who did. Idea is worthless if you can't implement it, and it's rather difficult to work with AI properly without math knowledge. Those who seem like they do - they're the modern script kiddies, they don't understand the tech they use, they simply use it because someone taught them to do it like this. That's a good thing though - it makes my competitors extremely dumb lmao. One of my competitors spent a year and hired 20 guys to implement the idea, they've lost ~1M USD despite having a ton of customers - just to be outdone by me and my shiny new algorithms in a few weeks :D That's why math is important, kids!
Obviously failed corporate leadership is the main culprit here, but I also think part of the problem is the weird over-saturation of CS programs. People who didn't care about computers or programming studied it just because they heard about the high-paying jobs and it was an easy way to start a career. They would do the bare minimum to get into a job, but there was never any passion. I think those people will struggle now, because if you don't want to program alone in your room for no money just because it's fun, you're not going to get a job.
Hi Jason! This video was very well done which is no surprise (holds the same standards as your rest). I'm sorry in advance but I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant. I'm currently doing my Bachelor's in computer science. I am expected to be done in 2 years but I maybe take a leap year which mean s that it could be 3 years until I'm done. To be honest I'm feeling pretty depressed lately and do not feel motivated in school when I see the tech layoffs etc. Sure, there is always hope in these kinds of videos but I feel like the future is only going to be AI. I don't feel like I want to take my masters in AI, I'm more into Computer Security. Am I f*cked if I don't major in AI? I just feel frickin' lost at the moment.
How often do you meet older people in the industry who are jealous of your success and wisdom? I wasn’t at your level in either department, but it was a problem for me. I guess I focused on it too much
Where can I find the link to the first graphic on the bottom left that shows company, headcount, and revenue growth? Writing a report and it would help big time
Become a software developer, not a software integrator. Taken inspiration form GenX where they had to create everything from scratch because nothing existed back then in the 1980's. This is still possible to learn nowadays and is incredibly easy to do.
Great video Jason, thanks for sharing. I got into tech with the idea of building my product - a startup, but did not take time to learn the fundamentals (broccoli) Now I know I need to learn the basics which will be helpful in my startup
Net income does not tell you how much they spent to get that income. If you have 1 USD net income in year 1 with 0 in expenses and in year 2 you have 2 USD net income with 1 trillion USD in expenses. Then you might have layoffs as well while having rising net income. So you can still grow while your margins are being squeezed all the way down to 1 employee.
I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life

The thing about Elon musk showing how few people it takes to run an app, it’s less about having fewer people and more about making sure the people you do have actually do their job instead of taking a 5 hour wine tasting and pickle ball break in the company facilities built for doing wine tasting and playing pickle ball.
Long story short, stop jumping in to frameworks and libraries if you aren't able to build complex projects using the fundamentals. Remember "Practice makes perfect!".
If your solution is for everyone to become a tech entrepreneur, then we're in trouble. Plenty of people don't have the innate skills needed to become entrepreneurs and most businesses fail. There should be jobs available for people who just want to put in their 8 hours, come home, and not have to think about work until the next day.

Not sure picking Twitter as an example of cutting fat, is a great example. Closed the API, removed trust and safety, and the site is now rampant with porn bots and blue checks spouting racist slurs at random people.

@@infinitivez That’s a real shame then. I created it for my new business, and to meet people with similar interests (web design, development, marketing etc.) Once I launch my website, the bulk of my efforts will be there so at least I can step back from X if it’s not a good experience I’ll try to play by their rules and see how it goes. Not sure if you’re still on there, but I hope it gets better for you
I'd go with C++, C#, or Java, there's a reason majority of universities teach their students in c++ first. Trust me you'll learn a lot about coding through C++ or Java, and the best part is that since you'll learn all of the foundational principals of coding, it'll be easy to translate code into other languages like Python. I know Python is tempting because of it's simplicity and range of use, but going from Python to a language like C++ is a lot harder than going the other way around.
I think you are right, but if he is looking to get employed as soon as possible he needs to learn on of the popular languages and then down the line he can jump to any other language since the fundamentals are basically similar.

