I graduated in 2002, just as the dot com bubble burst. Similar scary headlines abounded then. I'm not employed in it, but I don't recall the tech sector disappearing and us all going to live in caves. Maybe I missed it?

CS jobs have been scanrt for the past 10years, biotech similarly have the same issues as well.(biotech research, but not people who for bio>health), i like to add biology has been mostly geared towards being female dominated as well, at the expense and neglect men who wants to be in bio.
I don’t like my job so I went back to school for tech. Not for the salary, but because I genuinely enjoy it. After 8 months of applying, I got 1 phone interview.
The job I hate went fully remote around that time and I just gave up entirely. I’ll just keep doing a job I hate but at least I can work at home.

AI slop will probably get good enough to do basic tasks. So, companies who only need a little programming talent may be able to get by on shitty AI code instead of hiring a second or third developer.
Hey look, it's the late 90' and early 2000's again.
