As a backend developer with Node.js experience, I'm eager to upskill in generative AI. Where should I begin? Should I prioritize learning Python, diving into machine learning algorithms, or explore other avenues?

Upskill to Gen AI- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have never worked on AI or ML. Seeing the career opportunities in AI (specially generaive AI) I want to enter into it. I am interested into AI and not ML. ML is too much of mathematics I feel. I am golang and mictoservices based software architect. How can I make this switch? Will attending some udemy cources and doing a project help? Is it possible in golang or do I must have to switch to python?

How can I switch to a AI/generative AI career?

Principal Engineer

I am currently working as Backend Developer. I had decent projects but if we see today's trend they are just backend serving some APIs. I was thinking to learn generative AI and Lang chain.

Can someone tell me some idea of project that I can build side by side for my resume.

Also, how's the idea of learning about generative AI and langchain?

Can someone share some roadmap if they already followed the path!!

Project Suggestions

Software Developer

I am an ML enthusiast and have been learning Reinforcement Learning and other Algorithms to shift my profile to ML engineer. But as soon as I started applying for jobs, every job is looking for people who have experience in GENAI, LLMs, etc. So I want to know, how can I become one?

With a lot of things and hype around AI, I am having real FOMO. I want to start learning about AI and planning to do some mini projects involving the latest LLMs and Other AI library. 

Could anyone suggest plan or resources on How do I start my journey in AI and learn generative AI

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hello,

Thinking of upskilling/educating myself to venture more into the AI driven product management style.

All I know is to start with Andrew NG's Intro to Generative AI course.

Would really appreciate it if you could guide me on how to proceed after that.

Thank you!!

With AI improving we see it is quite capable of writing decent codes, how can someone new to tech decide on what to pick up? Frontend or Backend or both. Nowadays they say Full stack developers are in demand but shouldn't one be good at at least one thing and have knowledge about other things? How to prioritise what to learn. There are just so many things that I'm a bit confused as to what to learn and focus on. I'd like to seek advice from a future perspective, and any predictions on how the tech industry might shape up.

Hey, If I wish to learn Gen AI , is there AI technology that I can learn but doesn't require much skilled in math ?!

Frontend Engineer

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks

Jobs which will be created /not impacted by AI

Hey Everyone,

I am a 3YoE backend developer with little AI role and web development experience in the industry and I wanted to grow my career as more like an ✨Elite Engineer✨ who not just builds stuff but optimizes it to the core, oversees the future bottlenecks, the alternative approaches blah blah and you get the point. But the problem is that my learning is all over places. Please suggest/ guide you to be that ✨Elite Engineer✨ if you can. I want to continue to be a backend engineer (no more switching domain)

Disclaimer: I don’t want to do it because of the money (of course I need a future) but to have a solid understanding of it (it would be great if I end up as SDE)

Elite Devs, plz help!?🙂

Hi, I've been working as a data scientist and currently have a 2 yoe in a product based b2b startup(directly joined from college). 
But almost everything I've done here is a job of a SDE, and now I'm looking for a switch. I think I'm good in DSA/LLD and have been repreparing for it from last few months.

But the problem is, the quality of software engineering work here is really not upto the mark, everything I worked upon was mostly from scratch, so I don't have the experience of working with an existing large codebase. 

Secondly, although the features I got to work on sound fancy but I don't think they were much challenging , it was some API doing normal DB operations etc. There was also some work on building some satellite imagery and some other data downloading, storing and fetching services. Even those were mostly about DB operations. 
Thirdly, the startup I work in doesn't have much requirement of writing proper test cases, or writing very modular code (although I try to write as much as possible), neither the APIs faced much scale issues (as it's a b2b startup and the APIs here really don't face that amount of scale which many of the other companies I heard of face) 

I did learn a lot of some of the most used AWS related services, as I also got to work on building deployment pipelines over kubernetes etc.

But in general I'm very much in fear if I would be doing good if I join any good company especially the MNCs as a SDE-1/2. I do feel I can clear the DSA+LLD interviews and maybe even the beginner level HLD interviews (which are asked at my experience level) but I feel quite inferior to the crowd who will be working there and I might even not match the requirements/quality of my peers properly in the starting.

Backend tech stacks I worked on: spring-boot(20%), python-fastapi/flask/django(80%) and also have worked with postgres and mongoDB.

Feeling very lost here, can anyone suggest any way such that along with interview preparation, I also get a much better developer who can actually start contributing in the bigger companies and not considered as a liability and get laid off later.

Feeling quite lost, how hard is the work of a backend engineer in a top MNC?

What courses or learning should I pursue to enhance my knowledge in AI interms of real-time  applications , I'm currently  a .Net developer  with 4 years of experience.

Professionally  learning AI

I'm a java developer, what all things I can do to get AI ready

Let’s say If, A big if, AI becomes self sufficient to do the job of a backend developer, like it’s able to write basic crud apps, simple system design stuff it can do and slowly it keeps getting better at debugging and stuff. (It should not need debugging tho) 

What can I as a backend developer do, to keep myself relevant in the market and always be able to find a new job?

How to stay relevant post AI takeover?

Can you please suggest a course/videos to learn Gen AI ?

Gen AI Course

Hey everyone, happy to answer any questions around Data Science/ML/AI and making a career within it

A brief about me, I work currently as a Sr. ML Engineer at an Indian unicorn startup 
I graduated 5+ years ago and have since worked as a Data Scientist / ML Engineer at an ecommerce company and social media company. My designations have changed based on the industry requirements and work too changed based on that.

Would love to take questions on what it means to be an ML Engineer, my early learnings from a career in data science, and thoughts on AI.

Look forward to all questions :)
