It's not just tech, other industries are experiencing the same hiring woes. I think the economy is deeply broken, it shouldn't work like this and it doesn't seem like there is any hope in fixing it - governments just continue to run up debt as if they can just keep kicking the can down the road indefinitely. eventually the can becomes a brick and you break your foot.

there will be a reset at some point, and software developers will be needed. especially when every piece of software stops working. idk if that will happen before or after an economic collapse tho.

i have no idea where things will go in the future, but i doubt it will be much fun

I'm confident the world will need more software developers than ever before, no matter where "AI" goes from here.

I don't think most of those jobs will be in the West, though.

  • Why not? Are there any software-related industries in the West where software engineers are not needed or won't be needed?
