ИИ заменяет программистов? Меня сократили с IT-проекта

Summary

Alexander says he was removed from a full-stack development project after the client cut costs. The client was unhappy with both the pace of development and the amount spent relative to the results. Most of the team was let go, while senior developers were retained. His employer reportedly has few new contracts expected in the near future.

He sees the layoffs as part of a wider downturn in custom software development. In his view, businesses are increasingly using AI coding tools to build features themselves. Clients who already understand their products may be able to work faster this way than an outside team, which needs time to learn the business requirements. He says AI adoption, a broader economic crisis, and increased competition from laid-off developers are making it especially difficult to find work.

The uncertainty has left him considering whether to keep looking for programming work or switch careers. A former front-end developer colleague who was also laid off has chosen to train as a CNC machine repair engineer, a job Alexander believes is less likely to be replaced by AI. He is unsure whether to follow that path; the training would take three months.

He ends on a more hopeful note, mentioning the first substantial snowfall of the season and his enjoyment of winter. He thanks viewers who watch his walks around Omsk and asks for their perspectives on the job market and career choices.
