A friend of mine, Matt, has been a software developer for decades. We worked together as Developer Advodates at Rackspace. He's a Ruby expert, but has a lot of experience in other languages as well. If I owned a software company, I'd hire him.
He's out of work -- by no fault of his own -- and just cannot find a job. It's terrible. As he describes it, jobs as software developers are just not available.
I moved from pure software developer to Developer Advocate in 2013, then from advocate to developer marketing in 2018. I am so incredibly thankful that I made the move when I did.
I recall, in 2018, I was speaking to a user group when an attendee asked me "What do you see as the next big trend in software development?". This was when containers, Docker and Kubernetes were the things.
"Artificial intelligence" was my immediately reply. "I see no reason why we can't use software to write software."
Oh how correct I was.
