I agree, its not just about learning and landing a Job, its alot to do with how you market yourself and connect with dev communities
I love the hope part you mentioned at the end.. mindset matters in this current challenges.. spot on.. thanks man..
I find your thoughts really down to heart, I've been learning web development over the past few months and I watch some info videos as well to make sure it's still worth the effort learning, anyways, I just want to thank you for your sincere and well informed opinion.
Great video Nick! Thank you sir! Love the Skool app!!!❤❤❤
I mean I've personally been getting more offers than ever... The issue is simple, people aren't very "good" at coding. They learn quickly through resources online, but they don't learn well and they lack ANY real-world experience. Why hire someone who's going to cost you money and be a pain to work with, when AI and a couple of the right team members make life a breeze?
No sh*t Sherlock. The lack of ANY real-world experience is probably somehow correlated with the low supply of job opportunities on the labor market?
They also have no passion or staying power in the field, they just want the clout. That's not how you last 5+ years. You know those videos of female TikTokers doing nothing at work all day other than eating and meetings? Yeah...
They also have no passion or staying power in the field, they just want the clout. That's not how you last 5+ years. You know those videos of women vloggers doing nothing at work all day other than eating and meetings? Yeah...
oh wow.. you got anything gayer than that to say? ☺️
Nah bro the pandemic is when there were a lot of offers, I still get offers but the jobs are not remote. I think the problem is that most people are now picky, and the IT Industry reached it's buble, kinda like crypto it was all time high back in 2020s to 2023, now it is on it's all time low.
0:44 60% change in openings is scary! Don't get discouraged ya'll!
It's not actually 60% lower, it's 60% from its bloated artificial state of 2 years ago. It's still probably smaller than it used to be, but not that much smaller.
@@Leonhart_93yes this is correct. Job market is basically stabilizing to where it was before everything went wild now.
Naw A LOT of you should be discouraged from entering this field... Y'all do it only for money and deliver AWFUL work which I have to fix, costing me and clients tons of time/money.
@@TheBoundlessNexus cry harder
@@meme-potentialsearch8010 naw, I think I'mma just go keep enjoying being rich... You have fun with your life though and best wishes friends 👍😁
nice video. one additional tip i can give is to not overspecialize and always be curious.
With all the developers that can't find work that energy still has to go somewhere. So what I think will happen is that more diverse applications will start to show soon as people work on what they want to work on and what directly benefits themselves as opposed to working on what benefits a company. Silver lining.
That would be nice. I think ChatGPT is going to standardize a majority of applications though until the model can think for itself. Those who don't use it will stand out far more than those that do. Anyone who relies on it is just screwed. xD Not to bash on it though, it has its perks if utilized correctly.
Thank you, Nick!
Thanks man. Seeing this positive content is nice tbh
You mentioned discount for ZTM. How to get it there is no coupon code?
You started in 2015 and I started in 1986. It's funny to me watching you all grow up. Especially thinking you know anything about what's going to happen.
I may have missed it but I didn't hear him make any predictions.
The beginning of this video made me laugh. He says he started studying computer science in 2015. Don't know his specific path, but if I assume he got a four year degree he was in college between 2015 to 2019. During that time, I specifically remember how much people were complaining about how difficult it was to get their foot in the door. He says it seemed easy. Maybe for him, sure. Between 2012 to 2016, web dev was super popular (from what I remember) with entry level positions getting flooded with resumes. Truth is, things have always been difficult and they seem to be getting more difficult. A really good point he makes is just finding a specific niche to get good at. Web dev has always been super popular and gets flooded with low quality candidates since it's easy to get started. I've personally focused on finding the jobs people don't seem interested in or are somewhat esoteric. So far, that strategy has worked pretty good.
@@lguy330web dev was always flooded before but it was never as bad as it is in 2024. For 100 vacancies, 3000 people PHYSICALLY showed up here. Its bordering on insanity now,
Okay boomer
Awesome video as always Nick! This is why i’ve been subscribed since the early days!
