    Law Moore's law
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the potential impact of technological advancements, particularly in relation to Moore's Law, on the job market for software and hardware engineers. There is speculation about whether software engineers might face job losses as technology evolves, but the consensus suggests that both software and hardware engineering roles will remain relevant for the foreseeable future. Concerns are also raised about ongoing challenges, such as reducing power consumption in technology, indicating that even as advancements occur, new problems will emerge that require skilled professionals to address. The conversation highlights the resilience of engineering professions in the face of technological change.

And when it does, will software engineers slowly begin to lose their line of work? Would computer (hardware) engineers lose most of their jobs?

You might have got better responses if you had said what "Moore's law" was rather than requiring people to look it up. Apparently "Moore's law" is the observation that the number of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit approximately doubles every two years.

While I can't say when, or if, that will cease to be true, I can't see why that would have any effect on the jobs of software or hardware people!
 

Thread 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
