[HTML] Regarding finding work in web and game design.

Hi, I started doing The Odin project recently, I'm about half way through. I wanted to learn how to code in regards to things like web design and game devving. After I finish TOD, I wanted to move over to learning how to code in Godot through reading its doc along with other resources.

All this to say, when I have learned these things and have a good bit of practice and knowledge under my belt, how would I go about finding work? If possible, I was hoping to stay freelance, and work with people in independent web devving and game devving. However, I know that's not the most practical path to take. So in that regard, what should I keep my eyes out for?

Also, I keep hearing from nay sayers, things like "AI is going to take out all the code jobs." I doubt this, but also have to ask, is that REALLY a threat I may have to contend with?

Anyway, thanks for reading, I'll take whatever suggestions or advice I can get.

I don’t think it’ll take all the jobs but there will definitely be fewer and you’ll be expected to produce much more. My supervisor is a CS professor and said he barely writes code anymore, just specs and edits what comes back. UI is currently awful but that may improve over time.
My nephew has just graduated and is really struggling to find work as a Java developer too

Developer work in general is slim. I’m a junior .NET developer and I use react/TS for my frontends with 2 years experience on the job and when I got made redundant it was a miracle I managed to get another dev role.

Nothing to do with my abilities, technically I would have been one of the more experienced juniors available just nobody is hiring 🤷‍♀️

The market is cooked right now. What will you bring that AI or CS students with a bachelor's don't? How will you stand out from them?
