The AI Engineering Skills Map highlights 4 areas:
1️⃣ Build & deploy AI applications
2️⃣ Software engineering fundamentals
3️⃣ Use coding agents
4️⃣ Shape the build
As AI makes coding faster, engineering judgment becomes more valuable.

Understanding the AI Stack: LLM → RAG → AI Agent → Agentic AI
One of the biggest misconceptions in AI is treating these terms as interchangeable. They actually represent different layers of intelligence and capability.
🔹 LLM (Large Language Model) – Generates and understands natural language using its pretrained knowledge.
🔹 RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) – Enhances an LLM by retrieving relevant, up-to-date information from external knowledge sources, reducing hallucinations.
🔹 AI Agent – Goes beyond answering questions by planning tasks, using tools, calling APIs, writing code, and executing workflows.
🔹 Agentic AI – Coordinates multiple AI agents to solve complex, goal-driven problems with minimal human intervention. This is where autonomous AI systems begin to emerge.
As AI engineers, understanding these layers helps us choose the right architecture instead of assuming every application needs a fully autonomous agent.
The future of AI isn't just about building larger models—it's about combining reasoning, retrieval, memory, tools, and orchestration into intelligent systems.
Which layer are you currently working with: LLMs, RAG, AI Agents, or Agentic AI? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
AI-Assisted Software Development isn't about replacing developers, it's about amplifying their capabilities. AI excels at generating ideas, code, and documentation, while humans remain responsible for architecture, validation, security, and quality. #AI#SoftwareEngineering

@elcatrachito07 Gracias mae, voy a revisar en detalle el programa para entender la diferencia y el orden correcto. Primero el 6 y luego el 10 o viceversa
