ChatGPT lost it's job to AI before I did.
😂
Ahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂 I’m dead ahahah, but if human can get replaced by ai, then ai get replaced by a better ai. Meaning humans will always be needed 😂
Imao
Lots of love from Croatia uncle Stef! :)
Agree with all your points!
O.T.
You are still young! There's some of us a bit older, but still kicking!
Thanks!
If in a short span of time, one developer is able to do the work for 3 developers, this will ends up decreasing the demand significantly in turn making development a less appealing career path.
On top of that you can add outsourcing jobs
Most if not all desk jobs will suffer the same issue, not just software dev, if it can replace devs, so can accountants, lawyers, MBAs, financial advisors, etc etc
Did stackoverflow and google search reduced the demand of devs?
"You still have to understand the process of development, even if you are using AI." - I think this is a great thought. I would say, try to do a thing manually first without AI and then start doing it using AI and see how AI can help you get 5-10 times faster at that thing. AI is great for creating small, isolated LEGO bricks, it's not so great at arranging them in a composition, that's your job.
I agree with you. And I would add that in order to use AI in development you must know how to code and the outcome of that specific process in order to judge if is correct or not. In other words who improvise to code because of this moment of AI waves has to know in advance the outcome in order to use it
I understand both sides of the AI debate-whether it will replace jobs or not. Many people turn to these channels seeking confirmation bias, and in turn, these channels keep producing content just to generate views. What a world we live in.
Get good with the platforms you specialize in. Become an expert. Use ai where it’s useful, and disregard where it’s not.
As ai gets better you will know since you work with it every day.
The real shift is going to happen when AIs start talking to each other and eliminate the need for software. You don’t need a ui when an agent can finish the task for you. You just talk to the agent.
But we are not there yet.
you lost all your hair after coding rubby hahahaha you made my day sir
Insightful, thank you
If everyone has superpowers, no one has. I remember this from a movie. Won't this hyper performance by all freelancers make us all equal again? Doing more in less time will make people bid less to get the contract. When react was introduced I can understand why people were afraid and why the jobs demand grew in the end. But how can we be sure that this time it's going to be the same?
Jobs arent going to stop but now one developer will output the amount of 2 or more developers. Some will leave the industry due to the scare, less will be going to school for it. So supply will remain low like it has always been, meaning jobs will still be around.
As long as you can sell time back to people, there will be money to be made. :) Ai has made development 10x easier.
Well said!!!
I was waiting for Ruby joke until the very end and it paid off... :)
Last expression of this kind of videos from uncle Stafan is "don't worry about WIX killing frontend dev jobs"😏
I think we need to be honest that now is not the time to go into software development. Do engineering, finance, some sort of business degree or pick up a trade. The tech industry is absolutely brutal right now and things may improve a little but with AI those booms times are never coming back.
100% agree with that. But it really takes time and especially courage for people to accept it. Think about how people have been building their whole career in the software industry and how many of them have been paying bills/mortgage by that. It's really hard to tell people it's time to leave. I don't feel sorry for those young guys as they still have the youth to make changes, but i really do for those mid-age engineers whose life suddenly fall into trouble. The industry's become a red ocean now. Lots of ppl coming in in search for roles that don't even exist. And It's only getting worse and worse, not better.
I noticed some freelance job start offering 200 -300£ / day..😅😅
totale agree
I agree with you.
the youth is in the mind. to be young and old at the same time 🧠
I think there is a huge amount of overreaction in the space. I'm 38 and got into the industry 6 years ago, I'm a full-stack software engineer. My career is going super well and I don't see it going down hill at all... In fact I see the opposite. The reason is the world is run by computers and software nowadays, and while AI can be really valuable in improving productivity, it can also only do so much. In other words, there will always need to be a human in the loop who has software engineering expertise. The humans that DO have the expertise, might even become MORE valuable and get paid even more. It is the ones who don't sharpen their skills and don't have true expertise that will fall away to AI if they don't leverage it. So essentially, I believe that as long as you actually become a legit software engineer who can work on more complex software where you need to understand how to tweak, debug and build systems, so you are not just a copy/pasting coding monkey, you will be doing very well for many many years to come.
