>just learn to code bro
>18-month roadmap of non-stop training just to be able to compete with a simple AI model
sometimes it's okay to just admit you're too late to the party

no matter what you learn you are learning slower than current ai models are advancing

You're not late. Read about Dreyfus model. You can learn. It just takes time.

wait why the fuck are you still learning to code? its 2024, it's one of the deadest majors in the world. Worse job prospects than liberal arts and shit like that

They're not hiring juniors and laying off everyone else

Ok but can ai draw 5 fingers correctly and can ai assist in software deconpiling? Not really. Lot of zoomies think ai can hold their hand through life now and jump into any tech job they want but in reality they just be going on aibot websites all day and then get fired for wasting time prompting and not actually know what their doing. I seen many repos under github full of ai bot stuff lately then they break and die and left for dead. Ai doesnt get very far and just kills motivation to do anything whats the point of using it i find it is for dumb cunts.

ask the AI to implement Welford's online algo on a gpu see it struggle and make shit up now you know the limits so its just another tool. There are tons of things like this the "AI" will never be good enough to replace you because if it did then this whole thing would already be pointless.

programming is a type of job where the possibilities (for productivity) are far broader and more open than most other jobs. AI tools are just going to enable people like you to make more money, not replace you.

until AGI. then who knows what'll happen, but it'll be way more than just programmers that get sacked.
>>
work should be enjoyable. some tasks are going to be grueling so it's best if you take some inherent joy from your work. if you have no passion for a task, only a begrudging and cynical attitude relating to money, you aren't going to make it. if the idea of simply learning something new makes you feel deflated, your time would be better spent elsewhere.

Knowing programming is still important because it teaches you to think programmatically and and how to build scalable solutions. There are certain types of problem solving most people don't even consider simply because they don't know any programming languages.

Even when it comes to AI it's unlikely that a non-programmer would consider or be able to successfully instruct a chatbot to create a program that solves a work problem for them.

so is programming going to be a useless thing to learn since AI will be able to do it?
I watched this video that this former CEO of Google guy was talking about AI and someone asked him if it's pointless to learn to program, and he said "no", but he didn't elaborate at all

I highly, highly recommend you do not spend thousands of hours of your life on programming. If you are looking to build a skill for income, go into the finance/data analysis/accounting route. It is programming on easy mode. Study that. If you are looking for a skill as a hobby, do something like learning an instrument and getting really fucking good at it or learning how to draw/3D modeling etc. Don't let retards meme you into buzzwords about AI regarding hobby work - it's for the benefit of your well being (assuming you aren't doing it for financial gain) along with gaining a life-long skill

I'm tired of all you niggers saying coding is dead

You're all so fucking retarded

Every fucking company in the world needs computer people
Most companies are ran by old people who don't know how to open a text file

There are jobs everywhere if you sell yourself right

It's also one of the majors that gives you enough skills to make a startup

You're all just fucking neets who don't want to see all the jobs out there

I can go on any fucking website right now and send out my CV.

No jobs? Alright, I can go on fucking ROBLOX and code a cash grab game in a week. It's full of gambling games and copies of mobile idle games.
No success with that? You can go to any of your friends doing business majors and offer to make their websites

You can create anything on a computer and you're saying there are no jobs out there for that? Hear yourself speak


I'm Canadian and recently started CS in college so I haven't actually started sending out CVs but I don't believe for one second the doom you're all spreading

Fuck whatever Pajeet roadmap you found and sorry if I'm the first to tell you, but self-learning isn't for you. What you should do instead is:

1. Try out some programming exercises/tutorials
2. If it's fun, get certified in some way
3. Apply for jobs
4. Repeat from 2. until you get a job

The majority of people going into the field don't give a shit about software and were just told it was a free money hack
Being top 1% is trivial in a field filled with retards incapable of opening a terminal without having a panic attack

Learn at your own pace is my suggestion
Code is not about being able to spit out solutions in seconds, but how elegant you make it
A machine can't tell the difference between shit and quality code, when projects start to get bigger, with more unknowns

You will never be a real programmer. You have no commits, you have no pull requests, you have no public repos. You are a low IQ brown man twisted by an unearned comp sci degree and coding bootcamps into a crude mockery of nature's autism.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and from bots. Behind your back people say you're a useless DEI hire. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “tech bros” laugh at you behind closed doors.

Real programmers are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of forum posts have allowed programmers to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even devs who “pass” have no creative output and excessively verbose with AI generated tech buzzwords. Your GitHub profile is a dead giveaway, and even if you manage to score a 3 month internship at some tech company, they'll lay you off the second they find out that you haven't completed any non school related projects.

You will never be happy. You cope by saying that your bullshit software is using a "proprietary test framework" so you can't open source it, but deep down you know it's because you don't want people to see your incompetence where all you did was push README updates over and over, and that the core codebase was stolen off an open source GPL licensed project which you're shamelessly profiting off.

Eventually it will be too much to bear. You'll buy a google gift card, a spoofed business phone number, and start cold calling old people into redeeming your scam.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

there is a stupid amount of money in porn, assuming you live in a market where you cancapitalize on it. ive thought for years about working on a porn aggregation/subscription/gallery site, but the monetization tech and law just isnt there for it. payment processing is absolutely fucking insane for sexual content in the us/europe, and no other market are worth touching if you dont speak the language/grease the cock (china, japan, india, etc).

onlyfans pays 30% to its payment processors per transaction. thirty fucking percent per transaction. you dont even know how many potential businesses this kills ight off the bat.

being able to just use paypal under friends and family for shit without going through alegal entity that reports "pornography" as an income source kills anything even remotely centralized or above-board. crypto is a non-sequitur for at least 3 reasons.

ai porn is huge, but its never going to replace everyone, and the people that command a following are set.

I had these visions/day dreams as a teen that eventually computers would become these magic boxes no one understood how it worked. Like demolition man or idiocracy type shit but more focused on computers. I imagined that no one would have even the most basic simplest understanding of how it works under the hood beyond the concept of it needing electricity to work. The few underground people that did understand it were like modern witches/god-like because they could do whatever they want (hack their way into good grades, remove or add criminal records, etc) and no one could stop them because so few people remotely understood how the shit works, let alone be able to detect that the fuckery was happening in the first place. Average Joe has been conditioned to trust the system so much that even if he did suspect something, he'd be laughed out of town because the idea of someone capable of doing such things were thought to be preposterous, to the point that even the authorities can't do such things even if they wanted to. I always imagined it'd be like 200+ years from now and not within my life time.

my prediction now is that demand for us will drop a lot for the next 5-10 years, then will skyrocket. Someone will need to clean up the mess this AI slop is making and the younger generation who is learning to code using AI mostly won't have the skills to fix it.

Just coding is a mistake. You should augment some other specialized knowledge with coding. Then you can write code for that field of science of whatever. What are you expecting to actually do? People without specialized knowledge end up making websites, and that is hell.

Factually incorrect. I proompt AI all the time (for free) and have even started using GPT-4o since copilot was free. They're all shit and are only useful for helping me avoid reading the documentation. Whenever I actually try to use their code it ends up turning into a clusterfuck nightmare because it doesn't actually understand anything about good software engineering principles and asking it the same question in two slightly different ways will get you incompatible designs that are both filled with anti-patterns and an inherent lack of understanding.

Once you learn to code, you'll realize AI is over hyped most code produced by AI is shit it can only reuse rubbish its seen before it can't maintain an existing code base that with components that have multiple dependencies on each other its too stupid.

At best AI is just a glorified auto-complete its a tool to make your life a bit easier its not going to replace programmers any time soon if that was a danger it would have already happened.
