This article seems to ignore the 6% sector unemployment, massive layoffs, and the terrible interview processes.
- nathanfig 1y agoI'm finding 2.4% unemployment rate for software developers: https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/software-developer https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/software-develope... Regardless of the true number, you're right that no amount of reasoning on paper "why" we should be employed matters if the reality is different; which it clearly is for a lot of people. Reality decides in the end. A more accurate title might have been "Why AI is a reason to become a software developer" - since the topic I discuss is entirely AI and its effects on the field, and there might be entirely non-AI reasons for not going into software.
- giantg2 1y agoI'm not sure how old your link is. A basic search is showing multiple sources from this year indicating the rate is more than double that 2.4 number.
