When will IT layoffs slow down? Could the next 2 years remain difficult for software developers—and could job security improve around 2028? one to one connect with me https://topmate.io/anil_sidhu In this Hindi video, I share my perspective on AI-assisted development, post-pandemic overhiring, company restructuring, and uncertainty around new projects. We discuss: • Why generating code and delivering reliable software are different • The importance of requirements, code reviews, testing, security, and deployment • Why fewer layoffs may not mean a hiring boom • How AI adoption could change developer roles and client investment decisions • What to consider before resigning or switching jobs • How to keep your skills current during a career gap • Why coding fundamentals still matter when using AI tools The 2028 timeline is my personal prediction, not a guaranteed recovery date. Conditions will vary by company, role, and business demand. What are you seeing in your company—layoffs, hiring, or changing expectations around AI? Share your experience in the comments.

The hard reality is software engineer jobs no longer exists in future or upcoming few years.
Agar company ma 10 employees ki jarurat thi to ab latest ai models ka saat same kaam 4 log milkar bhi korlange. Why you are saying that sab stable ho jayega and hiring ar badhega...don't give senseless hope.
*Finally found someone spreading some positivity. Thanks!*
More or less the IT job market has become very selective. It's not like before. The most important thing is that only top employees can survive in the market. Midium employees get layoffs.
100% agreed as a Senior Full Stack Developer.
From a philosophical point of view, it’s a normal part of the evolution process. You look at any old monuments and wonder how people did it with limited technology back then. Similarly this coding task will evolve and people in the future will wonder how people used to write and maintain complex code bases like Kernel etc. It’s inevitable that this field loses its scope after the big boom that made many middle-class Indians millionaires - arguably the only profession that didn’t require you to scam others to gain such wealth. What new jobs are going to be created is something we should wait and see since this is also part of evolution. Until then there is going to be lot of friction.

If developer can do the manual code faster,then company may force developer to test the code.
I'm waiting for your video on this topic 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sir, if we start relying on AI to generate code for us, then where will we apply our own logic and problem-solving skills? If AI starts handling the logic as well, I’m concerned that our ability to think and solve problems independently may gradually become weaker. Also, I have another question: are most students now using AI to build their projects? For example, after learning a particular technology, do they directly use AI to generate projects, or do they usually try to build projects themselves .
Jo tum bol rahe ho, ye sab karne ke liye AI hai, or pahele jitane employees ki requirement rahe ti thi, ab utane employee ki koi jarurat nahi hai
thanks for motivation
Models capabilities are growing exponentially every year so it's stupid to say that 2 saal baad stagnant hoga layoff. It's going to increase even more.
Sir can you tell me as currently I'm learning vector embeddings database and making ai agents and i already have been working as a MERN stack developer from 3 years so learning these agentic ai will be worth for me in future or am I just wasting time?
It may bring the entire Indian economy down. IT has been a path for a better lifestyle for the majority of the middle class.
Bhai Project Delivery me jitna pahle employees chahiye the utane abhi nahi chahiye ye, or ek project me ab ek ya do employees enough hai
But gemini is already behaving like a human. Why is the human touch necessary now?? 😭
Sir i m thinking of doing a course in Docker and kubernets. What do u suggest?
Chomu 😂 kitni din aur Covid over hiring ka Gaana gayega. Kuchh bhi 😅
According to me it reduces work force, 10 persons work can be done by 1 person, salary reduces and more unemployment. There’s no option. In 2028 nothing will change and more unemployment
