depends on the industry .. for 80% of jobs 0 coding knowledge will be needed in 10 years.

for ai research, safety, aerospace, military, trading, gamedev .. those will probably still need coding for a bit longer.

I suppose work organisation, leadership, soft skills, working in areas with inherent uncertainty will be key for defending employment in near future

They can be easily replaced. I suspect we are just engaging in a form of self deception by thinking these choices we make are more than arbitrary decisions driven by nothing but our taste...

Often times I find agreeing to the stack the model suggests is the right option. It’s probably most trained on that.

I suppose one would have to work in a very specific novel and niche area to go against the grain and chose stacks that are not chosen by majority.

> There is a clear multi-step skills roadmap everyone is following with expectations per role/department

interesting... I suppose this requires someone at the company actually knowing what the roadmap and desired end goal should be, I feel like exactly this is lacking in a lot of places right now

interesting insights, thanks

hustle never ends...

I’m retired and still working on a new business

Morrowind is something really special and unlike oblivion It. Just. Works.

In my humble human opinion everything digital has been or shortly will be conquered by AI.

You can either embrace it, learn to how to use and deploy AI or try to find a way out into the real world, until robotics will inevitably catch you in several years, for some professions with manual aspect you could have maybe decades of time.

did you consider tier 2, semiconductor suppliers qualcomm, nxp or go tier 3 - arm? I would say these will allow more technical depth than tier 1s, but will remove you from the end customer product, and some people find that unsatisfying.

customer facing companies with engineering culture also come to mind, apple, google etc. I assume you are in Europe? you have Bosch Research, Fraunhofer or Dolby in US, this might overlap with your stated experience.

I dont have experience in quants or trading but I heard they can go pretty deep and hard.

Thank you for sharing your response. Yes, I have considered and very much want to work with processors(any kind) making companies. However, I am not getting any interviews. It might be the case CV is not strong enough when there is large pool of experts are available in the market.

market is genuinely tough right now, dont beat yourself over it. persistence is key right now.

Thank you for your encouragement :)

I focus more on specs, product and outside behavior these days. Colleague showed me a fancy plugin he made for emacs today at work. I congratulated his efforts and mentioned I dont open text editors anymore :shrug: ...
