I have been reading a lot that 90% of their code is AI generated, companies are pushing developers to use AI as it makes them fast. But I am a little cautious of believing them. Is it true? Also sorry I didn’t find a css career subreddit so I am asking here.
Dude, I am guilty of writing entire projects with AI. I am not exaggerating, it literally feels like brain rot. Yeah people say now devs have time for high level design but bro, you need experience to know about high level design. Like, I can think of hundred of different ways to design something, but all hundred would be shit compared to what a knowledgeable person would build. Also it won’t be the job most people like
It’s not going to be immediate, but skilled devs are going to be in demand in a few years when the seniors with experience retire and the juniors that never learned to properly code can’t senior.
There are jobs out there, and you’ll probably at the very least have AI tools to use with varying levels of requirements. I have tools but don’t have any expectations to use them. I transitioned from sysadmin to RPA developer to full stack over the past few years with no prior professional dev experience, just one year at Uni and some self learning. So there are spots out there for actual dev graduates.
Here’s the kicker… It’s more about who you know than what you know. Your best bet to get a job is to network and get some sort of referral. Your reference gets your resume read, your resume gets you in the door, and you degree + reference get you a job.
