Hear it at 0:00 →people are more distracted than ever. They are afraid, they are watching videos on YouTube instead of actually learning. Everybody choose to this instant gratification which coding doesn't offer. Because software engineering coding, it's a complex skill, it takes time to learn, and not many people want to do that anymore. And this is bad news for them, but it's great news for you, the talented software engineers out there, who are getting better, putting the work and staying in this industry and betting on it.
Remember, like the great Iryton Sena said, you cannot overtake 15 cars in sunny weather, but you can when it's raining. Right now, it's raining in software dev. Fear is high, uncertainty is high, and this is where developers who have clarity, developers who stick to it, are the ones that are going to make amazing progress, and others will just get left behind.
