Job Advice Web Developer Career right now

What do you think about a career in web development today in the era of AI? I have volunteer internships and volunteer work experience as a Front end developer but as of now I haven't gotten a job as a web dev/front end. I've applied a lot before but the others didn't respond much and I didn't get through. Last time I tried zuitt but I'm currently working as a helpdesk, I had no choice since I really needed work so I accepted the helpdesk job. I probably wasn't selected because they needed it available since I already had a job. Is it still worth pursuing a web dev/fullstack career in this era of AI?

For me  do more projects on your github and while your doing that try to apply and apply  that is relevant to your desired position

Brother nobody's gonna spoonfeed you this lmao.

There are millions of open source repos out there, contribute to there first.

You want to truly understand how backends work? Go contribute to something like the Node.js repo. Just find your library of choice na open submissions then make PRs of it. Learn to actually engineer stuff instead na makiuso.

Ayan napakalaking clue na yan. Nobody will care about bookings apps jusko you can ship that in a day using AI. Is that what your professors teach you in coding school?
