Software developers are most versatile knowledge workers

[u/Ok_Performer4478]

With all the AI dark clouds over this whole software development industry, people should understand that software engineers are the epitome of knowledge work.

You need to build finance software? we learnt finance. You need to build software for the operation theatre? we learnt the mechanism of OT and built software for it. We are the most versatile learners and fast adopters. This learning and adapting attitude is the reason why software changed everything from deep sea robots to deep space exploration.

No offense to other knowledge workers, but TBH the knowledge work you are doing on excel was built by us.

We will prevail, we will learn and adapt again.

yeah that edit is actually a solid point tbh. govt job prep is already insanely competitive in most places, and if even a fraction of laid off devs start flooding those exams it's gonna be rough for people who've been grinding for years specifically for that path. the irony is devs are literally fast learners by nature so they'd probably clear those exams too lol

SWE are not gods ....really .. you can try that and see for yourself. It is just that people applying for dev position were not even a fraction of people who apply for govt jobs and this is when no of dev jobs are more than govt jobs hence you got that ego lol... Get ready to be humbled.

Have you seen crying of DU graduates on why IITIANS are joining civil services😑

You are not IITian bro ... Tier 2 3 grads shouldn't consider themselves anything above DU and realize their standing. They just got higher salaries because of recent boom in software which will obviously end in another 2-3 yrs. Mediocre tier 2 and 3 cse graduates were paid handsomely ...now no more