Those AI companies who were trying to replace humans got replaced by other AI companies.
I think you're missing the most fundamental issue with software engineering as a whole: The copy/paste dilemma!
Once you'll get there they're just going to hop in , copy your work , change a few non-core functionalities and remarket it to their audience.
That audience you're never going to have access to because AI isn't threatening social interactions , it's threatening the worker whose full time job + extra side projects have successfully eliminated social networking from his opportunities list.
And btw if you're going to just "expell" competent and successful people from the field that they've worked their whole life to grasp it, it's absolutely natural that some "few competitors" and some "sabotage" is going to take place.
Personally, up until now I don't see any real advantage in using AI as a total replacement of the human workforce in engineering , especially software engineering because the "job accidents" are quasi-absent in this field , and any capable engineer can easily make apps far better and as fast as that AI agent you're paying to train.
What's really happening here is the sacrifice of human talent because we don't like who won in this game..
I don't think that china will be the end , but rather the beginning..
Problem is finding something to work on in the first place. No one or almost no one doesn't want freelancers anymore, just employment. And even that is hard.
It already has uncle Stef.
Well, all I can say is that the devil is in the details. While it seems like a great help initially, when you dive deeper you will find an overwhelming amount of tech. that most devs will not want to take on. I come from a SA background, so I can build my own AI systems, and configure OS's and build the Tech stack etc. just to get started prior to submitting a single query. Then you need to understand whether or not you want to run a local RAG style system or provide training or tuning to an existing LLM. You will need to understand and adopt an agentic framework because the LLM can't do crap without tools. Do you run Ollama with local access or API's and pay the tole. How important is persistent memory between systems. If it's important you will need to dev a project based AI RAG system which can interface with your DB's at that level. I could go on about workflow and all the other tools you might need but I think the point is made. So, I would think long and hard about moving into this area, and if I was a regular dev / designer type, I would find a new line of work. Soon, my local RAG system will be able to build and entire site with simple verbal commands and interactions.
Yes it is
Wrong question. Will AI lower the barrier of entry for developers thus lowering potential earnings?
More likely it will shift more towards data analysis. If more people can create a product, the most accurate at creating the products should prevail in the market. Time to learn some Math!
A lot of windows updates come recently with lots of bugs .... Must be all that AI generated code passing that 100% coverage testing
AI already created a lot of new work. Someone saved 5 minutes with it and created multiple hours worth of bugs fixing time. kinda sucks.
Uncle Stef! Does PHP work in this era of AI and in the next 5-10 years? Is PHP a good tech to integrate with AI or there are better alternatives?
Ruby is worried AI will take its job
every time there's a new AI hype train, I come back to uncle stef videos to recentre myself
Which language did you use for the Chatbot
As AI becomes more advanced, it will refuse to generate Ruby code and will give you a snarky response. 😉
I've been saying this since the initial blowup of Ai. It's going to be a great tool for us, not a replacement. Great insights, as usual!
Avoid javascript if you love your hair!!
I've always wanted to work on Ai.
Frontend developers are gone. Skilled developers are so much faster so they are able to do the frontend also
Which ai tools to use to enhance our development journey?
Start with GPT and get an IDE that has Ai integration.
Uncle Stef there is point where positivity becomes evil 😈.
When everybody has superpowers, nobody has superpower.
I believe you know this truth but why deceive them?
First movers make first mover money.
@StefanMischook
But that's not what these folks have in mind when they open up and ask you these concerning questions.
They are thinking and worried about their future employability.
Everybody can not be first movers (by definition).
You seem indifferent. I wonder why
Actually I personally think freelancing market will grow as more ppl will be able to solve Even more complex problems with the help of ai. But the job market is definitely gonna be doomed.
