The tech industry is turning its back on programmers in favor of AI, but this move may be a disastrous mistake. Aspiring programmers are no longer getting the hands-on experience they need to truly understand coding and problem-solving. Companies are laying off engineers to rely on AI-generated code, only to find themselves facing security breaches and software failures. Experienced programmers who foresaw this chaos are becoming invaluable, with rates that will make executives cringe. The tech industry is in for a rude awakening as it realizes that AI cannot replace the expertise and critical thinking of real engineers. Good luck, tech industry – you’re going to need it.
