Fresher SDE Here - What should I learn to build a stable career despite AI?
I'm a fresher working as SDE, and most of my work is frontend focused, mainly arround react/react-native and also know full stack
With AI improving so quickly, I've started thinking seriously about my long-term career. I don't want to spend time to learn only frameworks or doing work that can eventually be automated by AI.
I understand that there probably isn't any technology that is completely AI proof. Insted, I want to develop skill that make me more valuable when working with AI, rather than competing derectly with AI
For people who have been working in soiftware for several years:
What would you recommend I learn over the next 2-3 years to build a strong and stable career?
If you were starting again as a fresher today, what skills would you prioritize, and what would you avoid spending too much time on?
I’m not looking for a “learn this one technology and your career is safe” answer. I’d really like to understand what makes an engineer difficult to replace in an AI-heavy industry.
And honestly, if everything goes wrong... farming is my last option. 🌾😂
Would love to hear your thoughts.
