Advice, take it or leave it:
Drop any negative news about the impact of ai on your career as a software developer or engineer.
Yes, ai tools are powerful. Yes, they are pushing the boundaries of the internet and how we work. But:
- Should we stop learning/continue learning computer science?
- Should we stop studying/continue learning software engineering?
- Should we stop learning/continue learning programming?
- Should we stop solving problems for ourselves and others using technology?
- Will the world no longer need developers or engineers,, now or in the future?
The answer to all of these is a big “NO”.
Instead, acknowledge that ai is here.. and it’s incredibly useful
Use it to your advantage; improve your skills, accelerate your learning, boost your productivity, and become better at your craft.
If you keep following negative news about ai and its effects on developers, you’ll only burn out and feel drained.
Choose to use it for growth, to learn. Use ai as a tool not as a threat.
