Clients do expect some kind of digital intelligence and the ability to efficiently utilize the power of information technology from the organizations they hire. It is extremely critical for organizations and managers to thrive in the global marketplace. The technological revolution has been impacting almost every industry, functional area and business process. The development teams have to navigate through such transformations as their leaders invest in such digital transformations. Teams also need to hone their technical skills and knowledge more so as evolving technologies provide a way to leapfrog competitors and accelerate growth. In such an economy it becomes all-important to manage and nurture digital techniques/tools/technologies/programming methodologies to achieve sustainable development. We’re already somewhere in the middle of changing times, best termed as Fourth Industrial Revolution when organizations have started prepping for the future.
The Impact of Technologies
- It is important to mention here that technology has impacted communication, has increased the speed of business and has helped many others involved in being efficient than ever before. The applications that used to take hours to develop can be created in minutes now.
- These technologies also have the advantage of reducing the design/development/test/maintenance efforts and thereafter minimizing the need to perform repetitive tasks manually.
- This will eventually allow organizations to recruit fewer workers to accomplish their manual tasks and more number of workers for specific job functions that involve creative and strategic thinking. The nature and type of work will eventually shift its focus towards task completion.
According To Popular Research
Garner surveyed, studied and suggested in its 2017 hype cycle for emerging technologies that artificial intelligence and related technologies will empower and automate 1.8 million people out of work by 2020. This fact has been implemented to the best of its attempt, more so because of the current pandemic and the emergence of newer technologies.

So, Why Java, Python, Kotlin, Swift, JavaScript are Still Preferred?
All of these are popular high-level programming languages based on object-oriented programming principles. Most of the above are development environments and programming paradigms that have been widely used, loved, have evolved over some time, have simplified the programming approach, have introduced efficiency, are cost-effective and reduced time/efforts. These programming languages have implemented best practices in their code and have empowered database administrators, data engineers, data analysts, data scientists to plan and build optimized structures for everything from customer to internal data, but also analyze it for the crucial insights. All these technologies can help potential job seekers to amplify their chances of finding a suitable job. Specialization in any of these can be even more beneficial but an all-rounder can be hired as a full stack developer and be a cost-effective option to the organization.
