Not nearly as bad as the now headline news presents.

Tech unemployment is still just about the lowest of any industry. Pay remains competitive (although nothing like the $200k entry level jobs of the 1990s). The labor demand is definitely growing, both domestically and globally.

Silicon Valley is shedding jobs. But if you go chase a job at EPIC up in Wisconsin or JP Morgan out in New York or take a job at Deloitte or SAP or Schlumberger, you’ll find them. Look for positions in the airline or finance or real estate or energy industries, there’s a superabundance of work and a perpetual shortage of labor.

Most of these big corporate outfits are glued to Microsoft products, though. Oracle also remains a popular database environment. Or they’re using some proprietary nonsense - Dell Boomi for visual programming of interfaces or UIPath for botting or some other ill-conceived overpriced insanity.

But - at least where I’m sitting - AI hasn’t replaced shit. My office is still trying to implement Agile and we’re a Fortune 100 company.
