And, yes: it's the economy.
The last time new grads has such a hard time getting hired was ~2001-2008. It wasn't because of AI back then... but also the economy (and interest rates!)
They are very connected. Also wrote about it here newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/zirp

Someone asked me about my advice to devs for "traditional software engineers" who resist change.
My advice:
Being a true tech professional means you keep your toolset sharp, and up-to-date. If you refuse to do so, you are probably not a true professional, but (cont'd)

Presentado el proyecto al director de iniciativas, he salido satisfecho, no me he dejado nada en el tintero, han propuesto 2 detalles y cerrar una versión 1.0.0 y un presupuesto mayor de cara al 2º semestre! 🥳

The upcoming death of software engineering has been greatly exaggerated by people who never built software themselves

Yep this. The bottleneck has never been typing speed; it's always been human understanding and intent. There's some benefit to making that intent translate faster in iteration loops, but software engineering as a discipline ain't going anywhere.
People outside tech starting to realize how quality software and typing/generating code fast are not correlated

LLMs *are* a major step-change for software engineering. Take it from people who have been in the field for decades, and have seen what it was like to go from Assembly to high-level languages.

How do you take a new product idea, and turn it into a successful product? Figma Slides started as a hackathon project a year and a half ago. Today it’s a full-on product with more than 4.5M slide decks created by users.
I talked with two founding engineers on this project, on how they built it:

Amusing that Apple Intelligence not launched in the EU could well be not about AI regulation, and more about how Apple couldn't even get it to work for one locale (English, in the US). Obviously it's not ready for other languages / locales until they manage this first step.

About to study quantum computing, found out the "tensor product" which multiplies the second matrix given by every element's first matrix. 🤯

Voy notando una nueva tendencia en cuanto al recruiting.
Este año veo que las supuestas("supuestísimas") ofertas no ofrecen absolutamente nada.
Lo típico de:
- Trabajar en proyectos punteros con equipos multidisciplinares
- "Sueldo competitivo"
Entre otros ejemplos, son BASURA.

As a software eng, it is inherently satisfying to see an open approach beat close approaches in an innovative field.
Linux is open: Windows is closed
Llama, Deepseek, Mistral are open: OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic& many others others closed
Closed approaches winning almost always lead to monopolies.

Elevators with buttons killed the “elevator operator” job completely
At the same time, spreadsheet apps like Excel did not kill accounting jobs - they helped create more
Understand why each happened and you understand how innovation can both reduce and increase employment/jobs
