Will Software engineer salary hit $1 million by year 2030

Are today’s Developers over loaded with too many tasks?!

In 90s and till late 2000s there were many different job positions in an IT team that only do certain task. There was no Frontend engineers and backend engineers as most of the applications were thin clients in the browser side as the internet band width was very slow. There were jobs like Database Admins, Server Admins, Site Admins and so on to deal with one specific task.

 

Ever since the Startup culture took off again after the dotcom boom in the mid 2000s , in many cases the founder(s) had to do all tasks. Every single thing involved in the complete SDLC are done by one or two founders and hence there is more in their plate to get funding , business development etc.

 

And as the World internet infrastructure moved from dialup to DSL to Broadband, the browser apps became THICK CLIENTS. The corporate companies now started adopting Startup cultures into their companies IT strategy and thus Agile SDLC became the norm of the IT industry. This change also made big impact in the Developers’ scope of work. Here is an example of the evolution of what a developer was doing in 90s, 2000s, and what he must have to work on today.

Today, these tasks apply for the most average software engineer, working in at least 70% of small businesses and in 100% of the startups.

Front end + Database Code + Build + Deploy

Front end + Back end + Database Code + Build + Deploy

Front end + Back end + Database Code + Version Control + Build + Deploy

Front end + Back end + Database Code + Version Control + Unit Test + Build + Deploy

Front end + Back end + Database Code + Version Control + Build + Test Automation + Deploy

Front end + Back end + Database Code + Version Control + Build + Test Automation + Deploy

Front end + Back end + Database Code + Version Control + Build + Security Tests + Test Automation + Deployment

Front end + Back end + Database Code + Version Control + Build + Security Tests + Test Automation + IaC + Deployment

Front end + Back end + Database Code + Version Control + Build + Security Tests + Test Automation + IaC + Deployment + Observability

Front end + Back end + Database + Integration Code + Version Control + Build + Security Tests + Test Automation + IaC + Deployment + Observability + Site Reliability

Generalist + Front end + Back end + Database + Integration Code + Version Control + Build + Security Tests + Test Automation + IaC + Deployment + Observability + Site Reliability

 

Apart from multi tasking , because of the rapid evolution of software and hardware tools, a software engineer has to be a generalist who can work with a software that was released yesterday.

 

the cost of human resource will be sky high and thus it will demand multiple skills and multitasking with all the below reasons.

  • As the World will be filled with ROBOTS for most repeated works in couple of decades
  • Increasing adoption  of technology in every industry
  • Increasing competition and demand for tech workers


 

May be the average salary of an average software engineer will easily hit $1 million by year 2030.

LLM on Mobile Phone : Mini Universal data and assistant running on an android smart phone Galaxy S23

  Imagine a world where everyone has access to a mini #OpenAI's #ChatGPT on their mobile phone, answering any question on any topic, right from their local phone memory. No need for internet. This is the future of #LLMs on mobile devices, and it's happening now. #MLC-AI has created a way to install a 3 billion parameter #RedPajam #LLMModel on a #Galaxy #S23 smartphone. This is a powerful #LLM that can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. And it's all available on your phone, without the need for an internet connection. This could have a profound impact on people all over the world. Millions of suburban students who don't have access to the internet could now have access to a universal data source that can answer most of their questions. Refugee camps around the world could also benefit from this technology, giving refugees access to information and resources that they might not ot...

Agentic AI growth could make GenAI providers to charge $1000-$2000 per month - #Cathywood , here is how.

      #Cathywood predicts that as the #agenticgenai grows the #GenAI service providers like openai, gemini, Copilot, etc will be able to charge $1000 - $2000 per month to their business customers. And she adds, "this is going to happen". Why this is important: Remember #Cathywood made a monster call in 2018, predicting that Tesla would hit $4,000 in five years. And eventually Tesla hit Wood's price target, with shares closing at $816, or $4,080 on a split adjusted basis (Jan. 2021). How this could happen: #AgenticGenAi means , 1. Integrating a business service with GenAI providers like Gemini/ChatGPT as an agent and make available in the chat interface. 2. Less human interaction and more calls to the GENAI Models. Nothing totally new, its similar to 'Ok google play a song from spotify' 'Alexa, order 8 pack dove on amazon' For example, when booking a flight, instead of navigating a complex travel website, users can simply provide a text prompt...
