Wait a couple years before you start stating anything as a trend. There have been several downturns over my lifetime (I'm 50) where it was hard to find a tech job, and several periods of good times where tech people were in high demand. Until several years have past you cannot tell the difference between a temporary downturn and the end of an era.
Every time things turn bad a lot of people jump out and yell it is the end of the tech. They have so far been wrong. Only time will tell if they are right this time, though I personally doubt it.

I'm not saying it won't turn around, but its been about 2-3 years.

If it’s been 3 years, then I’m pretty sure it’s not AI-coding driven.

Copilot has been around that long.

It was also pretty dog-shit until sometime in the last 6-15 months (depending on your point of view).