Dude, that sucks! I'm sorry! For all those devs out there reading this, you also have to be careful about the other end of the spectrum. MOST startups will fail and when they DO give you equity, they will combine that with a lower salary. Make sure you're getting paid in your salary what you are worth, and always consider equity as lottery tickets! @nukemall3678 would have hit the lottery had he had equity.
sad part is, you wouldnt get the job if you wanted proof, as there is always a less experienced person who will not ask for proof, perhaps you were that guy after they rejected the person asking for proof :D
@@ege8240That's definitely possible.
AI wont replace engineers or even junior engineers. It will replace people that stagnate and do not learn how to use it. I could not be happier for the advent of AI assisted coding. I was always a slow coder. Now I get to focus on my strengths: Solving hard technical problems (which A.I can never do in full scope), system design, software engineering, collaborating etc etc
I am never been a greater coder but designing and other stuff was always easier for me.
Considering most things AI does today were considered "impossible" previously, you're just taking the "god in the gaps" argument and turning it into "seniors in the gaps." Everything AI touches, humans become second best sooner or later. If humans are able to outperform AI to infinity, why hasn't anyone beaten an AI in chess for 3 decades?
@@MrVohvelithis is why UBI will become a thing
@@MrVohveli chess is not a great comparison, it’s a known and limited game space. Also not playable by LLMs, the problem and AI application are different. Not sure you can make a direct comparison to something like software engineering that has an unlimited set of rules, problems and is not a board game.
@@ZergbitSoftware doesn't have unlimited rules? Just a reminder that in 100 years we went from making a turning test to making AI that can beat the turing test. Thats like the lifespan of 1 generation and you saying you can't possible imagine a world where we could make an AI think or atleast be able to solve problems on the next 50 years? You are claiming engineering which is just using the rules and tools of physics to solve problems can never be fully automated? Like don't get me wrong the current reserach master and phd engineers solve aren't going away anytime soon nor are the jobs that you can get with these positions. But saying never is wild since we went from the first trasistor to an LLM thats quite decent in just 72 years and with the amount of money that is hoing into AI right now it feels really ignorant to say "AI can never do this". Like dude we went from cleverbot to chatgpt in 7 years
It's a provocative video to be sure, but I have over 40+ years of development skill and knowledge. I can code for Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and virtually everything else. I know more languages than I can list, seeing as I pretty well stopped keeping track when the number got north of 50 or 60, I forget. I never had any problem finding a new job until I turned 50. What used to take days now takes MONTHS. So as to your thesis, that it's a senior-only job market, my experience surely says otherwise.
same, I have 25 years of infrastructure engineering experience working on unix, linux, windows, and network protocols. I've aged out, no one will hire me anymore. As such i threw in the towel and now work at a car dealership as a vehicle advisor for automotive check-in for vehicle repair. Once i hit 45 it was over, and frankly taking a job for 60k and working IT hours with 25 years of experience is just not worth my time. But, i am 100% with you, dedicated most of my life learning this stuff to get too old where kids don't want to work with you anymore..
Isn't this the point he is making? Building something for the market yourself and set it out to sail. Don't let this get into your mind rather keep evolving, you are not expendable.
Do you put 40 years of experience on your résumé or just 10 years?
@@designhub360customapparel It's actually quite a balancing act. I had a consulting business on the side for a long time as well, so if I listed every place I worked, every job I had, my resume would easily be in the dozens of pages. I keep it trimmed to three pages with only the last few jobs and mention the totals up front in an "Executive Summary" section.
It's doubly hard because I've had about seven careers during those decades, depending on how you count. Software development has always ended up being a part of them in one way or another, but I end up having a minimum of four resumes on hand at all times: software developer/manager/director, DevOps developer/manager/director, product marketing, and then an academic CV as well (I've been a professor of philosophy and of computer science at various times). It's genuinely hard to manage the resume.
Which to my mind, along with some of the things I've heard from HR departments, makes a strong argument that age discrimination is DEFINITELY a thing in the software industry.
Taco Bell is hiring immediately.
This is a really solid take. I started my first job as a SWE last year as a self taught dev but that only lasted 8 months til I got laid off. I work as a data analyst now though and I love it. Skills in programming can really carry over to a lot of different tech jobs.

