To CLARIFY: 1. Coding IS still very much in demand (no, don't quit) 2. But it is harder to stand out than before

[@SuaXenStone]

i want to ask you if i stuck in cs50p problems should i watch solution on youtube or not???

[@surushazaryun]

@@SuaXenStone my friend, I studied same way but it was very hard for me to understand and follow up the assignment on cs50. If possible try to read one book on fundamentals of programming and move up slow but steady. I watched 5 hours of cs50 and I did not learn anything and I was so disappointed but keep in mind that you must not rush it. Take your time as much as you can. Every problem that comes to you try to go for it rather than studying more and doing it later.

[@SuaXenStone]

@@surushazaryun Thanks , But I am very busy with housework. I study only 1 hour a day, so I try to understand but I don't understand that much

[@3DHDcat]

opposite of what you preached

[@SuaXenStone]

@@surushazaryun which method do you use to learn coding, can u tell me? iam so confused between cs50p and mit course Which is good and which is not, Can you help me a little bit?

[@covertdelta]

I'm a software engineer and just knowing coding by itself was usually not enough even 10 years ago. You can think of "code" as just another language. Like English, French, German, etc you have C, C++, Java, etc. Knowing just how to talk, in this case to a computer, is never sufficient. You have to have a vision of what you want to build. Very similar to say how all mechanical engineers can talk English and Math, but they need to know what to do with those. That aspect is never going away. AI tools will help speed up the process of building things. You always need a human to define what to build and how to build alongside how to "talk" to a computer or AI system to get it done

[@noa670]

Yes Programming and Tech in general is a tool like anything else you need to know what to use it for

[@surushazaryun]

I’m so confused, one day you’re talking about how in demand software developers are and other day you’re saying otherwise. Please give us fair and honest information.

[@joshuapayne9811]

Its super hard now

[@InternetMadeCoder]

1. They are very in demand 2. They are less in demand than before & more competition Both can be true at the same time

[@surushazaryun]

@@InternetMadeCoder understandable. I appreciate your efforts to help us get better at coding. ❤️

[@SashaCianuro]

This is called gatekeeping

[@genki316]

​@SashaCianuro Not gate keeping. The market is saturated especially with terrible programmers who have no passion and only look at the money factor. Employers don't need these type of people. They want people who can go above and beyond for the same price.

[@lebdaily]

I'm 29 Lebanese learned to code last year through a bootcamp and got a job. It's not hard as you're making it out to be. Before that I had a business degree and worked bad jobs that didn't pay enough.

[@RiskandFlow]

HI! was it worth it to learn?

[@InternetMadeCoder]

Congrats!

[@PhillipBell]

Why do interviewers insist on asking me coding questions, if they don't care about code?

[@BECltd]

In my first job as a sales person, we decided to change simple products name and call them with modern attractive name. Same happening now. People with excel typing skills introduces themselves as a database skilled persons I used MS tools around 20 years but still I believe there are a lot more Ms tools can do but I don't know. Because people learn basic skills they consider they are programmers But actually there are a huge learning pending. As a result buggy apps, so many could not sustain businesses after a few of years those Expert software Engineers services

[@ngjimmy]

Yep everyone forgets about IT Operations... In a bull market with cheap credit you can pay and bs your way out of a crisis. But in a depressed market when managers are cutting costs to the bone... You gotta learn the hard reality of Ops. Good luck to those that never were in Ops...

[@pramitd7761]

People are taking software engineers as granted that yeah everyone can do it and my child can do it, chatgpt can do it blah blah blah and they all think that there is some magic wand that anyone can swing and code will get written by itself. But these people don't actually realize that it is not that easy as it seems. These businesses and all are so proud of themselves and all but they don't realize that their whole company works on that fking code, if there is no code than there no company. World will only realize the true value of software developers and engineers when that code on which the whole world is enjoying will break one day(and yes it will break one day if there will be no true developers working on it) and there will be no good software developers to fix that broken code and than all the big tech companies will collapse and than the whole internet will collapse and the whole world will also collapse along with it. Good Luck Folks, keep ignoring and underestimating software developers as we are the ones who will have the last laugh. Waiting for the world to collapse due to paradoxes of broken codes 😂 Ek Psy Congroo. Peace out✌️ Edited: Also good luck using AI to write code. You have no idea what you are getting into 🤣.

He has to provide points to support his arguments and he did, that's all you should take from the video!

[@animecap6]

When did you start to learn code?

[@miorosa318]

Twitter didn't lay off 80% because coding is EASIER. They layed them off cause they were legit there for no reason. Im not sure if you saw the video of daily life at twitter or w/e but most of those people who were working there did Absolut nothing. There was no reason for them to be paying that many employees when they could get the job done like normal w/o them.

