The tech job market doesn't look good. It's highly highly oversaturated with far more candidates than actual jobs. It was the natural outcome of all the marketing that happened over tech. So the outcome is very natural. And even if the job market is oversaturated, people who had some experience computers from early on has an upperhand and probably a higher probability to get ahead others. So I'll be fine.

The impact of AI on tech jobs specifically, what it would look like is not clear yet, so I'm not gonna talk about that. But good experience and expertise should always thrive. Halting problem and Rice's theorem when applied to AI, it's very clear it won't ever become "AGI" whatever the fancy term means. It will never be superintelligent but might excel at certain tasks or even jobs, be as good as qualified humans. But even then, AI has the fundamental property to hallucinate but it's not a problem for humans. And at the end of the day someone has to take responsibility to be reliable, to make the right calls, who can take blame when things go bad.

Lastly, another very good advice I heard from Casey Simpson's video who heard the advice from another YouTuber, to not focus on a very specific job. Instead be flexible and whatever opportunity arises take it. I have some prior experience with DevOps, infrastructure kind of work. I am trying to learn system programming in C at the moment. So my goal is just to have a broad skillset and whichever opportunity I find, I will take it. It could be in academia, in teaching, it could be a corporate job, it could be my own small business.
