Transcripts
so in the previous year that is 2023
there was a lot of layoffs that were
happening as you know like the big tech
companies Google Spotify like they
laying off a lot of developers so uh
today I'm going to be telling you some
of the technologies that in this 2024
while you are going to learn like they
have they still have a high huge demand
like this technology still have huge
demand and um yeah as as a fellow
developer I know like are really
important so let's start so the first
one on the list you're going to be
talking about is blockchain as you all
know uh blockchain most people usually
like relate blockchain to
cryptocurrency and but they're different
you know like crypto is like money and
then blockchain just a technology that
is used in implementing it you know like
yeah so they are different um yeah and
even like the average according to Glo
the average salary for an experienced
blockchain developer in the US that is
$119,000 us in a year that is in24 like
the average salary for a blockchain
developer and blockchain is still a very
huge
demand a full stack programmer or a full
full stack developer so I know like what
maybe in your brains right now you may
be thinking like a full SE developer are
going to be replaced by
AI like no like AI is just a tool that
is using helping developers to be more
productive okay and this time like I
even might be thinking like maybe
developers need to specialize but full
developer remember like they are very
useful especially because most companies
are trying to reduce on the number of
people and trying to reduce on the
number of people that they are hiring so
for developer is going to be much needed
as compared to someone who are
specialized yeah but I'm not saying that
you're not supposed to specialize yeah
specialize if you want to but um the
next one is quantum Computing yeah so
Quantum Computing so what is quantum
Computing and why should you learn it as
a developer in 20124 so Quantum
Computing it just it just leverages the
principle of quantum mechanics to
perform computation that that's
classical computer struggle with and it
uses Quantum bits to Pro access
information in ways that classical bits
cannot and potentially revolutionizing
Fields like cryptography and
optimization problems so I still like
the average price for a Quantum engineer
in 2024 still very high that is an
average of
$100,000 per year to $140,000 per year
that is in 2024 the average price of
quantum engineer
that is VR and AR that is virtual
reality and augmented reality
now and I know like VR and AR are used
mostly in gaming but I remember like VR
Imes it users in simulated environment
while AR that is augmented reality it
overlays the digital content onto the
real world both technologies have
applications in gaming
Education Health Care and various
Industries for enhancing user
experiences and especially in gaming
like we are used know people know it
mostly because of gaming right yeah so
and according to a zip Rec recruiter
theual salary for a VR and an AR
engineer in the United States ranges
between that is
26,000
26,000 yeah 26,000 that is the lowest
salary to
191,000 per year and the medium usually
just that is
110,000 yeah yeah
$110,000 per year yeah so that's the we
have that the medium that is the low we
have the lowest the high and then medium
the medium medium one so but it's going
to be
increasing you're going to like to we
going to have lot of technologies that
are going to be using VR in 2024 so why
should you learn it you
know cyber security so remember cyber
security as long as most things right
now are moving to be digital all
businesses like most not all like most
businesses right now are moving into the
digital space and as long as businesses
are moving to the digital space then the
um the number of cyber security
experts it also increases because even
hackers or even cyber crime cyber
criminals are going to be increasing I'm
going they are going to be trying to
exploit these businesses so that's
increases the number of cyber security
that expert that are going to be needed
okay so uh cyber security has been in
high demand for some time not for some
like for a long time yeah has been in
high demand for a long time and it's
going to continue to be increasing
going to continue to be increasing and I
think it's a good it's a good um and
it's a pretty good skill to be to be
having even if you're just a
developer the next one is devops so now
devops is just a set of practices that
aim to improve collaboration between
software development and it
operations so it involves automation of
processes continuous integration and
continuous delivery of enhance the
efficiency and reliability of software
development and remember like here in
devops like it's really really quite
important for you to know even
especially if you're a junior
developer developer is really nice at
least to know especially that is the
part of the kubernets and the yeah those
part of the kubernets and and the doer
yeah the kubernets and the doer you need
to that skill it's pretty important to
be having it here it's going to like
it's going to like put you or
distinguish you from the other common
developers that are out there then the
next one is
devops now devop this just almost this
just the same as devops but puts FOC it
focuses also on security like devop it
integrates security practices into the
the devops pipe plan ensuring that
security measures are considered
throughout the software development life
cycle this approach helps to identify
and address security issues early in the
development process so that's why like I
was saying that if you're developer you
need at least know a little bit of cyber
security or even most of it but not that
much so that you may be having an easy
time and you may be at least at least so
that even you may be having more skills
as compared to the other developers who
don't want to up to increase their skill
or to upgrade that's why like you need
at least to to be knowing like cyber
security and even can know a little bit
of devops and maybe you can specialize
in Ops if you want okay yeah and I
believe if you have that skill it's
going to be really beneficial to you as
a developer or as a it IT guy and even
to the boss yeah even to your your boss
or the company that youing for okay so
you need to at least have that the cops
and then the the next one that you're
going to be looking at that is AI
engineer or let's say AI eth ethicist
sorry ethicist yeah so an AI ethicist
focuses on the ethical implications of
artificial intelligence they address the
concerns are related to bias
transparency
accountability and the so soate and the
social impact of AI
Technologies ensuring responsible and
ethical AI development and
deployment because remember like no
company wants to build an AI technology
and then like the AI to be to start
misbehave okay like or to to go uh is it
Trant yeah or just go out of control
because remember like if this AI goes
out of control then there's a High
chance like the company is going to be
losing money going to lose money so
that's why like this role of a this is
eist sorry
eist yeah like yeah just focusing on the
ethic side of an AI it focuses on the
ethic side of an AI showing that AI
behaves as intended like it does not
have racism like doesn't have like it
has need to be transparent as possible
yeah yeah shortterm like need to be
transparent and in the next coming years
like in the in the coming years we're
going to be having an increase in roles
of in AI especially this AI aist because
remember like a right now is almost
incorporated into everything yeah it's
incorporated into everything and it's
going like it's like it's part of us
right now that is
iot uh so R just refers to the network
of interconnected devices that can
communicate and
share and share data with each other
these devices range from everyday
objects to Industrial machines are
equipped with sensors and connectivity
enabling them to collect and exchange
data for various
applications right now there is a lot of
technologies that have come up that are
incorporating a artificial intelligence
with iot let's say like you need to
learn iot yeah you also need to learn
iot yeah and I believe like if you
incorporate these Technologies into your
belt as an IT guy or as an IT Guru or as
an IT developer I believe if you
incorporate these Technologies like
you're going to be on the safer side
given that right now uh being hired as a
junior as a junior developer is pretty
pretty a little bit hard but I believe
if you have this one then you're going
to be you're going to like to be on the
safer side as compared to people who
don't want to upscale okay is machine
learning engineer like that was just a
default okay like right now machine
learning and AI they are the one that
are running the industry so and it's
really quite important that you need to
know them so what does what does a
machine learning
comprise of so machine learning engineer
designs and implements the algorithms
that enable machines to learn from
data and make intelligence
decisions they work at the intersection
of computer science and
statistics applying machine learning
techniques to solve complex
problems yeah so those are the
technologies that you need to learn or
at least need you
you must learn in 2024 or not must but
you you at least need to learn okay and
also before you go remember like yeah so
