I have been reading a lot that 90% of their code is AI generated, companies are pushing developers to use AI as it makes them fast. But I am a little cautious of believing them. Is it true? Also sorry I didn't find a css career subreddit so I am asking here.

A lot of the major companies are trying to “embrace” AI. Anyone saying percentages is full of shit. And anyone claiming they got fired for refusing to use AI is also full of shit, they got fired for other reasons, which much have been screaming “I’ll never use AI you fucks!” Haha

Regarding the industry as a whole, AI is a big thing. You need to know how to use it correctly to (hopefully) produce quality code. This is a really rough time in the industry, for many reasons not at all related to AI. The economy is shit, globally. There is a lot of uncertainty, globally. Jobs are absolutely not secure. I’ve been laid off 3 times since 2020. And no, I wasn’t the only layoff. One company got rid of all their IT staff save for the IT director and one (overworked) support technician.

If you’re asking because you want to go into software as a career…………… don’t. Go into healthcare.

Healthcare IT is still ok, but seriously DON'T be an actual healthcare worker. Your basically a slave with 5-6 figure college debt

Strong disagree. Getting your BSN is not 6 figures. It also far more stable than tech. There will always be sick people, the world is not getting healthier on average.

Going into software development in 2026 is a gamble. Being a nurse is not.
