  1. how? Head hunters are more active than ever these days, looks like the market is booming. And I do not see any signs of developers being out of demand any time soon.

  2.  @itrollallot9780  job market is booming, it's not that directly connected to the stock market. I only see demand for developers growing, I get recruiter calls every day and they're more pushy than ever before. May depend on location though, can only speak of London.

  3. And yet, every single coder who went into this industry for money turned out to be mediocre at best. Never seen an opposite example, not once in my over 30 years career.

  8. have you tried it? It cannot write code, so relax and keep studying. Code LLMs write is awful, mostly useless, and requires more human attention than the code written by a human, which pretty much defeats the purpose. And it is not going to change with models getting better, as the problem of LLMs being confidently wrong won't be fixed.

  9. Luckily, Emacs is not a "thing", so it beats vim squarely.
