Guide me in my path.

What should I change / update or even must to add to my path of programming journey in this rising era of AI?

Right now AI is moving super fast, but if you only chase the hype you maybe get lost. so i think keep some balance:

1. keep your basics strong – like data structure, algorithms, how computers really work. this never goes out of style.

2. learn little math – not super heavy, but understand linear algebra, probability, and little bit calculus. it help a lot if you dive into AI deeper.

3. pick one solid programming language – Python is king for AI, but don’t only stay there. knowing something like C++ or Java also give you edge.

4. learn AI tools but not only rely on them – ChatGPT, Copilot, HuggingFace, all cool, but remember they are just tools. if you don’t know why code works, you just copy paste robot stuff.

5. do projects – small apps, bots, data analysis, anything. when you show you can build something real, people trust your skills more than just certificates.

6. understand cloud and deployment – because most AI today run on cloud. AWS, GCP, Azure, even small stuff like Docker/Kubernetes.

7. follow trends but don’t panic – like right now AI agent, LLM, generative models are hot. learn them slowly, step by step. you don’t need to master all at once.

so short answer: focus on basics, pick AI and cloud skills, build real things, and keep learning.

But this is the question not onlyu for you , it is for many of the students and hope the system willbe updated towards using AI and growing with it!
Hope it helped !
Thank you!
