- New evidence suggests AI is negatively impacting job opportunities for young programmers.
- Demand for entry-level programmers has significantly declined since late 2022, attributed to both macroeconomic factors and AI.
- Early-stage companies are hiring fewer programmers, expecting more productivity from each hire, partly due to AI.
- Initial lack of hard data made it difficult to conclusively link AI to job losses in programming.
- Recent studies show a resurgence in tech hiring, with no clear evidence of AI causing higher unemployment in vulnerable occupations.
- A new study presents data suggesting AI might indeed be reducing demand for early-career programmers, contradicting earlier findings.
