Cold truth: If you're a #developer and only networking on LinkedIn you're missing half the industry.
@LinkedIn is where people polish their resumes. @X is where people show their active builds, discuss live tech stacks and troubleshoot in public.
The sheer density of active builders on X rn from local AI engineers to indie game devs is insane.
Where do you find your best technical conversations happen?
@Jmcssystems That's an interesting perspective. I think that's what people sometimes overlook. AI can write the code but deciding what's worth building and making sure it actually makes sense still requires human judgment. experience makes a big difference here.
Unpopular opinion:
Learning to code is still valuable in the age of AI.
AI can generate code.
But understanding what to build, why it works and how to improve it is a different skill.
Don't just learn to prompt. Learn to think like a builder.
What do you think?
@itsdavidsnir I'd say you need both. knowing how to code helps you understand the building blocks while software architecture helps you see the bigger picture. one without the other can be limiting
@uzair__afridi Nice, local AI is evolving so fast. are you mostly running things via Ollama / LM Studio or building custom pipelines with open source LLMs?
@Krutivijay Haha, can't argue with that completely. AI can get you surprisingly far but when things break, you need to understand what's happening under the hood. that's where knowing how to code really matters
