AI冲击下,招聘市场软件相关岗位骤减?真相可能截然不同
随着AI应用日益拓展，当前网络上充斥着各种关于软件开发相关岗位被大幅削减的言论和报道，从传闻的大厂大幅裁员到被裁的软件从业者现身说法。As AI use grows rapidly, the internet is full of opinions and reports saying that many software development jobs will be cut. These include rumours of large tech companies making big job cuts, as well as real stories from software workers who have lost their jobs. 相关言论让软件从业者人心惶惶。但事实可能存在相悖的一面：英国国家统计局在9月公布的网上招聘毕业生职位统计显示，去年9月到今年8月，软件开发类岗位增加了23.3%，业务分析、架构和设计类职位则大幅增长53.7%。但单纯的数据分析岗位则只增加了6.4%。而统计的13种职位角色中唯一呈负增长的是会计相关职位，减少13.4%。 These stories make software workers feel worried. However, the reality may be different. According to online graduate job statistics published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in September, between September last year and August this year, software development roles rose by 23.3%. Positions in business analysis, architecture and design increased sharply by 53.7%. By comparison, basic data analysis jobs grew by only 6.4%. Among the 13 job roles in the study, accounting-related roles were the only ones to fall, dropping by 13.4%. 
报告解读中提到一个有趣的点：该统计是基于在线招聘广告的数量，而不是职位，即有可能同一个组织发布的同一职位有可能被重复统计。所以数字的增长不等于职位的绝对增长，但是同一职位在多个平台发布招聘广告，也可能意味着该职位的紧缺性。 One interesting point from the report’s explanation: the study counts online job advertisements, not unique job vacancies. This means the same role advertised by one organisation can be counted more than once. A rise in these numbers does not guarantee an absolute increase in real jobs. Still, if employers post the same job on many platforms, it may show that these workers are hard to find. 尽管相关数据不是直接反映特定岗位数量的绝对增长，但是从中我们还是能看到软件就业市场并非单纯的如大部分人所想的那样 -- 所有软件人将会丢掉饭碗。 Although the data does not directly show the real growth in the number of jobs, it shows the software job market is not what many people fear: it is not true that all software workers will lose their jobs. 综合所有软件相关岗位的招聘趋势看，行业开始把基础的软件任务，如编程等下放到AI编程助手，把高级别任务留给人，像系统设计、业务分析等等。由此我们可以展望软件业的短期前景：行业需要更多能懂业务、把控全局而又懂系统设计的人才。 If we look at hiring trends for all software-related roles, the industry is starting to use AI coding tools for basic programming work. Humans keep the higher-level tasks, such as system design and business analysis. From this, we can see the near future of the software industry: it needs more people who understand business, see the big picture and know system design. 虽然这份统计报告只是反应了行业现状的局部状况，但无疑给将要投身其中和浸淫多年的软件从业人一丝丝信心。 This statistical report only shows part of the industry situation, but it certainly gives some hope to people planning to enter the field and software professionals with many years of experience.
