the problem is at a big company like microsoft, you get hyper specialized and you become a useless idiot basically. the longer you work there, the stupider you get because you only know how some tiny detail of microsoft's private system works. it's not applicable knowledge anywhere outside of microsoft. companies want someone who knows open source tooling and systems, and who has experience with them. it's the curse of working at a big company - you get paid well, but you become fucking useless

I like how millennials just parroted the learn2code advice we got in 2003-8 despite it not being a good idea for over a decade. really fucked zoomies over with that one

is that the AI writes the code, and the senior developers become overpaid editors and maintainers

When I see AI slop submitted by my manager, I don't even pay much attention to reviewing it. If it fails in prod or the code becomes an unmaintainable mess, so be it. If you don't put in enough care to make sure the code is clean, I'm not going to help you clean it up. You can ask an AI to do it if it's that great.

TLDR: Companies massively over-hired, either to signal growth or because they ignorantly believe in The Mythical Man Month (the idea that throwing more bodies at a problem = more productivity). Then lean times started and companies who were looking to trim some fat said,
>hmm maybe we don't need 1000 engineers to work on a single web page

>>60892449
This. It's not just with tech companies either. An old electrician company I used to work for had massive layoffs last year and ended up having to fly people halfway across the country to get work.

EVERY career field is fucked.

The media picked it up and fed it to boomers and then it became what it is today.

Tech jobs were hit the hardest because a large portion of "tech jobs" are dumb web startups that don't produce much value but were massively overhyped for a long while.

Jobs involving software for things like airplanes and nuclear plants are mostly untouched by that web dev crash and are only being affected by the turbulence that's affecting all the other industries in this currently dogshit economy like you said. Think: things like public sector database development for your local city government, or embedded programming for robotics. I keep seeing a ton of job listings for these, but the masses of web-developers aren't skilled enough to do those jobs.

>>60892693
To be fair, most code monkeys aren't skilled enough for those jobs. It's like trying to find electricians smart enough to work on actual rockets.

It's literally the opposite.
