-Too many people who don’t know what they’re doing technically weigh in, essentially not appreciating the craft involved.
-It is impossible to find a job without experience in very specific areas. Then when you finally get the experience, jobs don’t work out. HR people then dig into into “work history” and it becomes a frustrating loop of constant job searching, working for companies that are not that great.
-AI
-I am not a computer scientists, but a database based programmer. Many of these aps are working out of the box and all you need to do is customize UI via point and click; you no longer need to code because of canned software.
-The viewpoint among peers that if you are stuck in older technologies, that you cannot learn the new ones. This is garbage. Some of the most talented programmers still program in Visual Basic (I don’t).
-My Masters should open me to another set of white collar office jobs.
