To CLARIFY:
1. Coding IS still very much in demand (no, don't quit)
2. But it is harder to stand out than before

I'm a software engineer and just knowing coding by itself was usually not enough even 10 years ago. You can think of "code" as just another language. Like English, French, German, etc you have C, C++, Java, etc. Knowing just how to talk, in this case to a computer, is never sufficient. You have to have a vision of what you want to build. Very similar to say how all mechanical engineers can talk English and Math, but they need to know what to do with those. That aspect is never going away. AI tools will help speed up the process of building things. You always need a human to define what to build and how to build alongside how to "talk" to a computer or AI system to get it done

I’m so confused, one day you’re talking about how in demand software developers are and other day you’re saying otherwise. Please give us fair and honest information.

I'm 29 Lebanese learned to code last year through a bootcamp and got a job. It's not hard as you're making it out to be.
Before that I had a business degree and worked bad jobs that didn't pay enough.

[BECltd]

In my first job as a sales person, we decided to change simple products name and call them with modern attractive name.

Same happening now.
People with excel typing skills introduces themselves as a database skilled persons

I used MS tools around 20 years but still I believe there are a lot more Ms tools can do but I don't know.

Because people learn basic skills they consider they are programmers
But actually there are a huge learning pending.

As a result buggy apps, so many could not sustain businesses after a few of years those Expert software Engineers services

Twitter didn't lay off 80% because coding is EASIER. They layed them off cause they were legit there for no reason. Im not sure if you saw the video of daily life at twitter or w/e but most of those people who were working there did Absolut nothing. There was no reason for them to be paying that many employees when they could get the job done like normal w/o them.

[ukaszzbrozek]

Working remotly solution isn't as great and easy as it sounds.
Company might expect you to be in the same time zone. There can be also problems with taxes depended on nationality and tax residency.

[jamessullenriot]

Learning to code was never enough. Coding is one aspect of what you do as a developer.

[pramitd]

People are taking software engineers as granted that yeah everyone can do it and my child can do it, chatgpt can do it blah blah blah and they all think that there is some magic wand that anyone can swing and code will get written by itself. But these people don't actually realize that it is not that easy as it seems. These businesses and all are so proud of themselves and all but they don't realize that their whole company works on that fking code, if there is no code than there no company. World will only realize the true value of software developers and engineers when that code on which the whole world is enjoying will break one day(and yes it will break one day if there will be no true developers working on it) and there will be no good software developers to fix that broken code and than all the big tech companies will collapse and than the whole internet will collapse and the whole world will also collapse along with it.
Good Luck Folks, keep ignoring and underestimating software developers as we are the ones who will have the last laugh.
Waiting for the world to collapse due to paradoxes of broken codes 😂
Ek Psy Congroo. Peace out✌️

Edited:
Also good luck using AI to write code. You have no idea what you are getting into 🤣.

I learnt coding because i love it. I find fun in it. Its just a hobby of mine. My main focus will be e commerce. 😊

[biggieg]

Thank God I quit and I put coding on the side and switched to e-commerce marketing (email, CRO, etc.). Best decision ever, and just as a high pay rate for someone like me from the developing world.

Doing front-end development work (especially for agencies -- never again!) was the most burnout-inducing experience ever. Coding is good but only for the side.

[braumski]

So learning to code will be like knowing how to use Excel

[ngjimmy]

Yep everyone forgets about IT Operations...

In a bull market with cheap credit you can pay and bs your way out of a crisis. But in a depressed market when managers are cutting costs to the bone... You gotta learn the hard reality of Ops. Good luck to those that never were in Ops...

[mmelimahlobo]

Thats true I have downloaded some apps that were not user friendly and I had to delete them and tried other ones

[TheJacrespo]

Programming is simple, ludicrously oversaturated; let's be honest. How can you expect to get a job as a coder while the very same companies you want to work for are laying off people like hell and are on a hiring freeze mode?
And for the few available jobs, you, a starter, have to compete against top ex-Googlers, ex-Meta, ex-Microsoft, etc., engineers. Forget it

[sanjayganesh]

Tips for consistency while learning to code i am not consistent at all totally inconsistent plzzz give me some ideas

[Zulonix]

Learning to code has never been anything.
The important thing has always been to know how to imagine a system and turn that into something the computer understands.
The most important thing about writing decent code is so that the person who wrote it will be able to understand it afterwards. If he can’t, there is big trouble.

[alshuwaiee]

What is the best way to get started with learning coding after i have stopped for 1 year and half now

[samreeve]

In the UK at least, I'm not sure this is the case. I left school (A levels) 5 years ago and my CS cohort was tiny, I am the only one to become a developer after school. I've done work in STEM outreach, going into schools and trying to get kids to give a shit about code. They don't. There is a deficit of people going inro STEM here, despite the fantastic opportunities like degree apprenticeships we have in the uk. Comparing programming to reading and writing is not yet accurate.

[raulshakya]

im a freshman right now doin my undergrad in CS. Is software engineering reslly worth it? the layoffs and the market really discourages me and makes me question my major. But, I am putting in the effort as coding has really grasped my interest. but, im eeally confused at the moment so is software engineering going to be worth it?