As a senior dev... I found this really insightful and valuable. I really agree with your analogy on the candy vs broccoli balance. As someone who's gone too hard in both categories at different times in my career... finding a good balance of both is hard to do but really really important.
You want to become a senior in one stack, and not a mid at multiple stacks. Good point
When A company ask I mentor 2 college grade. One asked if he should learn as many languages as he can or focus on 1. I told him. Eventually you want to be a T developer. BUT, to become a T Developer. You need to begin as an I developer. Stick to one thing and learn it super well. Once you get comfortable, Learning a 2nd, 3rd.... isn't a big deal. If you choose to be a T, before being an I developer. You're a " _ ". Junior dev in everything is still a junior dev. Knowing more when you don't even understand one well will not be helpful.

Ever since I started self studying ML, my minds been running with a crazy amount of startup ideas. Your video was just the inspiration needed. I think it's time my ideas take a leap into reality. Thanks, mate :)
same bro and the best part is, it's more fun to learn that way.. feels like playing a game!
I'm trying to start one too. To solve my own problems first
Same for me! There is so much we can contribute and I think now is the perfect moment for this.
Where did you start out to learn?
This is a surprisingly good video. Especially the script kiddie comparison. I’ve been saying that AI is great but could really enable this problem and many won’t know the fundamentals, relying on AI to generate the solution..
Thanks for sharing man
I don't know what is used to train AI, but I reckon a lot of it are basic tutorials on the internet. So using AI to solve a coding problem only makes you slightly faster than doing a google search and reading those same tutorials. It's not going to solve complex coding projects that is hidden from public access. I suppose it could start digging into open source github repositories, but that opens up a whole nother can of worms.
Nah Bro it doesn't work to learn just one thing really well. The skills and requirements for a job these days are insane. Usually ask way too many skills and the list includes (networking, windows, linux, kubernetes, docker, AWS, Azure, Google stuff, NIST, ISO 27001, splunk, wireshark, nmap, vulnerabiltiy management, risk management, project management, ethical hacking) to name a few. Every single of those topics could be a single job and requires a lot of time, resources, money and experience to get "keep knowledge" on them.
Deep knowledge takes years, and will be obsolete in a few years. You need just-in-time skills for specific projects.
Oh absolutely. And remember don't let a company segment you. It helps the company if you became an expert of one tool and can work 3 times the speed. But once that role/tool changes, how will you adapt. Always try to gain new skills, don't put all the eggs into one basket.
Sounds like technological progress is too fast.

