I'm currently a second-year BCA student learning full stack web development to secure a job after college. I've gained skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Git, the Unix command line, Node.js, and Express.js. I've also learned the basics of databases and can write queries. Right now, I'm diving into APIs before moving on to React, and I plan to start building projects like a calculator, a to-do list, and a piano app using JavaScript key press events.
However, I'm concerned about the future of my career as some of my friends are focusing on AI and machine learning. I worry that AI might replace full stack developers and that all my hard work will go to waste. I want to know if full stack development is a stable career path or if I should learn additional skills to diversify my options. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially from those already in the workforce! Also, I'd love some tips on improving my English communication skills.

I think you're on the right track with your current skills! AI won’t fully replace developers, but it can assist us in better ways. Learning about AI itself, even at a basic level, could be beneficial. Consider integrating some knowledge of machine learning into your studies. And for English, practice makes perfect! Try engaging in conversations online or join a language class; it really helps.
Honestly, while AI is changing the landscape of tech jobs, I wouldn’t panic about it replacing full stack developers entirely. Many companies still value the human touch in development, especially for creative problem-solving and complex systems. Focus on continuous learning and be open to new technologies, and you’ll stay relevant in the field. Beyond full stack, you might want to look into cloud computing or DevOps, as these areas are growing and often overlap with web development.
Exactly! Plus, skills like project management and understanding user experience design can set you apart from others. Always keep learning!
Good point! Also, don’t shy away from using language apps or online forums to practice your English regularly. It’s all about practice!
