I graduated in 2002, just as the dot com bubble burst. Similar scary headlines abounded then. I’m not employed in it, but I don’t recall the tech sector disappearing and us all going to live in caves. Maybe I missed it?
Same, 2001 comp sci grad, and these are the same things I heard back then, still in tech and honestly theres been many boom and bust cycles I’ve lived through in this industry.
Tech and software aren’t going anywhere, anytime soon but there will be a salary correction just like back then.
The problem this time around is that companies think junior developers can be replaced with AI. This is delusion. Some think they can replace senior developers with AI. This is LSD heroic dose delusion.
These delusions will work themselves out in a few years, after a very painful burst bubble, but right now it means junior developers aren’t getting hired. In 10 years, there will be a shortage of senior developers because all the missing juniors now will translate into missing seniors then.

10 years from now I’ll have 16 years of experience. Bring on the senior shortage, I’ll milk it for a decade and retire at 50 hopefully.