"Build something that people could actually use", love it. That is how I found your channel. I need to learn how to code, your channel has a ton of valuable information. I have patented something that is "something people could actually use" and just need to build it myself or get some help seems to be more the path after seeing your videos : ). I have used this patented idea in the workplace and have increased my productivity by 65% and out preformed my counter parts. Thank you for your guidance and videos. I am now a subscriber.
Never seen you before, but this video was excellent. Actually solid advice, good humor, great editing, and I legit thought you were sponsored by ozempic haha.
Sort of confirms what I've been thinking for some time now. Very happy for the push to keep going in this direction.
Wow so true! I am a freelancer for 16 years and 30+ yeas of experience and I literally had only just landed a project at my old customer!
Everybody says the need "good people" but nobody seems to want to actually hire and pay for them. It's really a werid market. Even during the 2008 crash it was easier to find jobs, they just paid less.
First off, I just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying your videos - they've been incredibly helpful in my journey as a fresher in software development.
However, one challenge that I, along with other newcomers in the field, often face is figuring out how to effectively manage our time. We're constantly juggling between learning new concepts, brushing up on coding skills, diving into math fundamentals, and even squeezing in internships.
Given your experience, I was wondering if you could share some insights and tips on how you personally manage your time in this dynamic environment. It would be immensely valuable to hear about your approach and any strategies you've found particularly effective.
VERY interesting take. At the opposite extreme, SQL has been paying my bills for 30 years. I will never be replaced by an AI or outsourced worker. Why? Because rather than add more tech skills with diminishing returns I got myself business qualifications. It may be fun to cut code in a comfort bubble, but the REAL value add , as you hint in the video, is to transcend from writing code to providing a business service.
Hi Jason, I've watched all of your videos and I appreciate the useful non-generic you provide. Please keep making more videos!
You brought me so much peace about my future. This video was extremely insightful as someone who's new to coding. I loved your vibe, you earned a subscriber.
The "deeper" knowledge you are referring to is precisely what is missing from the current crop of LLM (Large Language Model) services that are coding assistants. Therefore, these LLM's absolutely do eliminate a lot of the lower level coding jobs that could be accinokusged by gluing together copied code. (Note, I still don't like that phenomenon because younger entry level coders need jobs!).
However, it does elevate and empower the senior experienced coders with "deeper knowledge" because they know how to use the LLM to write more code faster and most importantly, know when the LLM generated coder is wrong, and generated code is frequently very wrong with the amount of problems found in the generated code code growing exponentially with the complexity of the coding task.
God help us all though if/when they do move from the current "pattern regurgitation" phase the LLM's currently are in, to true automated reasoning with preferential autonomous agency. Then we are all screwed, senior dev or not.
I recognized you from the time I matched with you for a mentorship program (16weeksofinternship). I regret not going through with it. But I am glad to have found your channel!! I am one of those junior devs who got laid off last year and it's been a tough market but I am hopeful my hard work will pay off. I am not sure I am ready to pursue a startup yet but thinking of doing a part time masters to learn more about AI. Looking forward to more of your videos!
This is one thing I say all the time, now that LLM's are more accessible, an average joe can create a decent competitor for a small margin of the price. It is actually very empowering.
As someone at it for 25 years, my conclusion is that the quality of software efforts have declined greatly overall. The Senior-Only issue is due to the larger issue that most people in management know less about what they are doing than before, so they are making short-term decisions because the long-term is just over their heads.
Here we go again - another TH-camr telling us we can all be entrepreneurs! The reality is that no, not everyone can be an entrepreneur. I'll even go a step further and say that the vast majority of people cannot be entrepreneurs.
Macro economic pressure is also a big part of the layoffs. Higher interest rates mean that all companies avoid big expenditures and risky R&D, lower cash flow and the need to cut expenditure.
On the flip side, it means those companies aren't pushing against difficult problems that need developers. Once they do, they realize why developers exist in the first place.
this guy's advice to people who can't get a job is... to start a startup LOL
blind leading the blind. 3.5 years at a rest and vest tech giant and he's giving advice
Annual Net income is not directly related to headcount.
If you have a finished product you could be making a lot of money, but you don't need a million people working on it.
Because most of the work it's already done.
Sure you can always iterate. But you don't need the same amount of resources to iterate as when the product it's starting.
So in a market with aversion to risk, trash startups get less capital and companies like facebook and such get more cash. Regardless of their needs of headcount.
Hey,
A vid on how you started your startup (i.e) the entire procedure and how you implemented your idea would be great.

I've already subscribed back when you were geeked up about being a Microsoft all star and made the great condensed computer science video. It was inspiring, but from my post-military experience going from aircraft instrument and automatic flight control systems (avionics) to college IT and a bootcamp, aerospace was a better career by far if you want to make sure you have one for a long duration and acquire a pension. I had "deep knowledge" of avionics and a few people were mad that I was retiring because some of that knowledge would be lost. But, I never hid my knowledge from others so they should have learned everything I knew, especially at my last duty station where I served for 8 years. There's maximum service lengths by rank, and retirement was mandatory for me at 20 years of service. So if someone doesn't like it, they can tell it to the Pentagon.
The point is though, that yes, deep knowledge is priceless in any field, whether it's software, electronics, carpentry or plumbing. But in IT, which suffers from feeling it's an exceptional industry (it's just another industry), it's a constant game of playing "Simon Says" until you slip up and get fired. So politics are paramount over deep knowledge. Maybe someone wants that "poodle life" of jumping through endless hoops, but I'm glad that through good and bad I stayed on active duty until I retired with a pension at 44 years of age, which is 6 years higher than the norm of 38.
As for everyone who thought they're too brilliant to put up with organization X, keep on grinding, but just know that statistically only 30% of new businesses are still in business 10 years after they start. So after 9 nine years, 7 out of 10 of these techpreneur poodles will jump through pmnelast hoop and land on a false carpet that falls into a pit of alligators. The bird in hand is worth two in the bushes and no startup will ever outperform the S&P 500 over time. You can literally work anywhere, be frugal and finish wealthy. Most other career approaches are a fool's errand. Just saying.
Government jobs have pensions
Private sector jobs these days that’s rare
No one cares about how many years you worked in private sector it’s just what can you do for me now and what’s your rate
And no pension
Eventually USA will only have government jobs I guess. Or government contract jobs. No private sector
Government has gone from 2 percent of economy to 42 percent even though USA supposedly “capitalist”
So you don’t think an employment paradigm that refuses to let people develop deep knowledge in the workplace is inherently unsustainable? Really? No amount of techno jargon or boosterism about startups makes this any less stupid. This sector needs to unionize yesterday.
I remember reading somewhere that unionization is only realistic when all the workers do similar kind of work and pay doesn’t vary much from person to person.
Software development is very broad and the salaries can range from 60k to half a mill, so I would say that unionization can exist in pockets of the industry (for example the New York Times developers are a union) but not for anything industry-wide
You are a good video essayist. I can’t tell you how many times a YTer starts reading their reference material word-for-word (I.e. right to repair guy Louis Rossman) insulting the intelligence of their audience.

