Answering your questions more directly, yes there is a huge need for programmers in the near future. I’m not aware of any zero-code solution anywhere close to obsoleting jobs at any company I’ve ever worked at. The types of jobs automation solves are normally jobs that aren’t that fun to do in the first place. ;) It is not saturated. Programmers with even a handful of years of experience are highly desired, even if entry level devs find it tough to find roles. There are just a lot more roles wanting people who know what they’re doing, at least a bit :) Software development is probably one of the most cost effective ways to get a good salary. The initial investment can be completely free if you take the time and effort to learn it. Even buying random courses won’t be nearly as expensive as a graduate degree. Or even going to a community college to get the basics! Super cheap compared to getting a medical or law degree. High salaries are then driven by huge investment in tech companies, which happens because these companies have an outsized opportunity for making a lot of money, which investors love. (E.g. you can scale a tech business to millions of paying customers without nearly as many resources as a physical goods business.) These factors make it an extremely viable field relative to a ton of options. I think the challenge is that you need to discover if you have an affinity for programming. All of the decent developers in my BS program found the intro programming courses very easy, whereas most others didn’t. Not sure why, but maybe it has to do with the way folks think about problem solving.
