Is tech dead in 2026?

Layoffs, hiring freezes, and entry-level roles disappearing have convinced a lot of people that tech is over. That there’s no point even trying anymore.

That conclusion is wrong.

The tech job market isn’t dead, it’s split.
And the skills that got people hired in the early 2020s are not the skills getting people hired today.

In this video, I break down the tech skills that actually matter in 2026, backed by hiring data from Indeed, LinkedIn, and the World Economic Forum

You’ll learn:
✅Why “just knowing how to code” isn’t enough anymore
✅How AI has reshaped what companies expect from engineers
✅The 6 skills hiring managers are actively looking for in 2026
✅Why AI literacy ≠ being an AI researcher
✅How data engineering quietly powers every serious AI product
✅Why automation, Python, cloud, and DevOps are becoming baseline skills
✅The most underrated skill that separates senior engineers from everyone else
