hey im a BCA student 2nd year(tier 3🙂). apart from the college studies. im learning "full stack web development" to get a job.
the skills i have learnt:
html
css
js
jQuery
git github
unix command line
node.js
express.js
also in college i have learnt basics of database and i can write the queries.
currently im learning api's and then I'll go with react.
after the completion I'll start building the projects.
the basic project like:
calculate
todo list
piano(using keypress event of js)
and many mini project.
the thing is my few friends who were in pre university are learning the ai/ml. the thing which i fear is will ai replace Full stack developer or it's an evergreen.
if ai takeover all my hardwork is wasted. in 2-3 months I'll cover Full stack development.
any suggestion, which skill i should learn apart from full stack web development. so that i don't rely on one thing.
if anyone of you are in working profession please guide me as a brother❤️.
also suggest where i can improve my English communication.

Honestly sounds like you’re not smart enough to be a SWE in this AI-driven era.

that's unnecessarily harsh. op is actively learning and building skills which is way more than most people do. full stack isn't going anywhere anytime soon - someone still needs to build and maintain the actual applications that use ai. keep grinding on those projects, they matter more than you think.

Still im in learning stage and there are many things to explore. It's not like being smart or dump. I need to focus on my college and for development i get very less time.

We’ll see AI driven market contraction for the next few years, and only the best talents will remain. So the talent pool requirement by then will be similar to that of being a neurosurgeon, except getting a CS degree is too easy. If the bar to education was as difficult as medical school, we won’t have this huge supply of CS grads issue.
By the time when you graduate the talent requirements will be way higher than what is right now, and I don’t think most grads will ever be able to pass the hiring bar. Maybe low tier companies sure.

Thank you for replying, but Exactly this is what i was about to ask what else i could do. To secure me from unemployment recommendation me any skill/course that i can improve rather than talking about random thoughts

Core foundations - DSA, networking, DB, OS. Skills aren’t relevant and fast brain to adapt and learn new things matter the most. I don’t even type a single letter on my IDE anymore. It’s just for reading code and running commands.
Coding isn’t done by devs anymore - our job responsibilities are rapidly changing and we’re now more of orchestrator and designing systems. 99% of the job is now to review and assess the AI output - if you don’t have strong foundation not needed.

Sure

High GPA (Top 10 in your university's CS program) preferably a top 10 CS school like MIT.
2 very well made projects on your Github page that solve real world problems and offers a working solution. If you have more than 3 projects in your Github page that's red flag and will only hurt you.
These are the only two things that matter aside from real world expirence. 2 to 4 years of real world expirence triumphs over the other 2.