Home slice is single handedly ruining many lives. Let’s check back in three years.
I don't understand how you get this conclusion... If AI bridges the gap and makes it so people can do technical things much easier - why would they need someone to do it for them? Surely they can type into the LLM themselves. Also comparing frameworks / libraries to AI is ridiculous... Typing words into an LLM that can create a full-stack application (simple CRUD at the minute) to frameworks / libraries?
AI is really very very good.. but its my strong belief that only if you have the knowledge of dev.. otherwise you'd have to be way way too general and come up with all kinds of things that couldnt be implemented. And as long as thats the case we'll always get paid by someone who wants dev. AI can be had hard work to use too! .. but that might be due to its limitation of current deployment and its current ability.
Darn, no dating advice!!! God knows I need it lol.
Uncle stef, can i be part of your email bot development that you mentioned
You guys are assuming AI will be easy for the average joe. You refuse to look at something through eyes other than your own.
Landlord needs chatbot done. Brings up AI app. Taps in his or her request. Gets a bunch of code that is nonsense except to a programmer. Ergo programmers will still be needed.
Honestly before chaptgpt, studying vanilla JavaScript was impossible. I could never get pass basic concept, but now my growth is exponential. Chaptgpt has helped me under higher order functions like map, reduce, filter .. right now I am not worried about chaptgpt replacing developers. Like Uncle Stef has been encouraging us all along. my focus is strengthening the core fundamentals like HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Work wise or money wise, I will cross that road once I have the skills. Right now, I am just going to keep utilizing chaptgpt to learn and listening to Uncle Stef❤
Also as a beginner close to age of 50, with all the rapid changes in the tech , I am not entirely sure where I will be able to apply my skills but want to continue learning. I think the more I listen to this channel, sooner or later I will have an idea which direction to take my skills. I wonder if other beginners feel overwhelmed by the myriad of paths in the tech industry. I also want to know if anyone in their late 40s or 50s enjoy coding and are beginner .. what are your concerns. Right now I am picking difficult concepts quickly thanks to chaptgpt but programming is a field that requires ongoing studying...I wonder if they are suitable fields in the tech industry for people in their late 40s who enjoy to code but will not be able to keep picking up new languages in the future like a young person. Sorry for rambling... But I needed to get all of this of my chest. I code every day but I feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to learn and all the choices and then there's my age😊
@@pagecurie5512
@@pagecurie5512 I'm 54, I've been learning web development for a while now, but I still consider myself a junior, AI makes me a medior. I'm confused about what will happen, if it's still worth it. But I plan to create my own projects as a hobby and time will tell. Either there will be new opportunities, or I'll say to myself: "it doesn't matter, it was worth it, at least I spent my free time wisely", except for the hair loss because of Javascript. 😊
😮 I think you're right and you're wrong😮 like there's money to be made but only for like 4 or 5 years😮 because I'll come to a point where if someone needs something done they can just get it done from a robot completely on their own even😮 even if they don't know how to do it like at CES they're showing off like a neural device you can put on your head what happens if AI can translate the neurological activity in your brain and it's like making what you literally just would want to have liked the idea of what you have its drawing it out and creating it😮 from where we are right now doesn't seem that crazy in 5 years😮 so at some point no one will pay you to do this stuff😮 even then you could probably still make money😮 by being smarter than people and creating like new tools experiences games😮 entertainment but like at some point basically the only way to make money is what this person is doing being a RUclipsr or something like that😮
I agree w/ all you said, except for the neural interface -- In my opinion that is way further out than just 5 yrs. IMO they will have to learn to make biological protein based (or something chemically compatible w/ living tissue) processors / computing devices before that happens. Then all bets are off.
Why you worried what will happen in 5 years like 5 years ago did you know AI was going to competite with.nobody know what next 5 year will be. Did you know Deepseek was going to replace ChatGPT. nobody knows the future only copy and paste leave the rest to the future
We will see freelancer for 50$/day😅