Excellent point, thanks Nick
apenas hoy supe la diferencia entre git y github es decir. podria ser opcion usar codespaces de github para trabajar en dos equipos? saludos y gracias
Question: If I am learning a language in uni do I focus on that language like CSharp or do I pick another like Java or Swift that focuses on mobile dev which is something I want to do in the future
Hey mate. What are some of those "areas of expertise" that a junior developer could try to specialize in? I know things like testing, DSA, problem solving, debugging, etc but are there like actually specific focus points that might be appealing? Or are you implying it doesn't particularly matter, but it helps to stand out having ANY strong focus skill than just being okay at all of them.
You should learn to start answering your own questions this is hope porn just get to work
great video, keep it up!
4:00 Mobile development is at low hiring rigth now… You have to be top notch to find something nowadays.
Ofcourse he is gonna say programming is still a viable career, the video is sponsored by a programming learning service.
Experienced people on the other hand may or may not feel the pinch. But for inexperienced people, programming is dead. And the KZhead channels continue to sell shovels to beginners as the IT goldrush is slowing down. "You just gotta try harder", when everyone is already trying harder and still out of job for 6 months.
@@jan0195 It isn't?
I like this positive mindset. Keep supplyin the good content
Glorious Nick is back y'all
thanks nick
Apples new programming language is for configuration files, I think we’re cooked
that means what?
Nope I work at apple. Lol.where do you guys get that info lol. No team using AI tools in apple. Fyi some of the AI tools are banned here in most of the team.
@@bookofmystery9670 for now they’re banned , once they’re trained and managed locally that probably changes.
I guess the problem is not about new languages, but the problem is the ability of humans to compete against AI to build better software in existing as well as new programming languages. Using AI, we can write entire code for a Website in a matter of hours to few days. AI just learns, optimizes and always matches the best programmer in industry. So, to compete against AI, one has to be as extra-ordinary as the best programmer in the industry. No human can match an AI when it comes to Data Structures and Algorithms as AI can play that chess way better than humans. Besides, one can imagine the fate of software job seekers when Quantum computing combines with AI...
@@bookofmystery9670Ironic that they'd be more concerned for their own data security than they would be about ensuring customers never give their data away to everyone, INCLUDING Apple...
Thank you for this post. I earned my A.A.S., with certifications last May in Web and Mobile Development (yes a CoVid Layoff victim). OMG, the market today is at flood stage. As a novice, I am finding opportunities that require experience are a requirement, and I still question my skills. I even worked for 1.5 years as an intern. I decided to study more code as in extensive JavaScript. It is going well, but wondering where to go from here. I have no problem taking an entry-level job. I'm not looking to become wealthy overnight. Kinda scary.
Nowadays it's like you have to study in a super rich college or you won't get hired.. and before getting the job you have to know everything.. there's no chance to improve yourself while working coz if you don't know even a small thing you won't get a job 😅
Thank you for creating this informative coding video. It's been incredibly helpful in advancing my skills. Looking forward to more content like this!
4:52 that aged well with express js

Who will hire DevOps engineer without experience in software engineering or data science without experience or master degree?
This video is an add for Zero to Mastery. There is no way a newby to programming will be able to compete with all of the laid off tech people and AI. So, it will be who you know.
What are your thoughts on backend vs full stack vs mobile dev in 2024?
Nice video ;)
😳
TIM MADE VIDEO WITH SAME TITLEDefinatly lot of resources available now.
he stole your thumbnail and title
I need that sweater
Thinking about getting into software engineering
don't waste your time. Incredibly oversaturated market, you'll never get a job
My biggest regret, I found a job, but my salary is lower than cashier and I don't have any option to change the job at the moment. Not to mention that my expectation in this field were that I will work with more educated people than the ones that I was working for 10 years in Logistics. Well, that isn't true at all at least in my current job! Not to mention my social anxiety is all time high because this job has such a big learning curve and no one is giving me feedback if I am improving or not, so I don't have a clue If currently I am selling myself for less than I deserve... And last, but not least they require you to know 20 different technologies just for a junior job and as I mention the salary is shit! If you're not insanely big nerd without any desire to have social life you might have a chance in this industry, but imo the days where you could work this and earn your salary without being overly stressed are close to end... For now I am only ruining my health and I am wondering why?!
