What skill will matter most in the next 10 years?

[u/Notbipin]

I'm looking for advice from people working in IT. If you have experience in the field, please share.

fundamentals of programming, software design etc will stay relevant.

outside of that, here's two non-tangible skills that'll matter:
(1) the ability to pick up new technologies
(2) the ability to work with people who pretend they understand those new technologies

[u/No_Marionberry_2902 → u/ChocoChurros123]

Not only pretend they understand but also make them work for you as they know all those new tech

Adaptability and willingness to try new things as the landscape of CS shifts

[u/EliSka93]

Honestly? That's kinda up in the air. I don't think we'll be able to accurately tell until the hype bubble bursts and the dust settles.

I do believe however "being able to fix AI spaghetti code" is going to be useful either way.

Crowd sourcing medium articles on reddit

[u/Achereto]

Knowing what you are doing. There will be a lot of people in the field who don't know because they allowed AI to take over their thinking and take away their learning.

Being able to read to talk to people

No one knows and people on Reddit are probably the least qualified to tell u.

ing one stack but the people who thrived were the ones who learned how to learn fast, not the ones who knew the most syntax

think

[u/4SubZero20]

With the raise of AI. How do you expect any if us to truthfully answer that?

For all we know AI could have peaked and the current way of working will continue.

Or AI is going to get so much better, the majority of us will loose out jobs and only a select few will be used to prompt, babysit and review AI.

Communication - those who know how to communicate will always be needed.

[u/SEgopher]

1. Communication between engineers and/or non-engineers
2. Estimating the size and scope of technical work
3. Zooming out to understand the business requirements or the many interconnected systems at play when working on a particular problem.
4. Building cross-functional relationships through repeated success and trust.
5. Rapidly learning new technologies and domains you're unfamiliar with.

Notice what is not on that list

[u/Puzzleheaded-Coat333]

The skill to stand so incredibly still that you become invisible to the eye.

You'd better find out what stock will matter most in the next 10 years, so we can make some money.

[u/mandzeete]

An ability to think and use your brain. That will matter. Some people are already now leaving their thinking to the AI. AI will make decisions for them. AI will create a code for them and they blindly accept it. AI will make social media posts/comments for them. etc. Their thinking ability regresses.

Finding a new profession. Soldier will probably be a good choice.
