Software developer jobs, once ranked as the best job in the U.S., are now facing a significant decline due to the rapid advancement of AI. Since 2025, over 110,000 software developers have been laid off globally as companies like Meta, Google, and Amazon increasingly adopt AI tools to automate programming tasks. While this doesn't mark the complete end of software developers, they must now adapt to work alongside AI, focusing more on strategic roles as repetitive tasks become automated.
