I am taking a professional development course from a popular creator group called ZeroToMastery. Like many popular courses nowadays, they funnel students to their Discord for assistance/finding accountability buddies, but also to invest further in the brand and probably buy even more courses. Really smart idea.
They have it set up so that everyone ends up in the same introduction channel, even if you are taking different courses, and then from there, you can jump to your specific course's channel.
What's getting to me is that the vast majority of people are taking Web Dev courses.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like long-term, the clock is ticking on the industry. Microsoft Copilot is just the beginning, as it came out this week that
OpenAI is hiring developers to make ChatGPT better at coding.
I could be wrong, but I feel like as more coders' tasks get delegated to ML, their wages will stagnate and/or their skillset will have to become extremely specialized/advanced. Yes, the average new person will be able to get a job in the next 1-3 years, but in 4-10 years I feel like they will have to do a hard pivot.
