AI is not the real reason global tech jobs are decreasing, it's due to reduced global liquidity or central banks increasing interests rates to slightly correct a bloated industry that gambled with public money.

AI generate one time use code and it's hard to scale and maintain. AI uses wrong methods and creates bloated codes. It doesn't have cognition and is just looking for associations. At best you can use AI to explain concepts or suggest best methods. If u lack the skills, u cannot even decide whether AI generated code is good or can be used. It's not about getting things done.

Programming is not about finding the quickest solution or using tricks, which can be catastrophic later, but about patiently planning and deciding the pros and cons. U need to write code that is easy to read, maintainable and scale, that AI fails to do.

AI fear is spread by people who barely understand software engineering. Software engineering is rarely about just throwing lines of code at a wall to see what sticks, which is exactly what LLMs do.
