In 2 to 3 years time, all you will need is a prompt to build a complete application from frontend to backend. AI will surely replace a lot.

Programmer Salaries Are Rising as Software Demand Rises

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told a Federal Reserve conference that programmers are seeing dramatic salary increases as artificial intelligence makes them more productive while global demand for software explodes.

Speaking at the Capital Framework for Large Banks conference on July 22, Altman said computer programmers are now "10 times more productive" with AI assistance, but rather than threatening their jobs, this productivity boost is driving up their earnings.

"The world wants a gigantic amount more software, 100 times maybe a thousand times more software," Altman said, explaining why programmer salaries are "going up extremely rapidly in Silicon Valley" despite AI's capabilities. - Culled from finalroundai

Programming skill is a prerequisite to AI, and also the foundation of software development.
Developing programming skill is essential to staying to stay relevant in the present and future.

Let us share the story of the advent of spreadsheets and automation in accounting.
Accounting practice was extremely laborious back then, and when spreadsheets and automation arrived, many predicted the end of the accounting profession.

The advent of spreadsheets and automation has not eliminated the need for accountants. Instead, it has revolutionized the profession, creating new opportunities for accountants to focus on higher-value tasks and make more significant contributions to corporate success.
This is what is currently happening in the software development profession and will continue to happen in the foreseeable future.

There is never a better moment to become a software developer than now!

If you want to find out if coding is for you and have access to a little equipment and bandwidth, there are plenty of free options. Just search for “free apps to learn how to code” and give it a try. Have fun, and good luck!

With the way AI is going, to learn soft skills now dey fear me.

Mah no finish spending strong raba on course only to have ChatGpt take it over before I even graduate.

Your observation is sound.

Recently I contacted someone who's into graphic design to produce a poster 6by3 in size. My guy said nah 40k last. I price 25k but he turned it down.

I just logged in on chatgpt 5.0 provided the information and viola it produce a bad ass design. I took the design to a painting firm and I was charged 7k. Just imagine how much I saved.

I am really sorry for all those 'I am a freelancer'
