Hi all, its 2023 and AI is going to take over a lot of jobs. So what advice would you give, to someone who is in their late 20s, for switching from a non-tech related career to tech?<p>Alternatively if you are a person in this field and would have to do things again from start then what/how would you do things differently given that its 2023?
If you're worried about AI, you could read up on AI and try to get involved in the field yourself. Or research big data in general -- that's the new tech field that seems to be taking over the world. (There's online resources where you can play around with big data, just to get a feel for it.)<p>I personally think there will be legacy code to maintain and smaller businesses that need good old-fashioned programming.<p>Don't take Hacker News comments as your sole window on the world -- this tends to be a subset of the tech sector with its own bias towards the more trendy new tech. Some more general advice: go to Meetups. You learn a lot about new tech, but it's also a good way to network. And don't be afraid to change jobs -- that's how you increase your salary. (Along the same lines, it's helpful to "always be looking.")
