The Current Landscape
- The Bad
- Economy is not stable
- AI is becoming better and better
- Layoffs are happening more and more
- Overhiring during covid flooded the market with more junior and intermediate developers then it can handle right now
- The Good
- Democratization of POC creation allows for anyone to test out ideas quickly and see if anything sticks. More startups might be made from this
- AI is absolutely not anywhere near being able to replace a decent developer in a large codebase
- The AI tools make it easier to learn and write better code faster
- Companies are still hiring developers (even the ones that are building tools to replace them have not stopped hiring)
- Learn and stay up to date with the latest AI tools
- Dive deeper into the most popular and in demand languages and frameworks
- Double down, become someone that can take a bad codebase and make it better
- Network, network, network
- Social media
- Local meetups
- Conferences
- Open source
- Build something you and others might use and market it
- Try to find something to build that would actually be useful to someone
- Prove you can solve complex technical hurdles
- Build it in public, market it so others know about it and that you’re building it
- Todo apps are great to learn a tech stack but not great show pieces, build something a bit outside the common example project box
- If you’re in school, double down on networking there
- Prove to everyone in any class or group project that you’re in that you’re one of the best coders there
- If anyone gets jobs and there are openings, why wouldn’t they suggest someone that helped them during their projects?
- Niche down
- Find areas of development that you think might have immediate impact but aren’t overly saturated with people
- Our journey
- Learned chrome app/extension development and got our first major contract
- Learned web3 and got two major contracts
- Dove into webflow early and have had constant work
- Examples:
- Cross platform development (react-native, cordova, etc)
- Desktop apps
- Performance
- Security
- Web3
- Cyfrin Updraft full-stack web 3 course
- AI integration
