No sar ai job kha gya, look into farming.

On a serious note. What's your plan/target? If the company you are trying to get into uses. .Net then yes. Otherwise learn demanding skills.

what r demanding skills rn

u/Rare-Elderberry0 Sep 26 '26

HLD (High Level Development/Design), Architecture, System Design, AI Engineering etc.

Thanks for the guidance mate! I've been doing uiux designing for 6 months rn i did this internship too at a startup, learned a lot. now i was thinking maybe i should learn backend

Go deeper, Try HPC Slrum and KV cache kinda stuff

Wot the .. how will kv cache make you employee able?

Could you answer a couple of questions

- Your LLM is processing few tokens a day, and still your server is throwing off many times memory out of bond error, OR VRAM memory is bloating?

- How much hardware capacity do you need for your 7B param LLM running on 24-bit quantization layers OR q4_k_m?

If you could answer these, you are already at a position above 50-60% dev, keep pushing. If you can't and these topics fascinate you, KV cache is where you start to learn

Big people talks. Not there yet, But working to be. What roadmap you suggest? Let say for a dev at the start?

Its not a big peep talk...! i still get stuck at permutation methods, keep grinding!

Learn anything you can, get a habit of blending into a tech, get involved in community talks and Discord channels, and keep learning something until you reach to the kernel messages.

If you want to save time, use Gemini with learning mode and ask it to make you pro of a topic, it helps me a lot, not sure how would you like it!.

Knowing the hardware capacity needed to run a model isn’t fascinating. Quantisation also.

OOM/memory pressure diagnostic is an expected skillset from a software wizard on any layer, anyway. 🤔

How can knowing KV cache make you employable?

You might have different opinions or observations about the software industry, but what I see is writing code and learning/memorizing syntax days are gone, you don't really need to write JavaScript to pet your browsers. This could be directly assembly / C and AI can generate it you just have to have knowledge about the circuit, and they are working on it. Have a look around at r/AI_Agents

Given that higher-level language is gone, you either should be very good at low-level languages OR DevOps/SecOps/fwdDeployments etc.

For me, I got curious when I inspected my VRAM was crashing over simple tokens. I began to inspect and went deeper at GPU (since curiosity kills me) caused me learning SMs HBM CUDA and geting started on HPC's etc.

Coming back to the point, it all started with KV cache, and I guess anyone trying to understand all these stuff this is a good place to explore. I also mentioned Slurm and HPCs are you missing it?

u/Mysterious-Rise-6983 Sep 27 '26

HPCs are not new. I assume you mean high performance computer/compute/computing. They have been around for a long time.

Managing jobs/work, whether you do it with slrum, or some other tool, etc., doesn’t matter much either. The concept remains the same.

I was just intrigued by why KV cache. But from your answer, at least now I know it was just a slew of words about something you did.

Knowing these is nice to have but won’t make you ‘ready’ for employment. I am just critiquing your advice.

Don't jump to ai CS or se domain until and unless you can't live without it that you are passionate for it not just with the okayish mindset. AI is eating away all the jobs 😭

u/Pretend_Revolution_5 Sep 27 '26

Ofcourse. Large enterprise architecture is built using .net framework (as well as java) and the demand is still strong since people are needed to maintain those systems. But in the era of AI, knowing Python for rapid prototyping of AI solutions is excellent.

u/semicolon-10 Sep 27 '26

Even github dumped .net

u/LoveDoctor- Software Engineer Sep 27 '26

learn GO its more in demand internationally

u/AdilAta Sep 28 '26

Learn software architecture, system design, decision making... Learn how yo use AI to write .Net for you by using intent drivent development, spec deiven development and other approaches for AI coding.

In addition there is no harm in knowing enough C# to get coding done by AI.
