"Computer programming employment in the U.S. is at its lowest level since 1980 as companies increasingly automate tasks. Some firms like Anthropic are already using AI for 100% of coding. The speed of change has left even top tech leaders struggling to predict what comes next. Yamini Rangan, the CEO of a $15 billion software company, HubSpot, admits she doesn't know what jobs will look like in an AI-enabled future-even in as little as two years from now."
""What you can do is learn how to think, how to break down and solve problems, and how to ask good questions," the HubSpot CEO said. "If you can do those things, education is incredibly worthwhile." Instead of being a generalist, she advised budding workers to go deep into their work. If her son wants to pursue graduate school or further specialized training, she said she's "all for it." "Depth in an area, combined with learning how to learn, is what really matters," Rangan added."
AI company valuations are soaring even as programming employment in the U.S. falls to its lowest level since 1980 due to increasing automation. Some firms are already using AI to perform all coding work. Rapid technological change is creating uncertainty about the shape of future jobs, including near-term shifts over two years. Career preparation should emphasize problem-solving, critical thinking, and the ability to learn. Deep specialization combined with ongoing learning is recommended over generalist approaches to improve long-term career prospects in tech.
