I’m reaching out to all software engineers, especially senior developers — I really want to hear your thoughts.
I’ve always loved building things with code and solving real-world problems. It’s what drives me. But with the rapid rise of AI, I’ll be honest — it’s been frustrating and unsettling.
Where does this leave us? What does the future hold for experienced engineers like us?
How do we stay relevant, future-proof our careers, and continue doing meaningful work?
I’m at a crossroads and trying to figure out the next direction:
- Should I go deeper into AI?
- Focus on cloud engineering?
- Explore blockchain more seriously?
For context, I have extensive experience in Elixir and backend systems — but I’m open to where the future is headed.And I love working with elixir
Would love to hear from others in the field. What are you thinking, planning, or worried about? Let’s talk.