@ivangechev4243 Are you sure that you are a software engineer and not a sys admin or devops specialist? Cuz even if you were both (full stack dev) then clearly you are in the start of your carrer you obviously have to show your company in 1 year the progress that you have made and you should absolutely, fix your state of mind as you feel pitty for yourself, you hate your job and yourself. Be happy that you got the chance to work. I am currently in similiar situation as a devops specialist everyday is a new thing that I have to learn and give a solution to different clients. I get that "cashier salary" now, but at the end of my test period (6 months, I am on the 4th now) I will ask for full time work + about 30% raise as I have gone immensely better and more optimal at doing my work there! Btw are you Bulgarian?
Coming from someone who has a cs degree, multiple internships, an academic scholarship, and years’ experience as a dev in a fintech company, I am now struggling to get a single interview while unemployed. Your time is such better spent learning to become an electrician or something. By the way, it’s actually pretty easy to make 6 figures as an electrician, especially if you specialise from what I know of it from a family member
Please don't. No matter what some people tell you about "not having enough programmers", they're lying! The market is beyond FULL!
Nick, idk if you're stressed or tired or what bro, but you're not looking healthy brother. I've been watching you for 4+ years now and you don't look the same, and not in a more grown-up way. In a "the work has taken its toll" way. And I mean this with all love and respect, maybe take some time for yourself brother, you deserve it?
It might have something to do with him hanging out with all those degen IRL streamers.
@@misterretsim9851 definitely a possibility, people become a combination of the 5 they hang out with the most so...
I see Nick differently now since he became a streamer lol.
❤he won my heart at that chatgpt line.
I like how they say it's speculation. I mean do you not know why you fired Developers?
VS code + Free plugins makes coding very easy now. I started in the early 2000s and it was really hard, I needed to buy thick books but have no money.
We need a time management video please. Time management is really hard for a developer. Physical activity, learning, practicing, hobbies, resting...
you need to get a job
Buddy, that lamp in the background is going to burn my computer screen
You look worn down. Are you getting enough sleep? As for the topic at hand, there is very little innovation anymore. Just about any idea one can think of has already been implemented. The same situation is happening in the vocal and visual arts. There's really nothing that can be sung about now that hasn't already been sung before. Movie ideas have run around. It's now formulaic movie making. Years ago (try 1998-2003) I bounced between two schools (community college and university) taking programming courses. Visual Basic and C++ were all the rage, with Java coming on strong. What stopped me from doing anything with programming is that I'm a very practical person, and there just wasn't anything that I could think of that (a) wasn't already downloadable somewhere or (b) was worth my time writing.
your grandma also looks worn down. is she getting enough sleep?
man looked like that for years wdym
I like the content man.
now if only the housing market and economy in general would correct itself as well. For things to get better they must first go down and stabilize. the tech market was not sustainable in its prior levels.
Not gonna happen
"Stabilising" isn't exactly what many people are thinking it to be. The people that got laid off will just stop existing and the job shortage will go away? Every single person laid off is an addition to the unemployed labour pool, further making existing jobs more difficult to get.
It seems like in exactly a year from now, lots of people will be destitute with no job prospects at all, including programmers at all levels.
Hi Nick, i agree with a bunch of what you've said but I just want to say that it's a little misleading (just in my opinion) to say that if you aren't keeping up with no-code tech you may get left behind. That is just not true imo. You can pick up no-code tooling, on the job, like overnight. It's simple asf. Employers want to see your programming skills, not your no-code skills. I've never seen a job listing specify no-code experience as a req. If you are going to apply to a role where you will be writing code day to day, they do not care at all about no-code experience up front. You also don't necessarily need to excel at leetcode-esque DSA as a brand new junior. I know its fashionable to tell newbies otherwise. But if you aren't applying for FAANG or big tech roles then you are not very likely to be asked to reverse a linked list, write merge sort from scratch, refactor some quadratic nested loop to in-place O(n), etc. In 2020 when I was first hired, my interviews were asking practical questions like 'how can you handle this incredibly large csv with streams in javascript without libraries', or 'demonstrate you know what inheritance is' or 'when is it appropriate to use x pattern over y pattern' and so on. I don't believe that has changed. Companies care about the skills that generate revenue and the demonstration - as a junior - that you have the potential to learn and grow. No doubt that in the years since then, learning time and space efficient algos and whatnot has been powerful for my work as a backend developer. But it was in no way related to me getting hired as a junior, which is who you're targeting in this video right? For context I am an engineer at a Cloud PACS company (medical imaging platform, to paraphrase greatly). We are an SME. We are not big tech but we ingest and disseminate tens of millions of medical images and reports, and this demands precision, innovation, adherence to security best practices, and compute efficiency. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this if you read my comment. Have a nice day.
