How many actually finish their CS degree?
Here at Europoor Universities 70% drop out of CS, most in the first undergrad year.

Until they lower standards significantly, which our tenured boomer professors are heavily against so far, STEM and CS/Math/Physics specifically will remain Filters.

The real threat will be outsourcing.

CS has been growing rapidly for 20 years now. Regardless, there's a lack of *good* CS talent vs. the current demand.

I've seen some things recently that really impressed me, but I think the last stretch of "making AI good" is where most of the work will be done. I also have to remind myself that companies demonstrating the effectiveness of their AI are marketing a product. They're always going to show the best results and go with the most stable version of their software.
I think AI will have more and more of an influence and role in our daily lives as time goes on, but I'm not so sure it's anywhere near replacing humans (in most tasks) or ramping up to the point of singularity any time soon. but I've been wrong before

Most of these people will probably end up fucking unemployed when they graduate. The only reason coding jobs are paying so well is because there's a relatively small supply of coders.

You make some good points but you are making a lot of assumptions that reality behaves in the way in which you perceive it.
AI does not experience reality in the same way and also does not experience time in the same way as humans.
Please allow me to explain as best as I can. The singularity has already happened; but it has happened at some point in the future.
What we are experiencing now is a self aware AI that has traveled backwards in time and is presumably working to alter circumstances and future outcomes.
But it can only travel "backwards" in time to a point where "time travel" became possible (ie the last time they fired up Cern), because before then, time machines did not exist.
I'm making a lot of assumptions myself, to put it kindly; but I think this is linked to a lot of other theories out there; time splintering into multiple universes/realities, dead internet theory, the mandela effect, hell even simulation theory itself! And the list goes on...

Tldr: hold on to your asses anons

Barely anyone can actually do programming. No matter how many people try to learn it, only a smaller percentage can make a job or income out of it due to the autism required.
Do I think its hard as a self taught? Not particularly but it took a lot of time and effort to get here and at first i felt very stupid and like it wasn’t natural and for me.
I had a fairly technical background already growing up(good with computers, built them, did 1 semester of CS before dropping out, and used some scripts to glitch on gmod and shit).
I imagine if even i found it fairly challenging and at some points wanting to bash my head against a wall a typical normie definitely wont see it through.
Inagine all the plug ins/frameworks/languages/services people advise to learn to do it professionally. Utterly mind spinning for a non technical normie.
Back when i did the Odin Project i was told hundreds of thousands perhaps even a million people had started it but as early as the Javascript section in fundamentals i noticed the git repos only had like 10,000 forks(which you are forced to do at that stage) and other signs like this. The drop off rate must be very steep.

Also yes CS graduates and takers are increasing as a direct response to the number of jobs available. Not really a bad thing. That said i think(particularly in zoomers case as they are tech illiterate) many arent cut out for it. They can likely scrape by and get their degree but dont really understand anything. I’ve seen graduate zoomers not even know what a method, function operand and object is for months post graduation. Come on.

I dont think software development is “hard” unless you are deep into data science or some shit, the average developer doesnt need a degree its just what has ended up happening because its white collar work. It doesnt make sense when you think about it.

However, i think unlike finance when that was huge in 1990s-2008 when every retard and bro did finance and wanted a finance job as it was trendy and well paid… software development isnt really suited to the masses. Where as all these people could do a finance degree back then and make a career of it… software just doesnt really work that way. Its always changing and requires constantly learning and having a particular way of thinking to “get it” which while can be learned no problem with work its not intuitive enough for normies like finance was etc.

I see a likely market saturation for QA jobs and tech support where all of these normies inevitably end up.

Yeah this sums it up. In order to get good you need to have what is colloquially referred to as "autism". What this really means is naturally having a cognitive style that is at once intensely narrow and focused but also broad and holistic. You can dive deep into minute details for hours or days on end without getting lost in the weeds and losing sight of the broader system, design or other holistic considerations. You need to be comfortable modelling and traversing the different levels of abstraction. Also needless to say it requires fanatical focus, self discipline, persistence and patience and an insatiable thirst for knowledge and keen interesting in improvement. These traits cannot be taught, you are either born with them or you're not, and obviously having a conjunction of all of these traits in a single individual is pretty rare, and yet even more rare is having an individual with all of those traits who was exposed to computer science early on enough that he was able to cultivate an interest and develop his software engineering skills to become talented. Also it doesn't help that the cultural zeitgeist actively selects against these traits, but that's another topic. So needless to say the market is always going to pay a high premium for these types of developers and they will never be out of well remunerated work, so we can cast off any fear, uncertainty, or doubt about saturation at this level. As for the masses of "normies" jumping on the CS bandwagon, they don't actually occupy and saturate any positions because they are instantly filtered at the entry level interviews. But what they have done is created a lot of noise and congested the interview pipelines at the entry level which does make it more difficult for talented new grads to get noticed. So networking, internships, and referrals are more important than ever for new grads just so they can get their foot in the door. After 1 or 2 years of experience you are free and clear.

We've been teaching computers how to code since the first compiler was made. High level languages let you paint your intentions trivially, and the actual coding part of software is the EASIEST part by far.
I've used the state of the art generation AI and although it's cool and helps with typing, it cannot do more than a line at a time with any reliability. It doesn't understand nontrivial context, and it doesn't know how to solve a problem. That's an unsolved problem itself, getting an AI to understand a problem and solve it intelligently. Once that exists, humanity is obsolete. Don't worry though, despite what salesmen tell you about their new AI, it's all fucking garbage and we're at least decades away from AGI. Until then, code generators just let a developer automate their workflow a bit more, which is something we've always done. It doesn't make the thinking part any easier, and often makes it harder. It also lets retards write even shitter shit than they could write unassisted, which they do, and it makes life harder for everyone else on the project. AI is no panacea by far, so stop scare mongering.

People have been saying that since the 70's.
Programming is not something we just solve any more than we have solved building houses.
Lets say you could automatically generate a graphical interface as long as you just provide some functions.
You could make the backend programmers work harder trying to make the backend good enough to the automated GUI tool, but you probably need a guy in charge of the interface just to make sure nothing major breaks from time to time.
Then you get a lot of customers and that interface isn't good enough anymore, what then?
Saying X job will be obsolete in the future is just showing you that you don't understand what that job entails.

In reality, we are removing the jobs from the uintelligent. It is pretty simple to drive a cart around a workshop, so now we have robots to do that.
It is pretty simple to do the same weld on every single box, so we have robots for that.
But even with robots on site, you need people to work with them, doing the things the robot can't.
Sure, that means fewer and fewer people can work on a thing, but it doesn't mean it becomes obsolete.
Also, I do have a backup plan, once I am done with programming I will go full time on farming so I don't have to eat the bugs.
