Over 419,056 tech layoffs have occurred in the last 20 months, and software engineer/IT jobs have been hit harder. I don't know if this is correct or wrong, but the shift due to AI is real, no matter what tech CEOs say, given that all these tech giants are making record breaking profits each quarter. So, please take care of yourself. Learn new skills. Apart from learning new skills, what other skills can one learn to stay relevant in the age of AI and automation? Source https://trueup.io/layoffs

IT industry jobs once were a sure ticket to get out of poverty and unemployment, but the golden age is now shadowed by recent developments in technology, especially driven by AI and automation. There is a massive shift underway, for sure. This is why recent grads are unable to find jobs in the tech sector. Of course, there is greed at top level to meet shareholders demands, and we all know the Magnificent 7 companies are enemies of mankind when it comes to privacy or anything else.

@nixCraft We’ll see about that really. It’s one thing to automate what exists and another to build genuinely new stuff. 🤔

@gimulnautti @nixCraft Never underestimate a managers belief that you can be replaced by a cheap alternative. Sadly, they also never see or admit that it was a bad idea.

AI is the new offshoring, unpaid interns, etc.