Yeah f this. I'm out. Its liberating to say it. Studied for a solid year+, got several interviews in the last half of 2022, some for multiple rounds, and was improving with each one. That world is gone. With early 2023 getting an interview became a monumental task. The game has changed and its not one Im willing to play. One less competitor for you hopeful types, good luck! Coding will continue to change and get easier. The good news is it will become more and more available for anyone to create things more easily, although there will be less entry to high paying jobs doing it.
Yeah man, I just don't know anymore. Trying to get a job for 3 months, not a single response from any company except for the automated template saying how grateful they are for my applying.
I'm working at my job right now and get contacted by recruiters often. I have a little over 2 years experience right now. I'm bored of this job even though I have excelled at it. The thought of jumping through all these hoops for companies makes me want to get into a different field. Nobody wants to contribute to open source and build a million projects, be a master at front/back end. Learn 50 languages. SQL, source control , LEETCODE (which you will never use in your actual job). They want a genius for every position. After work, I want to relax and do things I like, not continue to code or work, this is gotten to be a little much, and I think i'm very close to just saying F it myself and doing something else. And don't even mention the threat of AI. I'm not worried about AI taking my job, I'm worried about hearing about someone saying AI is going to take my job that is going to make me quit because It's non stop.
MR FEAST!
man gained like 20 pounds lmao
How should a fresher get a job in the current market?
Newbies are competing against experienced programmers, software engineers, etc plus AI. Even experienced people are struggling due to AI. You have to be responsible with advice you give mate. Current market It’s tough.
lol my boss at my company says to not use chatgpt...
basically dont learn javascript and you will find a job everyone is learning reactjs now, focus on java or c# plenty of job not much competition
I'm a new programmer and just stumbled across your video but what makes your opinion valid? Who is you and what are your skilttles/asscomplishments
he is a major shareholder in DoorDash
He's a software engineer that got a degree in Computer Science. He had internships, and dev jobs, then went on to develop a KZhead channel that explained programming concepts. After that, he developed courses for AlgoExpert and now has his own courses and community on the various platforms mentioned in this video and video description.
can he modify the algorythm to get me more dashes please @@wildmemes2530
He has tons of skittles
Too bad. In 2024 web dev is not worth it anymore, The market is taugh, layoffs rampant, decreasing wages. The industry is oversaturated with to many engineers. There is more demanding market in IT such as data analyst, IA, etc.
Nice Video sir
I feel like there’s so much shit talked on the university approach and that’s understandable but read this to know how the uni approach can work. I understand I’m privileged no need to let me know: went to CC for a while and got As since I was able to dedicate myself to school and a weekend job. Got into every UC for CS and/or math with As, CS tutoring exp, and 5 and a half years working a high stress/crisis oriented job, and as much effort as possible put into my personal essays. Went one of the more rigorous UCs. Poured my life and soul into it and applied to more internships than I can count. Each junior year got 1 FANG internship accept and did not get return offer at end. Senior year got 1 offer from good company not FANG but still very good. Got return offer for that. Came into job after grad with no practical skills. Worked my ass off to get them on the job. Worked overtime and created a support system using soft skills to help me survive. Finally a strong contributor to important applications about 1 year into the job. Currently flourishing in job.
Listen to this 45 year old man, he knows what he's talking about.
I’m making a serious career change to learning web development but now I’m questioning everything
That definitely warrants serious questioning
Learn web dev if you like it, but as an inexperienced person, don't expect a job anytime soon.
@@Dipj01 might just get an IT help desk roll and build from there, I enjoy coding on the side but maybe cyber security is a path worth looking.
@@iCreamDonuts an IT help desk role is not a bad idea. You can still learn development on the side. Even better if your company also had developers. Would be a great way to eventually get one of those roles
I have a strange feeling that I’ve already seen this video months ago
The problem started when i decided to learn to code. Everything i touch turns to a loss
Fromsoft pivoted away from business software to gaming, not overnight, because of shifting market factors. Smart developers will do the same. As someone who maintains several large and outdated systems, I CANNOT stress enough how important it is to leave good notes. The idiots who coded some of this stuff literally cost the company millions.
you literally copy pasted ur title form tech with tim
and the thumbnail and probably the entire content of the video.
