I had a job as a web developer, but then I quit it 3 years ago. I now want to get back on the wagie train.Has AI raped the webdev / programming jobs market beyond all recognition? Is it worth returning to web development / computer programming now in 2026 when AI has raped to death everything in this field and everything about the job and the passion and it's all gone away now it's all gone away now it's all disappeared from me now dot com
>>109002620>Has AI raped the webdev / programming jobs market beyond all recognition?your best bet that it can't become profitable and the SOTA models are all dropped as infeasible to run, and by that time you hopefully can trad code.
>>109002620>Has AI raped the webdev / programming jobs market beyond all recognition? AI can code itself now. AGI is guaranteed to happen before 2029.You're fucked OP.
>>109002652>you hopefully can trad codeIt's not a thing anymore m8. Although I am not entirely sure about web dev. It is so weird at times that maybe you webshitters are actually the best at this obscure thing.I noticed that among all people in IT, web devs are the fastest typers. And since AI cannot into CSS and such, maybe I'm wrong about web dev in particular. But in general nobody really writes code anymore.
OP don't mind these memes >>109002667They are forced for 4 years straight, yet big AI giants embarass themselves every time they show any attempts at serious projects done by AI solo. Like compilers, browsers and such. It produces trash.
>>109002695You are delusional. Keep drinking the Kool-aid. Unless we get AGI, we will always need trad coders.
>>109002667It's really funny to me that these models are all built off of public knowledge with zero moat and yet these companies are pretending they have a real business model that won't just be copied without their initial R&D cost. China already did it with deepseek and others.It's the one saving grace of all this. Anthropic (and open AI, and Facebook, and Google, etc. etc.) can all decide that humans are worthless, but their products are also worthless to them.Sorry, but being 1% better than the competition while costing 50 thousand times more isn't really a great strategy.
>>109003104If you're so good at business why aren't you a trillionaire and they are?
>>109002667Anthropic should be called out and publicly ostracized for the blatant hype machine that it is. If you want to have a hint of common sense or realistic expectations from whatever they say, dilute it in 90% skepticism and wiff a hard noooticing
its ludover
>>109003977>AI Can't Replace SWEs!Lol, This is extra funny to me because where I live 'engineer' is a protected title, and the vast majority of software developers aren't, and can't call themselves engineers, and of course they're the loudest about this. The ones with the title are like >lol, I have a real job
>>109003943I donated them my businesses because I prefer to post here most of the day
>>109004269And you still make less money than we do.
>>109002695do you find it difficult to speak for yourself?there are entire companies including mine that don't allow any AI to be used.
>>109002695AI can into CSS, it just does not have refined taste. Thing is most webdevs themselves don't have taste. Basically you are either an artchad mogger or you are cooked. Ironic that with all the comic strip reddit artists crying since the first imagegen models that actual art and taste will be the last thing to die, maybe even will never die.
>>109002620you can still get a job as a web dev but you should focus more on the backend, depends what is more used in your area like Go/Java/Node...BUT you still should learn some frontend.I studied design back in the days, worked as a designer but didn't like it anymore then studied again but this time CS. So my advantage is that I can design and code, no LLM shit can ever replace me. Nowadays I am learning more about backend to become the weapon of web dev
>>109002620What were you doing between the ages of 30 and 33 when you weren't doing webdev? What marketable skills did you learn?
>>109006669>you can still get a job as a web devReally? He can do that?
>>109006841only if he's cool enough, like them
Web dev is over. Claude has mastered it. Can't imagine paying a human to do this kind of stuff anymore.
>>109007175TRUTHNUKE
>>109002620i'm skilled in tech and work at mcdonalds. dont waste your time
