Genuinely ~30% of the people I talked to had trouble in one of the following categories:

1.) Basic Hygiene (breath or BO smell)
2.) Basic Presentation (wearing dirty clothes/not trying to dress to impress at all)
3.) Basic Communication (eye contact, telling me basic info about themselves, being rude, acting obviously only interested in trying to get a leg up in the hiring process vs acting like a normal human)

I have to think these are the people on here complaining about being unable to find work.

EDIT: not trying to be mean and some of them may have had bad days. But genuinely I don’t know how some of these people expect to work on software at a corporation. You HAVE to be able to work with people in a team/group.

People keep saying that AI will end Software/tech jobs, but genuinely it’s going to do quite the opposite.

Everyone is going to need to be a computer scientist. Those that already are, have a great advantage. There’s never been a better time to study CS.

Example: a PM will still struggle to write good software with AI. A decently sociable engineer will not struggle to replace your PM with AI.

Anyone that thinks the “non-technical” business people are going to win in this situation are kidding themselves. Any developer can pivot into a PM/Business role easily. The other way around is not so simple. Computer skills and understanding AI will be of paramount importance in the next 10-20 years. If every job is automated by computers, the only ones left will be those that know how to use/apply them.

Edit: getting a lot of replies that are confusing the current bad job market with over saturation, “AI layoffs” and high unemployment pointing to the death of CS.

This market is mostly an economic game at the moment, not an AI thing, or an over saturation thing. Look up the Taxes and Jobs Act that caused Software salaries to start Amortizing differently for businesses in 2022, then look at the sharp decline in job postings because there was a massive boom to get people in before. Companies knew it was coming ing and hired big in the 2019-2022 range.

The jobs will come back (maybe not to the all time highs, literally anyone with a pulse got hired), but over the course of the next 30 years, even if you are having trouble finding a job right now, keeping your Computer Science skills and knowledge sharp will pay more than any other field.
