If you ignore any company related to “cloud” or “AI”, especially if you focus on tech jobs at companies outside the software industry, there’s still plenty of hiring fresh coders going on.
Everybody overhired coders in 2020-2021, and everybody has been shedding them since… along with tons of other roles.
Sure, they are always hiring and there’s always exceptions. If the job is 60k and you have 3000 applicants and 300 of them have over 3 years of experience… how can a 0 YOE possibly compete?
counterpoint: I work in tech for a Fortune 500 and we still have interns and still hire intern classes and kids right out of college.
We just had an intern project showcase, some neat stuff.
We are working with AI but we aren’t stupid, we still need people.
Not in Silicon Valley.
Exact same thing here.

lol… I don’t think you’re right at all.

We have a pretty forward thinking AI offering of our own, but … it’s not being vibe coded, we have very educated AI engineers
I feel like honestly it’s outside of tech where they believe they can replace with AI
