“Future of software developers”
What Actually Happened
I see many asking if CS is worth it. Yes, it's worth it, and here's why:
1. The second "golden age" of CS is close, I predict 2 years ahead. The reason is simple: AI isn't the main culprit of the current displacement. Economic downturn is, that's been going on since COVID, with a tiny break. Juniors have always had it very hard during downturns, and it's due to businesses holding on to their liquidity very hard. Same as a private person goes into savings mode when the economy goes crap.
