The argument with AI for me is “the more technology you introduce, the more programmers you need to make it work well”. I think there’s opportunities to be made with data science and such in the future and even now once the interest rates go down and more roles open up. It will take time for the economy to improve tho

This is cool dude. I’m a vet so I’m literally about to get paid to go to college for CS degree. My goal is to do it traditionally because of the benefits I get are too good to pass up, but I hope I can find a way to make money with coding before I graduate so I can dip lol.

[@alatus_edits]

The problem with CS rn is competition. So you need to be a Chad Grinder

Hi Dorian, Indian job market for coding and full stack development seems worse for people just learning to code close to 40 yrs old, that information i got from quora posts and rants and the worries of not getting a job or losing a job once i get it are not from AI but from fresh college and university graduates that are 20 yrs younger than me getting the opportunity with a high starting salary and most of them either continue working or become business owners and citizenship in another country by the time they hit their 40, but end result is i didn't continue through with web development and give-up for trying to learn data analytics but i may continue learning and practicing web development later after i get a job in data analytics or i may move on to something else like digital marketing or SAP

[@albertusmeiring]

I think you are trying to jump around to much. If you want to be a full stack developer then go for it. You need to remember when people interview they are looking for people that can communicate and actually debug, code etc. When you go into an interview of you check those boxes you'll get the job over others. You need to stand out from the group be in the 1% not 99%.

@@albertusmeiring i think you are right, i might just be happier finishing react-typescript and tailwind css and getting a job very soon, ofc building projects along the way with react-ts and tailwind Css for better opportunities

@@sivanyamurayama5523 Everytime you learn something, put it into practice. Build muscle memory.

So glad I decided to learn 3 years ago. Nice video!

[@realamritthapa3617]

Is the Dorian digress channel still active or we back to full cs content?

[@The0Stroy]

Also, learn how to implement AI in your projects! AI needs programmers too.

[@AustinTorchx]

Is anybody in a nice learning discord? I have my associates degree and I’m looking to meet other people learning

[@mystupidbrain5299]

I hang out at Strapi’s open office hours on Discord. I mostly build apps for clients using Strapi and Next js. Strapi is an open-source headless CMS that allows nontechnical users to manage content. As a developer, I can focus on building and not managing content. Lol. Dorian can probably guess my real identity based on this comment.

[@KMMOS1]

This video comes off as a fast-talking promotional salesman rather than a thoughtful analyst guiding listeners to a better decision process. It's more off-putting than helpful.

[@matts9216]

Absolutely not... 1) you need to struggle to learn what you're doing, not have Ai do it for you. 2) Ai frequently gives garbage and as someone who is learning you don't know how right/wrong the answer is that you are being given. There are already reports coming new graduates who can't code for loops because they used Ai through their entire education.

[@qua4476]

that depends entirely to the person who is using it. what the video meant is the accessibility of the knowledge is easier, if people seek for the wrong knowledge they are going nowhere. its like seeking a library for a too specific answer instead of seeking knowledge to help understanding the concept of what results to the answer you are trying to find.

[@The0Stroy]

Depends if you just copy-paste from AI or do your work and try to understand what AI spits out and how to fix it if it's wrong! Also bullshit about struggle - really, you want to learn hard not smart?

[@aidenchristopher9158]

What he said in the video was using AI as a tool. He is not recommending you to use AI to do your work but as he said a psuedo mentor. AI does give garbage but for college level programming 1 and 2 its pretty much spot on and any more advanced topics it can teach you them pretty good but trying to use AI to implement those advance topics is where it breaks. AI is a tool and if you use it to learn then your learning will be faster than those who don't.

[@matts9216]

@@The0Stroy Yes, struggle. You will not learn how to problem solve by constantly inputing prompts. You'll get good at prompting but problem solving comes by doing the work and struggling, just like math.

[@The0Stroy]

​@@matts9216 Well, then why use any tools? Frankly - Struggling makes you only want to quit. Really. What it is now with this "cult of struggle" recently? A whole population of masochists? Why everyone don't live as hunter-gatherers in the woods if they like to struggle so much? I'm struggling enough really. It is like haste generalization that I run with everything to prompt AI. I don't. I do it only when I don't know. And often after reading AI answers, I try to make it on my own. I'm learning. It's like saying teachers or handbooks make learning "too easy" because they dare to help students instead of making them struggle even more!
