The UK tech sector is cutting graduate jobs dramatically – down 46 percent in the past year, with another 53 percent drop projected, according to figures from the Institute of Student Employers (ISE).

The culprit? AI is already doing the entry-level work graduates used to perform like routine coding, data analysis, and basic digital tasks. Companies still need tech talent, but they’re hiring experienced workers instead of training newcomers.

    Same shit when we shipped the jobs in 2013 to code farms that had no fucking clue how to actually do dev work. It’ll come back in a few years. Give it no more than another 5 years of this shit and code will be so fucked production will grind to a halt requiring these idiots to rehire competent devs again, then the jr positions will follow.
