Been doing this stuff for a long time. Some of it runs in batch mode with no user interaction other stuff has a UI that you can build using a designer in the CAD/CAM system.

Sure you can you the web site on a "mobile" device, as long as that mobile device has a minimum 720p virtual and 1300p wide resolution in a 10 inch diagnose display.

Just from looking around at what is going on, reading job listings, etc... you'd think that desktop development barely exists anymore.

Maybe its just that the amount of (public) web pages that exist outnumbers the amount of desktop applications by far. So you see 15 web job offerings for one desktop offering.
But it is still a very valid and vital scene. Many people have some dinosaurs like microsoft office in mind when they hear "desktop application", but thats not true. Don't think about that handful AAA titles like office, photoshop... like autodesk products.
Still more than 50% of all companies run internal desktop apps, purely written for internal use in their departments, be it internal customer info systems, datawarehouse query frontends, and so on.
Of course today they have a mixture of web frontends and desktop frontends, but still, there are things that are done locally on the machine WAY more easily than running them through a website on a server.
Be it domain access, file shares, whatever.

Diagnosing hardware, programming microcontrollers, rendering scenes, simulators, writing software, any kind of offline work (for **** sake why does everyone suppose we all have Internedt everywhere anytime)...
Desktop is definitely going strong, the pay is better than the average web copypaster and the jobs have longer time between employer bankruptcy.

Oh, I'd agree. I'd be happy if web development and phones and the cloud all fell into a black hole. I prefer desktop development.

Desktop development, especially C#/Winforms, is tremendously faster than web development. If the application is internal, ClickOnce applications are quite simple to deploy.
For external deployment, I've found that a number of utility applications I use are either ClickOnce or a similar deployment technology.

I hear that so many times and I think "Nothing could be further from the truth". Desktop is alive & well, and will be for many years to come. Why? because not every app needs to be a web or mobile app. There are soooo many different types of LOB apps that are and alwats will be WinForms and WPF.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

There might be quite a few folks working on general purpose code, so that should probably be added as an option.
In my case, I have a large code base (1.1M lines) of which slightly less than half is a general purpose, open source development system called CIDLib, and the other half is a proprietary and very powerful automation system called CQC built on top of CIDLib.

Basically a project I am working on that is a component library that I hope to bring to market soon.

Nice! Desktop, web or mobile?

It has a smattering of components. Server engine with DB backend, an Editor component and a Viewer component. The latter can be integrated into any app.

While it's true that cars are becoming connected, not all of their components are - in fact only the infotainment part, in its functional components.
HMI, clusters and drivers are not IoT.

Coutryside? I live in a rural area and surviving on the streets is more an art rather than a skill.
Nice quiet low traffic roads are the most dangerous because all the wannabe Proust run like crazy in the middle of a lane-and-a-half streets choke full of blind turns. "I can run here, there is nobody ever!". Except when there is, you *******.

Or ... a tractor.
Or ... a flock of sheep.
We have those idiots too.

Tractors and flocks of sheep are ok in those back roads, I expect them, it's worse when they travel on the main streets - kilometers of queue for a single idjit.

Ah, the drunk drivers. I live in a region widely known for its production of wine... and its consumption. I reflexively get more alert from 1 to 3 pm and from 11 pm to 2 am because I expect at least a couple of drivers to be completely drunk.
The sober ones aren't better, where I live it's common to have:
* People with high beams perpetually on, those blinding mofos... They don't even turn them off when I blind them with mine. "But it's dark and I can't see" "Well, idjit, now I can't either!"
* Roundabout duels. People accelerate when approaching a roundabout so they can enter a microsecond before the other people and claim rights if they get hit. I have a dashcam, for these special cases.
* Roundabout crawlers. They see you enterning the roundabout, slow to a crawl but keep going straight, entering the roundabout nonetheless. You will never know if they will stop or T-bone you.
* Semaphore-selective daltonics. 40 km/h over the speed limit and with no red semaphore respected.
* Corner/roundabout parkers. They park exactly where they shouldn't, plan their ambush and start moving precisely when a victim is in interception course. Damn Romulan pirates.

In the UK, learner drivers have to show a Red "L" for "Learner" front and back on the car - once they pass the test, they can display a Green "L" for a while.
In Wales, we have our own language, so you often see cars with Red or Green "D" plates ("Dysgwr" being Welsh for "Learner").
When visitors ask, we tell 'em it's Red "D" for "Drunk" and Green "D" for "Disqualified" ...
