Are these actually developers getting laid off? I recall seeing similar posts like this last year and it turns out they just laid off middle management and sales positions, and kept the actual devs
I agree, but when most of my “elders” growing up believed computers to be this magical voodoo money printer box that just happens to go on facebook, It’s not suprising they believed any job relating to a computer was safe and stable.
That may be true with IT departments but maybe not as necessarily for developers

Do not question the elders of the internet.
IT support by staff like sysadmins can hardly be replaced in the near future.
I don’t see AI being able to setup a whole environment itself.
Creative jobs on the other hand…
That’s what cloud services are for.
And who sets up those? If sysadmin jobs are killed for on premise at companies at the very least they will be needed for datacenter work.
Developers are often the ones setting up the environments now via things like Terraform. IT is still needed for on-prem work though.
