I still think nearly everyone should learn to code. That is not why these layoffs are happening.

I think nearly everyone should learn how to manage their virtual environment on a technical level but idk about full on coding. Just being able to attach documents to an email or wrangle proper MFA and/or password management would be a godsend.

But now GPT can code. It’s possible the narrative is changing.

I’m NOT saying that software engineers are getting replaced, but the kinds of things you learn in a boot camp, gluing APIs together and searching StackOverflow for code snippets, seems like it’s on more shaky ground than a few years ago.

It was already on enormously shaky ground a few years ago.
