Hi everyone,

I’m currently considering a career in web development, but I’ve been hearing a lot about the rapid advancements in AI and its potential impact on the industry. Some people even suggest that there might be no need for programmers in the next five years due to AI’s capabilities.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this! Is it still a good idea to study web development in 2024? How do you see the future of web development evolving with AI? If traditional programming roles are at risk, what skills should aspiring web developers focus on to stay relevant?

Thank you for your insights!

No.

I’ve been a SSE for a long time now and been on many sides of development from apps, to games, to websites etc.

In my opinion it would be a complete waste of time getting a 4 year degree in front end web development because AI will have that mastered in a year at most.
