AI Expert Explains Future Programming Jobs… and Python

In this video, we'll look at a couple of video clips from an Industry AI Expert on what programming jobs and business opportunities will exist in the near future.

After hearing these clips, we'll look briefly at the implications of what he said, and some preparations you can be making to get ahead, and then we'll end with a brief discussion on the importance of Python and why you should be learning it.

Yes, Python. It's still super important.

Let me know your thoughts on it all down in the comments!

A lot of non-tech companies, including large ones, don't even have good data governance. They don't have policies regarding the collection, storage, maintenance, and disposal of data. It's sort of a hodge podge of different departments doing their own thing with data. So, even before AI can make a positive impact, these companies need to get their data governance policies in place.

As a guy who runs an AI consultancy firm, this is an illusion. Coding is like 10% of the job. The main problem is the training data (to acquire, label, prepare, etc), and I don't see much improvement in the last 3 years.

From a Senior Software Engineer at a huge bank: AI is the future... but the future is pure garbage. We are currently having a problem with people even understanding the basics of JSON and YAML and when you throw in an LLM engine that just regurgitates stupidity... well... we are all doomed. Good luck, everyone.

I've been a data scientist for 20 years and I've never seen Andrew so far off the mark. I have delivered dozens of these solutions in the tail. The model is typically you get a data scientist like myself to find what the thing is. Build out a prototype using open source libraries. Plenty of code there and then you get some data engineers and machine learning engineers in to harden up the code base and scale it

Python is a great programming language. It's straightforward, consistent and very intuitive. But occasionally it does throw a curveball, in syntax and in the way it works. It however doesn't give you same sense of freedom as C++ does.
C++ on the other hand allows you to approach any problem in the way you see fit. You can use C++ in very much same way as Python, but you can use C++ in many different ways aswell.

Different tools for different jobs.

I am a freelance developer and I was waiting for these AI tools to start building AI solutions for clients. And here they are, the public LLMs and so forth. I share your view that I can be an AI developer without having to be a machine learning engineer. I really enjoy when you comment on an interesting presentation. Great video !

I’ve been thinking about this lately. I told my friend that I was getting into tech and I wanted to start by learning software development. I was surprised by what he told me. He said that’s a basic skill rn and what I need is to either get into cybersecurity or cloud. All these areas use Python as their main language. I started learning python and I’m impressed by the versatility of the language. I mean you can use this language to do almost anything. From data analysis (Python is now in excel), data visualization, network automation you name it!

[marknthetrails]

I took a year of computer programing back maybe before you were born but life took me a different path, retired and thinking I need a winter hobby. thanks, worth a sub...👍✌🖖🥃

[ayberk]

Thank you, Travis! I've been following you for a while and I'd say the content you produce helps me a lot on my programming journey. Thanks again for sharing valuable knowledge which is quite rare to find.

I'm a junior dev and i just got a job at a small AI consulting company. Maybe this guy is onto something

[yogsothoth]

beware of entering a position that has a low barrier to entry like "python developer". This means lots of people can become qualified and compete with you, thus driving down job security and pay.

[hitmusicworldwide]

There has always been developer oportunities for small use cases. Think of the plug in writers for all sorts of applications and use cases. Right now, people are slapping .AI on everything like it's monkfruit or stevia

[kylestyle]

Having worked as a jr dev at a software company, its difficult for me to see an AI tool that is capable of letting the client build professional websites with little to no code required. Pro websites are far too complicated and have problems all the time. One thing ive learned about SWE is that things break all the time and it takes a deceloper to figure out why. Implementing a fix in the existing code base ranges. At times, I'd think something was so easy to fix but it turned into a much more challenging task. Sorry, I just don't see it. There are tools like WIX that build websites for small businesses but these sites are like the bare minimum in quailty and functionality.

I have mostly been full stack Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, SQL but have also done work with Analytics and Data warehouses with Python, SQL, Java, ETL

[stucatz]

These are good videos thank you, I am a 2nd degree CompSci career change guy in my 30s; these vids help w optimism and entrepreneurship

[mambofornasa]

Am so glad I came across this channel.New subscriber here, and just as you mentioned I went down that Cloud path with AWS and I even got the foundation CCP certification. Focusing on building my Python skills✅

I think in the big picture, python is in a similar place to where BASIC was during the 80's or PASCAL was during the 90's. But just looking at the differences between these three languages shows just how far we've come.

I love that he said, "grounding" in Python, LLM and ML... love this pun, not sure how many people got it but I smiled when I heard. If you don't know what "grounding" is....yeah 🙂

[Martian]

I love AI, I am a robotics and mechatronics engineer and I hate coding from scratch, so AI is good for that. I prefer to modify code that I get AI to write from scratch and then get AI to check it and optimise it. I like ladder programming and assembly by myself, as I like to run it in my mind step by step.

[Quoteoftheday]

Thank you Travis for this great information

To be honest with you Learning Python is a great way for beginners get into Tech. I love 3 Field in Tech and they are Software engineering, AI and Machine Learning and Cloud engineering and I will make sure I train myself to be an expert in those fields, Am currently learning Python right now and i started 2month ago