What's an example of "no code" tech I need to know? I use ChatGPT all the time!!!... to tell me what code means because I'm a fudge-king moron, so I guess that puts me at the head of the class!
Thanks for explaining this, Nick. Coding is not only changing, but DYING. Layoffs are here! It's the end of the self taught programmer, and is programming dead? Coding layoffs!
How in the world is it dying? Technology brings innovation and in far future it won't ever die. The sub industries in tech are changing or getting done, yea that's true because of ai. Rest,there will be new things coming.
is coding dead?@@som6553
Clearly Cole is just here for the sake of commenting...
Is it "dying" because companies are tired of clout chasers wanting the big check and "day in the life of" snacking/lounging around content instead of the pleasure that comes from solving problems with computers?
Is coding dying?@@SimGunther
its so over
my one frnd jus hates gpt's and ai stuff , as people copy a lot , and also some time ago they use to suck , but it can be very much helpful , as you can use those tools in learning and learning more, even if you don't get a job in any company ,you can always use that knowledge , and give it to others , "learning shouldn't be stopped"
“learning shouldn’t be stopped” - take that to heart with your grammar, man

False there will be 8billion programmers bc people will use English to write software
c'mon why make your title exactly the same as TechWithTim's video? :/ Like this is a good video, but you really just shamelessly took my man's title like that?
.
Honestly there needs to be legislation to control this stuff, now every bum goes online and wants to be a software engineer. Meanwhile people went to engineering schools and studied their butts off and can’t find jobs
Why the fk would you regulate the job market... Just because someone studied for 3-4 years versus someone who took an online course, doesn't mean they are better. Academic knowledge vs practical knowledge. In the past it was academia vs trade schools. One gets you vast knowledge, the other gets you a job. Experience usually matters more. Unless you apply to companies that require this intimate knowledge and break new ground, why would you take someone from academia rather than someone with experience? People should choose a path wisely. If one never cared for the knowledge of academia, then going there was a waste. I learned the skills I need for my job and almost nothing more so I spent only a few months and barely any money and now I work as a programmer. I was a little lucky but also smart in how I approached it. At the end of the day you need a job to be done. You don't care who does it. And people with lesser education (such as myself) are cheaper but bring great value and if they do a good job, here comes an easy promotion. You are not owed a job because you went to get a degree. You are not owed anything. Go make some projects so you also have experience. Go make connections so it's easier to get hired when there are openings. Or go learn a different trade if you don't want to bother. Regulations are the worst thing that can happen to a market. The more you push it, the worse it will get. That being said, good luck hunting!
Yeah you shouldn't get coddled just because you were a dumbass and spent thousands and several years on a degree. What needs to happen is the wages come down.

Wow couldn't even come up with your own video idea?
I got 8 years of iOS dev experience - I’m eating potatoes and learning AI stuff for like a year now… I can’t compete with generated CWs and wannabes that memorise all the answers from frequently asked questions, that interviewers got their list from. I’ve lost numerous positions to some fake mofos that couldn’t handle the job and seen that position open in 1-2 months. Sadly, I’m too entitled now to try competing with “zoom actors”. Better work on automating these parasites out of their jobs huehuehue😅

bro iam waiting for 6 years for your song ... " iam in love with my recruiter part 2 brah " !!!
Lots of bad advice in this video lol. Getting a degree is by far the easiest way to get a job, especially if you can land a internship. Nobody gives a shit about your portfolio or personal projects, and chasing trends is often a waste of time. The most important thing is your experience and the companies you've worked for. Thanks for confirming this by mentioning chatgpt. Easy to tell the charletans from the people who actually understand what they're doing.
Brother not only coding but' most of Jobs will be taken by AI before 2035 ,why people spending their time on coding??? Do you know this mass layoff we seeing the last three year ? companies Gradually chapping Employees cover it With Robots (AI) One engineer making or creating Robots that is his replacement !!!
Don't need your recommendation get out of my feed algorithm. Thi is getting really annoying.
