What do you all think of software development as a field in the future?
I am a final year CS student.

My biggest concerns in the software development field is:

- No barriers to entry. Computer """""science""""" grads can pretend it's difficult, but anyone with a STEM degree or just anyone with above average intelligence can learn to code. You have lawyers, engineers and even arts graduates becoming developers, but you don't see CS grads working as electrical/mechanical engineers or lawyers. There are no unions.

- Outsourcing. This isn't a surprise. But big companies like Microsoft, HP and Dell have offices in India and now even in the Phillipines. Software development requires you have a mediocre PC and that's all.

- Can't accumulate knowledge capital. It's common to hear stories of 40 to 50 year old devs who are fired and can't find work so they're driving buses. This is because programming is very dynamic and constantly changing. And most of the change is for the worst. Look at the web and notice how websites are fucking bloated and slow, and load 30mbs of javascript. Also although languages like java and c# are almost identical (microsoft made c# as an alternative to java made by sun) your experience in java will not be recognized. Employers are adamant you have exactly 5 years experience in C#, even if you are an experienced software developer with years of experience in C++.

- Immigration. This relates to the previous point. Employers go to the government and complain that they cant find the exact person with exactly 5 years of C# knowledge or knowledge in the latest web technology and so they import people on h1b visas. Even though its relatively easy to learn another language and for a seasoned developer it takes less than a month to really learn most of the intricacies of that language.

I am thinking about studying engineering or accounting, but accounting will be automated within a decade or two. what are you are all thoughts?

[Anonymous No.13041451]

>>13041434
As a CS grad, your concerns are pretty much spot on. It's actually pretty tough to find a job. Businesses are clueless when it comes to hiring - a developer who has been coding for a few years can easily pick up a new language and start running with it, but it doesn't matter.
I'm learning creative skills on the side to make sure I don't get fucked when AI comes.

[Anonymous No.13041475]

>>13041451
Here is the thing. Developers won't necessarily be in trouble when AI rolls out. But where ever AI has been rolled out jobs in that field have shrunk considerably. Decades from now if America or whatever country embraces an AI economy. There will be work for electrical engineer and programmers. But there will be a lot less jobs in those fields, and I imagine they will only be open to those with PhDs from prestigious schools. But that's not my concern. My concern is now, and the immediate future.

There will always be a human element. And I do agree - functions like payroll, which is already outsourced to india, will become automated. However, CPAs will always deal with PEOPLE. Whether it is intra-generational wealth transfer, or auditing financial statements to reduce the cost of capital, high level accounting will not fade out to robots within the next several decades.

Bro if your job can be broken down a series of conditional statement (if x is true, or while x is true) then it can be automated.

And yes coding is straightforward but if it is software that is going to be used for millions of dollars worth of work then it will be handled by expert software engineer since these companies can afford to throw that money around.

R is not a language you write full-fledged software packages in. Python is terrible again for full-fledged software. Very slow and bloated. Only good for scripts, small programs and prototyping.

You say it won't be automated. Again, I am looking to move into accounting. Please explain why computers can't do the work of accountants? And if you say human interaction from what I understand this involves speaking and discussing the project/deal whatever with the client. Sure, this won't be automated. But it will greatly reduce the number of people needed to do the accounting of a mid-sized firm.

R is a language I can take hundreds of thousands of observations and visualize. That is what it is good for - data analytics.

If you want to move into accounting, then go public. Things like transaction structuring will never be automated. BOOKEEPERS will be automated, yes. This has been coming for quite some time. However, CPAs will never be automated.

Accounting is dynamic. Every year there is new tax legislation, new accounting standards, different market conditions. Accountants are able to adapt and react and program the future.

I don't even know. Software engineering was taught to me almost as a form of art when I was in college, but out in the real world frameworks already do everything for you and your job is to just maintain them. I'm wanting to jump back into gamedev as a hobby, but with me trying to be /fit/ this year and the amount of busywork I have to take care of, the amount of free time I have is limited. Hopefully I'll be able to make it during the next buttcoin bull run so that I can retire early and work on vidya; I've been saving most of my spare income because I don't really know what to do with it, which means I have a lot more money to spend on crypto this time around than last time (though I made a sizable amount during the last bull run too)

Lmao at all these AI posts. AI is an overhyped meme. All the recent advancements are just improvements in existing weak AI technology (aka fake intelligence). AI is a huge fucking bubble and is fundamentally limited in the types of problems it can solve, and the fact that every problem solvable by AI requires massive amounts of data and custom tailoring to work well.

Any job that requires high order thinking and creativity won’t be automated until we get strong AI which is probably 50 years away, minimum.

Now we might find convenient ways of automating software development of very common pieces of software, say crud apps. But what people ignore is that software development has ALWAYS been getting increasingly automated. Compilers, automatic garbage collection, IDE’s with advanced code completion, scaffolding tools to generate boilerplate code, those are all forms of automation. SWE is orders of magnitude more automated than it was a few decades ago yet there are more jobs than ever with high as fuck pay. All automation does for us as developers is increase the capability and relevance of our work.

How much creativity is there law and accounting? You have to pretty much do things by the book.

Also you guys don't understand. This won't mean there will not be any accountants or lawyers for that matter. Rather there will be a massively reduced demand for those professions. Unless you're an absolute expert/specialist.

Also the AI learns and adaps to its environment and can devise new ways that are successful. As evidenced by its ability to beat world class players.

Also the Accounting/Finance automation posts in this topic are retarded. Technology will fundamentally change the nature of the work that Accountants do, but its unlikely to eliminate the job or necessarily even decrease demand. Case in point: corporate operations research & future forecasting/budgeting existed before the creation of spreadsheet software, but the creation of spreadsheet software increased the demand for the FP&A side of Corporate Finance groups because it was suddenly possible to model a massive number of theoretical financial scenarios at the line item level.

I live a fulfilling and simplistic lifestyle and need little to no materialism to live my happily.

Unlike the wage fags I have all the time in the world to do what-ever I reasonably desired within my own interests without having to own up to some authority figure.

To think anon, too bad you chose not to live the NEET life.

Don't ever be afraid of school loan debts fellow anons so long as you know that you'll actually finish and the degree you're majoring in will make you real money.

> Cope for being "poorfag"
Kek, I'm rich in my life because my life is fulfilling.

I have no wish to slave my time to some corporate boss in some lame job, if I ever wanted to pursue such materialistic wishes I'd be doing what you're doing.

Keep kissing big bosses ass anon, I'll raise a glass to your conventional thirst for useless material things.
