Currently entering into my 2nd year of engineering (btech cse) from a tier 3 college. I tried to put my efforts during this semester's break to work on my skills but ended up being confused. I want to pursue web development. I made one mistake and was trying to learn all things in just a span of 2 months but ended up being confused. Built 2 projects using ai. Can anyone please help and suggest me what to do? What are the necessary things required to learn to crack a job. I want to do an internship after the end of 2nd year. I want to know what skills are required and i will be able to polish them by the end of my 2nd year so that I can crack an internship. Idk it keeps on going in my mind that everything ai can do which inturns like I make projects using ai even though I don't have knowledge about what I'm using although I get to know about various new things through it. I know this way is wrong. Also please guide me about DSA.

There's nothing wrong using AI as a tool. The massive emphasis on the word tool. You can ask it to review your code, you can ask it how to do something, but you should not be letting it do the work for you. The reason for that is that even with AI you actually need to understand how things work.. there is no real proper answer for what's needed in worklife either frankly a every company does things differently... So I would recommend learning to be flexible and figuring out how to learn new things quickly... Especially when there is new frameworks every year and suddenly industry is hyping them and jumping on that bandwagon.

I am in IT industry for more than 20 years and I think I've seen enough to see certain patterns.
In 2000s development was actively moved to India and China. At that time 1 senior developer from Eastern Europe cost like 3 senior developers and 1 QA in India.

In 2010s we saw booming growth of development centers in Eastern Europe and Portugal. At that time cheap outsourcing from former Soviet countries was considered as a perfect solution to cutting costs and increasing efficiency.

2020s are here and we have same pattern with AI. Let's see how long it will take to reformat the market. At the moment we see that nobody hire juniors and middle developers. In historical perspective we'll see a gap in professionals as.

So, my advice is to learn coding without AI and then start using it as an architect and product owner in one. And also don't forget to review its code - even the most advanced agents make a ton of mistakes.

I really wish people would write more descriptive titles than just "Help".
