shit tons of tech money is now earmarked for ai, so new graduates that focus on ai are very highly sought after and can expect to make a truckload of money in the next 5-10 years of working 80 hour weeks and being abused by zuckerberg, musk, et al.
that means there’s far less spending on traditional development positions, especially junior devs who these companies are now trying to replace with ai. add on top that covid spending led to a massive increase in dev jobs which have been laid off since then.
tl;dr there are opportunities out there, but it’s a very unhealthy, lopsided market that’s not able to support the same population it could just a couple years ago. and all of this within a bubble that’s already showing signs of being stretched to capacity.
