Thats a terrifying future for a person like me who has just started programming.
But get this , programming can never be fully automated. There will always be one guy who has to sit down, understand the requirements, convert into a logical structure/business rules and then design a proper solution.
Maybe a powerful framework will then allow this one person to realize what he could have otherwise done only with the help of 3 - 4 other junior developers but until we develop true AI programming won't be automated.
- k__ 12y agoWell, the boring programming jobs will be automated, but for them you didn't need a CS in the first place.
- thewarrior 12y agoI'm a coder at an outsourcing firm in India .. So gulp , I am a bit scared :P
- k__ 12y agoMaybe you should be :D Joke aside, I thought India was getting more high-tech lately. My impression was that this outsourcing would stop soon anyway because the wages getting higher and India needs their coders for themself.
- thewarrior 12y agoWages are actually lower when adjusted for inflation when compared to what IT workers used to make in the early 2000s. Also theres increased competition from Ukraine / China. But its hard to find better work in other sectors and the less said about the standard of education here the better. I really enjoy coding and I'd say that I'm better than 75 % of the coders here. But thats hardly enough to get into a place where they do the real nice work. We even have to sign an agreement whereby we're forced to work for a particular company for years and can't leave without paying a hefty fine. Atleast that never happens in North America. Good jobs are hard to come by and I'm thankful for this job.
