How AI Is Impacting Entry-Level Programming Jobs

 The Times of India reports that US computer science graduates are finding their entry-level job prospects hindered by AI. Hiring processes increasingly favor AI tools over human candidates, drastically shrinking the availability of junior roles in tech.


Meanwhile, Reuters highlights that entry-level coding positions have dropped by 50% since 2019, with experts predicting AI could eliminate half of all white-collar entry-level jobs within the next 1–5 years.

Cursor: A New AI-Powered Coding Tool

In a recent The Verge "Decoder" podcast episode, Anysphere’s Cursor—an AI-enhanced coding assistant—was showcased. The tool integrates with models from OpenAI and Anthropic, offering intelligent autocompletion and task delegation within development environments. Its CEO predicts that in the next 6–12 months, as much as 20–25% of a professional engineer’s work may be fully delegated to AI.


Computer Science Degrees Still Matter, Says OpenAI’s Chairman

Despite the surge in AI coding tools, Bret Taylor, chairman of OpenAI, reassures that computer science degrees remain valuable. According to him, the future will emphasize systems thinking and conceptual understanding—such as algorithmic complexity and cache optimization—over simply writing code. He envisions engineers as operators of AI coding systems rather than manual coders.

AI + coding in industry adoption

Image
 “Vibe Coding” / AI-driven natural-language coding The concept of vibe coding (i.e. writing software via natural language prompts rather than detailed manual coding) is gaining traction.It’s being viewed as an extension of “software + AI agents” — letting people express intent, and letting AI fill in boilerplate, structure, and details.But there are warnings: automatically generated code can carry security risks (e.g. reintroducing known vulnerabilities) if not carefully reviewed. Agentic / AI coding tool advances  At DevDay 2025 , OpenAI introduced an Agent Kit and updates to its Codex model, to better support building AI agents.GitHub (via Copilot) is embedding agents that can autonomously fix bugs, add features, and improve documentation — operating within your repo, analyzing code context, and proposing changes.Microsoft is planning to evolve GitHub further to be more AI-native, so that coding, security, analytics, etc., are more tightly integrated.

Computer Science Among Majors With Highest Unemployment In US

Image
Computer science has been one of the most popular college majors in recent years. Many students choose it believing it offers strong job prospects and high salaries. However, recent data reveals a different story in the United States: many graduates are struggling to find jobs in the field. According to a report by Newsweek, based on data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, computer science ranks seventh among undergraduate majors with the highest unemployment rate-currently at 6.1 percent. This places it just behind other majors like physics (7.8 percent). HR consultant Bryan Driscoll told Newsweek that many students are given unrealistic expectations about what a computer science degree guarantees. He pointed out that despite working hard and choosing a "top" major, many graduates face tough competition, limited opportunities, and growing student debt. He added that in the current market, a candidate's background or university name often outweighs their actual sk...
