Will the development be relevant in many, many years?

Question

Career in IT

A couple of years ago I started to learn the web, everything seemed to go smoothly, I studied HTML, then CSS, and naturally it was the turn of JS. And here the difficulties began, since it was no longer a hypertext markup language, and not style sheets, but really a programming language that has its own logic, which, of course, needs to be understood. I eventually started to slowly stop learning it, because in my youthful head, after the onset of difficulty (yes, I know that JS is not the most difficult language), thoughts began to be laid that after my successful graduation, programmers like me, to put it mildly, a lot. That's the crux of the problem, I lost the desire to do this, because I had a certain feeling that interferes with the study, thoughts like: "When I graduate, programmers will be like cockroaches (even good ones, not counting shitcoders),
Therefore, I ask the one who read this to reasonably answer the question: "How long will programming be relevant?". I sincerely believe that having received the answer, I will take up myself and become what I always wanted to become. Or vice versa, I will look for another activity that will give me the same bright and wonderful feeling as code that works without errors, made by myself.
Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

A couple of years ago I started to learn the web, everything seemed to go smoothly, I studied HTML, then CSS, and naturally it was the turn of JS. And this is where the trouble started.

You have learned something simple.
You started having problems when you started learning something simple.
Where does the conclusion come from that there will suddenly be a lot of people who were able to study?
There will be many who have studied html / css a
little and scored on javascript, there will be a few who have studied html / css / javascript but have not mastered frameworks and OOP
There will be very few of those who have studied both html / css and languages ​​​​and frameworks and technologies
And in general units will be those who are full-stack-developer.
Therefore, yes, if it’s already difficult for you to learn something, then you need to understand that in the css / html niche the competition is already huge and most of the typical tasks are being replaced by constructors.
But good developers will always be in short supply for the foreseeable future.
The intellectual work that is required to be a programmer is extremely difficult to automate. If this is done, then AI will be made at a level that can replace almost any intellectual activity in any direction, and not in IT.

Answer 2

How long will programming be relevant?

Years 10-20. This bubble will burst with a truly crushing roar, when the market is completely oversaturated, everyone will be able to program (and do it well, because it will be a natural skill - like a competent speech), and salaries will creep down (already now programmers get no more than other professions). Already, most tasks are automated. You can make almost any site in the constructor, shops, landing pages, blogs, and this is just the beginning. Machine learning, quantum supremacy, strong AI and robotization are not empty words, but real threats to such form-slapping areas as, for example, web mocking.
Yes, computer science itself will be in demand, because there must be someone who deprives rowers of related fields of work. But even they will not resist quantum superiority and the technological singularity that follows it.
Perhaps in the future, society will be social, because the hosts of the unemployed with the general automation of any, even creative (neural networks already write tolerable music - the "composers" of star factories can already be automated) must somehow be supported. Or maybe they just die out - who knows? In any case, programmers will stay in their galleys a little longer than drivers or lawyers.

Answer 3

There are few intelligent programmers ...
This is how universities graduated economists in batches in the 90s (and they still produce them en masse), - but this did not improve the state of the economy in any way)))
Approaches, tools, maybe something else will change ... - but there will be a need for translators from human language to machine language for a long time to come.
Enough for your lifetime, at least...

Answer 4

Yes, and in 150 years it will be relevant.

1. Save this post.
   
2. In 2169, open the saved in paragraph 1
   
3. Compare the state in development with the open one in paragraph 2
   
4. Make sure there is a match.

Answer 5

in many, many years, humanity will die out, and there will be no one to write programs :(

Answer 6

of course not, like 99% of all professions, professions that will be relevant have not even appeared yet
