Writing software will never again be a skill worth 100k a year.
I am sure Software developers are here to stay, but nobody who just writes software is worth anywhere close to 100k a year. Either AI or outsourcing is making sure of that.
Right now there are thousands of solo devs making >100k a year without a boss to annoy them. That's only going to grow with AI.
>That's only going to grow with AI.
And the amount of code these people write is only going to decrease.
Yes but the size and complexity of their software will increase proportionally.
And? It has done so for decades already.
So? What is your point?
"Writing software will never again be a skill worth 100k a year."
First sentence of my OP. I thought it was obvious.
Which is not true, writing software will continue to be a skill worth millions, even billions. But yeah, as we will soon have hundreds of millions of programmers, on avg 100k will be a thing of the past :)
