Writing software will never again be a skill worth 100k a year.
I am sure Software developers are here to stay, but nobody who just writes software is worth anywhere close to 100k a year. Either AI or outsourcing is making sure of that.
- owebmaster 2y agoRight now there are thousands of solo devs making >100k a year without a boss to annoy them. That's only going to grow with AI.
- constantcrying 2y ago>That's only going to grow with AI. And the amount of code these people write is only going to decrease.
- owebmaster 2y agoYes but the size and complexity of their software will increase proportionally.
- constantcrying 2y agoAnd? It has done so for decades already.
- owebmaster 2y agoSo? What is your point?
- constantcrying 2y ago"Writing software will never again be a skill worth 100k a year." First sentence of my OP. I thought it was obvious.
- owebmaster 2y agoWhich is not true, writing software will continue to be a skill worth millions, even billions. But yeah, as we will soon have hundreds of millions of programmers, on avg 100k will be a thing of the past :)
