I'm seeing a rising number of unemployed new computer science graduates, at least in Canada. This might be a temporary result of our economic situation. Beyond this, anecdotally I'm seeing non-developers (such as marketing professionals) building low-code solutions for their work use, using tools like Zapier and Make.com to easily integrate a variety of useful services. Same with OpenAI, Claude, etc. We've had several of our PMs and Product Owners build simple apps using Cursor AI. This should increase as non-tech folks can rapidly prototype ideas side-by-side with executives.

I would like to know more about how that people are using the AI
AI is widening and diversifying the entry-level talent pool, inspiring more people to try software careers. Hiring processes now need to assess comprehension, design thinking, and problem-solving, not just AI-assisted code output.
