I'm in high school and planning to major in computer science so I can become a software developer. It seemed like a secure career choice growing up, but with AI advancements, I'm starting to worry that the programming field could shrink significantly. Is it still a safe option to go into this industry considering the impact of AI?

You're probably going to see a lot of negativity here, especially on Reddit. I say do your own research rather than just relying on what people say in forums. It’s important to look at job trends yourself.

Nothing is 100% safe these days. As AI keeps advancing, it’s hard to predict how jobs will change in the next 5-10 years. Still, computer science tends to offer good pay and career growth. Just be prepared for more competition ahead!
