TLDR: Despite concerns about AI replacing developers, skilled humans are still essential in software development. AI tools like LLMs have become popular but often require human guidance, and current job market challenges stem from economic factors and layoffs, not automation. Opportunities remain for aspiring developers, as companies still need human expertise, and trends suggest growth in tech jobs. Use AI as an enhancement tool, not a replacement, and build connections to improve job prospects.
