Microservices are bits of code written and deployed independently to run in connection with other bits of code and exchange data through an API.
This is a serious problem. Joe just completed a work that two developers in an organisation would have done for three days. He did in 3 hours.
As a programmer, this isn't a time for mediocrity. You either go hard and become the top 1% or go home.
AI won't replace developers anytime soon. But it will make the existing ones so efficient and powerful there will be no need to hire more than one dev.
In the last major staff meeting, Mark Zuckerberg kept repeating one word - "Efficiency" and deploying every method to improve efficiency.
In the same meeting, he said fewer than 10,000 would lose their Facebook jobs. Why? Efficiency.
As for the people coming into programming. I welcome you but be warned - the streets are about to become more slippery.
You must clench the belt with your teeth and grit to make any headway.
The world has moved past what we know and understand. Ai has come to sit, and many more will realise that tech jobs are no longer as wide west as we know.
Companies won't look for junior Devs any longer.
They will pay for premium AI tools and give senior devs more access to tools to make them beasts.
More will be delivered for less.
Is the future of tech Over?
No.
Currently, from what I have seen this past few days with GPT-4, I can write my Blockchain, create tokens, and build a DEX in a few days.
With GPT-3, I could copy code in a language I don't know, and as it explains it using terms from another language, I know better.
GPT-4 takes it a step further; you can supply it with a GitHub link that will tell you what the repo does, scan each of the freaking files and explain the code to you like you're a child!!!
Getting a Tech Job just got harder.
Spend more time on tools rather than on skills.
Ai is taking us all to where we don't know, but make sure you are at the front of the wave.
Research new tools and how they can aid in writing your regular codes, the era of Youtube videos won't matter in the coming years.
Be first in any new technology.
AI takes no prisoner, and they won't be a second wave of slackers.
Wake up.
