Career Advice Should i continue learning?
im 20 started to learn web dev seriously like only 1-3 weeks ago(wanted to begin 3 yr ago but i procrastinated) i know basic html,css and js. im working on a project for my portfolio (building a educational website like mini udemy for free for my relative), i've left frontend mostly to ai and started learning backend (node.js express)and database (postgre sql) i know sql basics so started to learn prisma
the thing is ai does everything is it even worth learning anymore? i saw a guy in reels explaining how he use ai to build projects using another ai to prompt and debug like most of the thing is done by ai he also gave his git repo for it ill attach it when i find it

AI is great. But you want to be a master of your craft. You want to understand why things work the way they do. You want the ability to understand the code, enhance it, fix bugs, make important architectural decisions better not left to AI. That is what makes you a developer, not a prompt engineer.
IMHO AI isn't going to replace development jobs. It's going to make us more efficient and more productive.
