And yet, CS was the fastest growing employment category with some of the highest and among the fastest growing salaries in the nation for the past 2 decades despite the fact that outsourcing has been around since the 90s.

The fact that this changed in the last 2 years right when AI became feasible is just a coincidence. It’s actually finally outsourcing destroying the grad job market nearly 3 decades later.

Nothing changed in the past 2 years except we had another recession. Just like very other recession, people are looking for something to blame. Out sourcing has long been a popular thing to blame. This time blaming AI is the fad. There will be more recessions in the future and people will blame some other fad next time (or perhaps the same). In the end though it is the economy.
