Hi So, Now everything around us has some sort of AI badge. Even on my Washing Machine. Seriously, Now it recommends me to select the mode based on my route. Let me give you a brief introduction about me. I am a developer who works major in Web. And with AI now, I am able to make beautiful UIs in seconds and write code build my side projects in Hours. I just need a prompt and some <TAB> <TAB>. Done.

Why I wrote this article #

If we see it from managing or productive side then it is awesome. You are now able to do Hours of work in minutes. If you are in cooperate or have a job then It fits in very awesome way. But, if it is easy then anyone can do it. I observed that WEB DEVELOPMENT is not a hard thing anymore any one that know what to build can make websites. Well. Now you say building UI with AI is nothing main thing is managing it, sustaining it. I know that. I am not saying any non tech can build or sustain it. I am talking about the competition. Already the competition in Web Development is very high very other person is build an AI SaaS for nothing. And I think, Now companies and Startups don’t need a lot of people for Web Development and which means less Jobs and less opportunities as most of the work is simple.

As a student or person who want to get in tech or want to learn something to earn money in long term. The path of learning about Web Development not looks safe anymore.

What is the future of Web development #

If we see the growth of AI and the tools that are available right now like we have IDEs AI integrated and some generic packages or libraries which works very fine with AI like if We need the world of web and intelligence if AI we can conclude at using tech likeshadcn/ui and Better Auth for authentication also for backend serverless functions, ORMs like Prisma helps to build any product very easily Everything is open and works fine with AI. Famous AI models knows about these technologies and they work very effectively on these.

And in future it will get more better because almost 90% of the code of any website is open and there is a lot of data on which AI models can be trained. Every open-source frameworks, public tutorials, GitHub repos, countless blog posts, StackOverflow questions, boilerplates, templates, and design systems are public by default. And the feedback loop of the web makes things even easier for AI. If you write HTML or React, you instantly see the result. If something breaks, the browser reports the exact line.

AI eating this domain of tech very rapidly.

What do learn then #

Before answering this question I want to ask why you get in tech. The problem with today’s generation is that they think I will get in tech build websites and earn money. You and I we both know that the most easiest job in tech is to build websites and people choose it because it is simple. The harsh truth is people became lazy and they want instant feedbacks that’s why nowadays we don’t see any projects like Linux, Git or some revolutionary tech because they are depended on AI. and AI knows Web better so defaults to it.

So, What to do uh? what should i learn. The answer is very simple do what AI cannot do. Programming is not dead. The humours are faking it. AI is not able to build a native app for windows, android, It is not able to build custom software for specific hardware, it cannot do cyber security. Literary it fails to code in system languages like C, C++, or Rust, Even in kotlin. You know why because the information build about these is less and building a solution for hardware or building an native app or doing cyber security stuff needs on demand actions that AI cannot replicate. Fields like DevOps AI cannot replace as it needs to work on demand according to external stimuli.

What is the point of building native #

So, my friend why you should build a mobile app with native tech you can use JavaScript to build it. Technically it works. It shows a screen, buttons click, cool. But then I’m like… bro look at our devices. We literally have super powerful chips now, like phones with GPUs that are better than old consoles, laptops with crazy CPUs, RAM is cheap, SSD is fast… and still I open 20 chrome tabs and the whole thing starts dying. I run a game on my RTX and it can’t even stay on 60 FPS. Why? Why are games 150GB now? Why is a simple chat app using 700MB RAM?

And the sad part is we all kinda became lazy. We just accept it. No one wants to build their own game engine because “eh too much work.” No one wants to create their own UI library because “just npm install something.” Everything is off-the-shelf now. Zero originality. Every website looks copy-paste same. Every game feels same. Every app has that same template vibe. We’re not optimizing, we’re just piling more stuff on top.

Can AI really Replace you #

See, It depends on your skills. Honestly… depends on what you’re doing. Like, seriously. If your whole skillset is just copying templates, building basic CRUD, making landing pages, doing the same loops everyone is doing, then yeah AI is on your heels. Because AI is literally trained on that stuff. It has seen millions of those patterns.

But the funny thing is the stuff I talked about above the messy parts, AI can’t touch that. It just can’t. It doesn’t know how to handle real hardware problems, memory issues, native bugs, performance tuning, cybersecurity attacks, networking glitches, weird OS behavior. That stuff is too real. Too unpredictable. Too out of the training data bubble. Only humans can deal with it.

And this whole “recession because of AI” panic? Bro, half of it is just people sitting in their comfort zone. They open VS Code, type two prompts into an AI agent, feel like a CEO for a minute, and then scroll reels for half an hour. Then they wonder why they’re not growing and blame AI like it’s hunting them personally. It’s not AI. It’s the fact that we all got a bit too comfortable building comfort zone software.

AI is not replacing the people who actually touch the real stuff the complex systems, the deep logic, the broken pipelines, the debugging nightmares, the places where you can’t just hallucinate a solution. AI is replacing the lazy, repetitive parts, the factory style coding that didn’t need a human in the first place.

Conclusion #

At the end of the day it’s actually not that deep.
You wanna stay irreplaceable?
Just stop doing the bare minimum and calling it a “skill.”
Get out of the comfort zone stuff.
Start touching the parts of tech where AI straight up falls on its face. Systems, hardware, native, security, actual optimisation is the real engineering side of things.

That’s literally the whole game.
