Unemployment in software coding and programming is high

Here’s why unemployment in software coding and programming is so high - AI

“So software coding and programming, you can really see how AI has made that much more efficient,” Prising said. “And you can see it also come through in the unemployment rate for software programmers here in the U.S., which is above 7% right now, and we’re at 4.2% unemployment for the country.”

cant imagine what it will be like in another 10 years

Low level software programming jobs have been offshored for over a decade. If they interviewed Manpower, those jobs will be low level programming jobs.

That's why you see this:

“From an immigration perspective, right now, as we all know, immigration really drove a lot of the economic growth that we’ve seen over a number of years,” Prising said. “But as it relates to our business today, we’re not seeing any impact that we can directly relate to a tougher immigration policy.”

AI programming is not good.

Is that why nobody cares about what happened with the NLRB data?

AI coding assistants are good IF you know the difference between good code and bad code.

Time to shutdown H1B and Student Visas we have plenty of US tech folks

They ignore the federal IT people who are there to protect all Americans data, so why hire any more?

We don't. Americans get drunk and shoot guns while Indians and Chinese study and practice.

Disinformation and purposely inflammatory.

Who codes the AI?

Ain't that the truth.

Depends on the code repos. Some companies use pure open source software code repos (curated to exclude copyleft licenses), while others have trained their AIs on the Internet generally. The latter is what gets you into trouble because you don't know the provenance of the code used.

AI programmers are kind of like lions. Big cats for big game.

IMO AI has made it easier for one coder to handle a large proportion of the "small stuff". It has also made it possible to do somethings that weren't possible before. However, these newer more challenging things are really hard. I can never really predict when the AI functions are just going to fail. It's not like traditional programming where the inputs and outputs are well defined and the results are repeatable.

I don't think we needed to evolve nearly as fast as we have in the past twenty years. It's totally artificial due to immigration. This is what you wanted. I am the best in the world at what I do, what can you say for yourself? Start talking.

AI is great for helping annotate code, catch mistakes on the fly, etc... it cannot replace a high-performing, creative programmer. Those are rare, so low-level coding functions will likely be replaced by AI.

It's made it much easier for me to whip out thousands of lines of code. The AI is pretty bad at large programs, but it sure does make writing functions easier.