Even as a senior it's hard af
Love how everyone who first suggests the gentleman's agreement is the one who benefits most.
I think when it comes to "keeping up with technologies", this applies moreso to things like Python, Docker, AWS, Kubernetes and so on. If you only know Python, SQL, JS, Angular, then learning another programming language isn't so bad, but that's not automatically going to make you know the wider stuff that's in demand at the minute like these cloud related technologies. I'm a Senior Dev and am having to make sure I don't fall behind in this aspect to stay competitive. That's not even touching on AI and ML.
Excellent post. I just got laid off from a middle level position from a software company in Bangkok and it seems everywhere is looking for Senior Devs, so it's a little catch 22. Been thinking hard of doing my own thing but then the visa situation comes into play, but you've got to go and risk it as without the risk, you don't know if you will succeed at that goal or not.
I remember a certain someone telling me the exact same thing at a certain point in my life. Now, watching this at this certain point, hits quite hard.
Very interesting perspective - AI has been a very topical conversation at my company and while I don't know how to code, you make me wonder why I shouldn't look towards start ups where I can transfer my solution development background into a more profitable/opportunity rich role.
Thanks for posting as always!
The problem is not "senior only market" , the problem is with the amount of people calling themselves junior developers and expecting to get a job. In the past few years there has been an exponential increase in people thinking they take a short cut to becoming a software engineer and start earning a lot of money very quickly. Attending a 3 month boot camp, doing 500 Leet Code problems, watching countless videos and learning all the "algorithms and data structures" you hear about does not a developer make. A junior developer needs to demonstrate that they have the analytical abilities to understand user requirements and turn them into usable software ,have good problem solving abilities as well as being able to show the have actually understood what they have learned and can apply it. I honestly believe that having a computer science degree or putting the effort into some kind of recognised IT related qualification will give you an advantage.
It would be the same as lots of people suddenly taking 3 month online medical courses and claiming they can't get a job as a junior doctor. The standards have not changed its just the volume of people applying for the same jobs has increased and I do genuinely feel bad for those talented juniors who's applications are now being lost in a pile of junk.
I've been programming for more than 5 years.
I've been trying to change my job for about 6 months, and I haven't gotten one interview since.
I used to get interviews every month, I don't know what's going on in the world anymore.
I'm glad that I have a job though, I would lose my mind if I didn't
I’m a senior and can’t find a job lmao
Recent changes to U.S. tax policy have impacted the hiring and retention of software engineers, particularly due to amendments in Section 174 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. These amendments, which came into effect in 2022 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017, require companies to amortize their research and development (R&D) expenses, including software development costs, over five years for domestic expenses and 15 years for international expenses, rather than expensing them immediately.
While there have been legislative efforts to reverse these changes, such as the proposed Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024 (H.R. 7024), these efforts have not yet resulted in any changes to the current tax rules
Most IT job offers require 3-5 years of experience. Nobody wants juniors devs.
The lesson of this video is what I've been saying for years.
Python bootcamp kids are terrible coders who don't know how computers work.
Become a master of one and not a jack of all trades! Great advice.
If a company is only looking for seniors, its a major red flag they aren't doing well and layoffs are soon.
Exactly: junior devs now will have hard time (low salaries, if any) because of high interest rates, modern semi-automatic coding tools (ChatGPT, low code, modern frameworks, cloud). But for seniors actually little changed, they'll still be in high demand, and ChatGPT won't replace them anytime soon.
A huge problem might be in let's say 20 years, when many seniors will retire and there'll be nobody to replace them. Maybe ChatGPT will be very good then, but who knows, AI actually develops veeery slowly. 1st experiments with neural networks have been made in '50s, and only recently, >60 years after initial research, AI became actually useful for few tasks (image recognition and generation, ChatGPT for simpler text generation), but is still terrible at most jobs (including those done by senior devs). Maybe it'll take another 60 years of waiting for the next big leap.
Very well said. It's also great advice for many other fields: learn something really well
> Learn one thing, and learn it well
that's what I was saying for the past 9 years.
> Learn fundamentals
aaaaaaand that's a huge hint on what to learn next.
it's MATH. There's no thing more fundamental and important than math.
It is indeed a good time to create a startup, that's for sure, but if you didn't learn fundamentals - you will find it incredibly difficult to compete with those who did.
Idea is worthless if you can't implement it, and it's rather difficult to work with AI properly without math knowledge. Those who seem like they do - they're the modern script kiddies, they don't understand the tech they use, they simply use it because someone taught them to do it like this. That's a good thing though - it makes my competitors extremely dumb lmao. One of my competitors spent a year and hired 20 guys to implement the idea, they've lost ~1M USD despite having a ton of customers - just to be outdone by me and my shiny new algorithms in a few weeks :D
That's why math is important, kids!
What kind of math are you talking about? Percentage calculation math? Integral math? What level?
Good points! Great content! Well done!
Obviously failed corporate leadership is the main culprit here, but I also think part of the problem is the weird over-saturation of CS programs. People who didn't care about computers or programming studied it just because they heard about the high-paying jobs and it was an easy way to start a career. They would do the bare minimum to get into a job, but there was never any passion. I think those people will struggle now, because if you don't want to program alone in your room for no money just because it's fun, you're not going to get a job.
Hi Jason! This video was very well done which is no surprise (holds the same standards as your rest). I'm sorry in advance but I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant. I'm currently doing my Bachelor's in computer science. I am expected to be done in 2 years but I maybe take a leap year which mean s that it could be 3 years until I'm done. To be honest I'm feeling pretty depressed lately and do not feel motivated in school when I see the tech layoffs etc. Sure, there is always hope in these kinds of videos but I feel like the future is only going to be AI. I don't feel like I want to take my masters in AI, I'm more into Computer Security. Am I f*cked if I don't major in AI? I just feel frickin' lost at the moment.
How often do you meet older people in the industry who are jealous of your success and wisdom? I wasn’t at your level in either department, but it was a problem for me. I guess I focused on it too much

