if your goal is AI/ML, you do not need to become a full-stack developer, but learning some basics of web/backend honestly helps a lot. not because you will become a web dev, but because real AI projects usually need APIs, databases, deployment, dashboards, or some way for users to interact with your model. you do not need deep React/frontend mastery, but knowing basic backend databases, and how to deploy projects will make you much stronger than someone who only knows models in notebooks. i would focus mainly on python, math/stats, ML, deep learning, and projects first, then learn enough full-stack to actually ship and showcase your AI work.

AI/ML is a software engineer or data scientist with deeper expertise in AI/ML systems/pipelines/orchestration.
You'll want to learn some full-stack, if not other types of software engineering. Perhaps backend, data engineering, embedded, depends on what domain you'll want to apply AI/ML to.

backend and data engineering skills definitely help more than frontend for ml work, but having some understanding of how to deploy models through apis is pretty useful too

For sure

linux terminal bash aws backend cipipelines is hti smuch okay for extras?
EntrepreneurHuge5008@reddit
You're not "mastering" these, even non-AI/ML software engineers are only concerned with learning enough to get the job done.
moonknigh0t@reddit (OP)
still doing this much is too much or just fine?
EntrepreneurHuge5008@reddit
Not sure what you think AI/ML engineers do, but if you think it's limited to what you learned in your ML class, then you'll be in for a rude awakening.
It's "just fine." Your first job won't be in AI/ML, you'll either start as a Software Dev, a Data Scientist, a Data Analyst, or some other related technical/quantitative role, and then you'll eventually move into AI/ML.

so according to you software engineer is good as 1st job ?

In general when you study CS or similar you will have basic development knowledge however if your sole goal is to go to Data Science then no, you're better of with mathematics or Data Science.

i'll take that advice into consideration