[@LiberaMeFromH]

That was practically every faang daily life video back in 2020-2022.

[@InternetMadeCoder]

That's the point - there is less demand for engineers than before and more supply

[@delavago5379]

​@InternetMadeCoder they didn't only lay-off programmers. So your wording was still wrong

[@miorosa318]

@@InternetMadeCoder thats not the point i was making though. Most of those jobs were fluff. They did nothing in the job scene there. So pretty much all of that 80% there was not needed to begin with. Not because they don't need programmers.

[@codyphillips5098]

So learning to code will be like knowing how to use Excel

[@Sacrifizer_Official]

I learnt coding because i love it. I find fun in it. Its just a hobby of mine. My main focus will be e commerce. 😊

[@alvarozafe1579]

How are you doing with that?

[@Someone-lc6dc]

OK, here's a tough question... I absolutely hate my current industry/my current job. I'm getting close to 40, so... Is it too late for me to get into coding and possibly get a job later down the road?

[@raulshakya4404]

im a freshman right now doin my undergrad in CS. Is software engineering reslly worth it? the layoffs and the market really discourages me and makes me question my major. But, I am putting in the effort as coding has really grasped my interest. but, im eeally confused at the moment so is software engineering going to be worth it?

[@InternetMadeCoder]

It’s worth it, just not as easy to break in as it used to be

[@mmelimahlobo7656]

Thats true I have downloaded some apps that were not user friendly and I had to delete them and tried other ones

[@biggieg3881]

Thank God I quit and I put coding on the side and switched to e-commerce marketing (email, CRO, etc.). Best decision ever, and just as a high pay rate for someone like me from the developing world. Doing front-end development work (especially for agencies -- never again!) was the most burnout-inducing experience ever. Coding is good but only for the side.

[@elenan1217]

What skills did you need to learn?

[@JohnR-fc7vr]

I thought sales and marketing were both equally crazy. Sales for sure. Not sure about marketing. It's not as mind numbing is it? I'm asking because I too want to quit this BS coding job that has inhuman working hours.

[@biggieg3881]

@@JohnR-fc7vr Sales definitely is harder, especially for introverts. I thought marketing was just all about TV ads and stuff, turns out I was wrong. There's analytics, email copywriting, and other facets that also allow for creativity. Also in this age of AI, marketing will be more valuable than ever (as it has always had).

[@Zulonix]

Learning to code has never been anything. The important thing has always been to know how to imagine a system and turn that into something the computer understands. The most important thing about writing decent code is so that the person who wrote it will be able to understand it afterwards. If he can’t, there is big trouble.

[@jamessullenriot]

Learning to code was never enough. Coding is one aspect of what you do as a developer.

[@alshuwaiee27]

What is the best way to get started with learning coding after i have stopped for 1 year and half now

[@InternetMadeCoder]

Start

[@samreeve9738]

In the UK at least, I'm not sure this is the case. I left school (A levels) 5 years ago and my CS cohort was tiny, I am the only one to become a developer after school. I've done work in STEM outreach, going into schools and trying to get kids to give a shit about code. They don't. There is a deficit of people going inro STEM here, despite the fantastic opportunities like degree apprenticeships we have in the uk. Comparing programming to reading and writing is not yet accurate.

[@Rainbow-Life518]

Is it possible in UK to start a career late as a developer say when someone is 40 plus, Some countries like India you won't get an interview call if you are that age

[@samreeve9738]

@@Rainbow-Life518 most of the people I work with are above the age of 40, granted this is in bigger firms (talking biggest in the UK), so you certainly can, a lot of people in software didn't start there either. I think you'll find more younger people, in smaller businesses and may struggle to get in there.

Programming is simple, ludicrously oversaturated; let's be honest. How can you expect to get a job as a coder while the very same companies you want to work for are laying off people like hell and are on a hiring freeze mode? And for the few available jobs, you, a starter, have to compete against top ex-Googlers, ex-Meta, ex-Microsoft, etc., engineers. Forget it

most of my friends in US who graduated with a CS degree or bootcamp in the last two years have not been able to land a CS job, but if you are ok waiting, I did have one friend who was able to land a CS job after about 9 months of waiting. In perspective I got a liberal arts degree and got a job that pays similarly in around 2 months.

0:46 you know if i recall someone in the 1980’s knew how to code in basic, and yet now no one does, thats why being a “coder” or “programmer” became a job in the first place, people will always find the easiest way, and programming is not a easy way and never will be when compared to front end gui operating systems and likely future ai products that can just program for you, your argument is irrelevant and vaporware, you should do more research on the past before predicting the future 😂