I got into tech with the idea of building my product - a startup, but did not take time to learn the fundamentals (broccoli)
Now I know I need to learn the basics which will be helpful in my startup
A lot of the organisations you looked at the change in headcount for are already starting mass recruitment again after the layoffs. e.g. Meta
Gentle Agreement 👍
Net income does not tell you how much they spent to get that income. If you have 1 USD net income in year 1 with 0 in expenses and in year 2 you have 2 USD net income with 1 trillion USD in expenses. Then you might have layoffs as well while having rising net income. So you can still grow while your margins are being squeezed all the way down to 1 employee.
That's not the dunning kruger effect, but that alone doesn't necessitate invalidating it.
Your video is Sooo helpful for me😭

If your solution is for everyone to become a tech entrepreneur, then we're in trouble. Plenty of people don't have the innate skills needed to become entrepreneurs and most businesses fail. There should be jobs available for people who just want to put in their 8 hours, come home, and not have to think about work until the next day.
Agreed! If you haven’t finished the video I hope you stay tuned till the end. I am offering this as an option to viewers but don’t expect that for everyone. Also worth saying I don’t expect everyone to be a founder - there are 9-5 jobs as employees at statuos
Not sure picking Twitter as an example of cutting fat, is a great example. Closed the API, removed trust and safety, and the site is now rampant with porn bots and blue checks spouting racist slurs at random people. Not to mention, try changing your profile picture more than 5 times in a week, or like and unlike a status a few times in a row, and see if you can get unbanned.
I'm going to click off at that point. The moment anyone uses that as an example, you lost all credibility.

Which Language did you learned first?

I'd recommend python or JavaScript

I'd go with C++, C#, or Java, there's a reason majority of universities teach their students in c++ first. Trust me you'll learn a lot about coding through C++ or Java, and the best part is that since you'll learn all of the foundational principals of coding, it'll be easy to translate code into other languages like Python. I know Python is tempting because of it's simplicity and range of use, but going from Python to a language like C++ is a lot harder than going the other way around.
