Any new grad going into IT now must be really stupid. 20 years all coding will be done offshore.

There'll always be work for the best.

And those of us onshore who can code, will be on a gazillion spondoolicks a minute.

That's what they were saying 20 years ago, along with programmes that would write themselves from a specification, and how the tools would be so simple to use, the business people could do the work without the need for experts or even code monkeys.

What they forgot was IT is so dull, those with money will gladly keep paying us to do it for them.

Will be one use for those redundant oil platforms and rigs.

Doesn't matter, we'll all be "Change Managers", "Strategy Consultants" and "Thought Leaders" anyway. Boomed!

exactly! but the new grads don't know this - so we make shedloads!

though personally I don't find development boring - it is just all the red tape and idiots that get me down.
