Which programmers are NOT needed in the future


According to a Gartner study, 80% of new technology products will be created without IT specialists. Advanced algorithms can lead to a decrease in demand for programmers. Should we be afraid that the profession will disappear?


Andrey Serbant, a service marketing specialist, believes that the programmer's profession is constantly being transformed. There is a fairly wide list of directions in the field, and if one of them loses relevance, specialists can switch to an alternative one – because the base remains the same.


However, new tools and languages may appear. Therefore, programmers are required to be flexible, which will provide them with the opportunity to work on various projects.


For example, the Honeycode service has already been created, which creates applications without the need to write program code. Customers of the service can be both companies and ordinary consumers.


The trend is moving away from monotony to creative thinking. Programmers who implement simple web templates or write programs with simple linear logic become less relevant.


Another fear is artificial intelligence. What if the machine learns how to create codes? In this case, you need to become the one who will teach her. There are already areas that will help develop in this area. In other words, programmers have to adapt to the high pace of technology development. It is important not to stay in one place and constantly follow the news in the IT sphere. 


A programmer does not sit in front of a black screen with green characters, typing a hundred lines per second, as in movies. Usually good concentration and attentiveness are required, because in order for the code to work, mistakes should not be made. That's what a sought-after programmer needs to know or be able to:


=    programming languages (C++, Java, Python, JavaScript) are the basis through which the work is carried out;


=    data structure and algorithms – this will help you understand how data works;


=    how to manage source code and work with other people's codes.
