I don't think engineering time is up. People who have skills will be in demand no matter how much AI advances. Redundant roles which can be easily automated are reduced not the pure technicals once.

It's understandable to feel nostalgic about the past, but the tech industry is dynamic, adapting to evolving trends and challenges. While concerns are valid, there's also room for positive change and innovation. It's essential for companies to strike a balance between efficiency and employee well-being to foster a sustainable and thriving software engineering ecosystem.

Era of pampering is probably over.

time to move to where real money is. aka finance. am i right?

@Noice all the points mentioned in the post are applicable for finance too these days. It's just shit economic conditions everywhere and as always the working class is facing all the repercussions.

I'd wait for a year or so to give my opinion on this.

Yup time to move to atoms world. Make everything smart.
From cooking machines to cars to homes, to factory machines.

Golden era of engineering entitlement and inflated benefits is over, Not Software Engineering.
Humble, learned, skilled software engineers were always treated as first class citizens and would be in the future as well.
Chaff is going away.

I am not kidding, there is a lot of scope for electricians, plumber, civil contractors, interior designer, carpenter.
It's not too late. Divert your focus to build skills for these roles.

Please you do that , while i take home 50lpa as 3yoe.

You forgot Uber driver making more than his passenger

Might seems so but as we have seen in the past when machines and computers came up, people said human jobs will be gone but here we are. I think just like the past, humans will pivot to something niche or some new industry all together.
Think about it, if company lays off people they don’t earn, if they don’t earn how will they spend, if they don’t spend how will companies generate revenue, if there is no revenue then how will a company operate.
You have to see things at a macro level. If you remove the human from the supply chain then what is the supply chain for? All this infra, tech and other stuff is built by humans and for human comfort. How can humans not be a part of it?
Just my 2 cents


Your Software job will vanish soon...
- You thought the tech industry was your golden ticket, didn't you? Well, think again. The era of 0% interest rates is over, and it's about to get ugly for software engineers in India.
- Remember those days when startups were popping up...


Software engineering job is highly overrated. Prove me wrong if you can.
- You are building a software that otherwise could be built by a 12 year old kid, if given proper training.
- You cannot code if I cut off google, stackoverflow & related websites.
- You are just concerned about producing the output q...

Tell me you are a mediocre programmer/ work with mediocre programmers /an idiot without telling me you are.

Hahaha LinkedIn is the platform for this kind of shitposting

Blud thinks he's onto something 💀 Let me guess, you're a PM?

[Hot Take] AI will make SWEs redundant, PMs and Marketers will become the most important job
It’s clear that companies won’t need engineers 10 years from now.
They’ll just need people who know what to make. Who to sell to. How to sell to. At what price.
This will be the great commoditization of Software development

This is an L take for someone who works at Google It is supremely obvious that SWEs are about to enter the golden er...

What a cope. Do you really work at Google? Ai had already come for marketing and PM also
