Should I Continue Learning Web Design or Switch to Game Development?
Asked by

I'm currently a third-year student and just started learning web design through FreeCodeCamp. I've finished the basics of HTML and CSS, and I'm now thinking about diving into backend development. However, I'm torn between continuing with web design and switching to game development, which is another tutorial available on FreeCodeCamp. I started learning a bit late, and with all the buzz about AI potentially taking over jobs, I'm worried about whether learning web design the traditional way is worth it looking ahead to 2026. Should I complete my web design learning, or is it better to pivot to game development or maybe even machine learning?

Don't stress about AI. It’s not going to replace programmers anytime soon. Instead, it's likely to enhance our skills. Finish your full-stack journey; having that foundation will only help you in the future.

I see where you're coming from! Building things, whether it's websites or games, is fulfilling in different ways. If you like both, consider sticking with web design for now but keep your options open for game development.

Honestly, you might want to finish web design. The basics are crucial. Even if AI is talked about a lot, it’s not going to replace your ability to understand how things work. You'll still need to know your stuff to effectively use AI tools.

Learning the fundamentals is key! It's better to understand how to build things manually rather than relying solely on AI. You’ll be in a much better position to guide AI if you have a solid grasp of the basics.
