12 May Challenge.

I’m working a full-time job while giving myself until 12 May to level up as a stronger Full-Stack + AI Software Engineer.

The focus:
→ DSA & problem solving
→ Frontend
→ Backend & System design
→ AI / GenAI
→ Real-world projects

AI is changing how we write software.
I don't want to just get better at prompting AI.
I want to get better at understanding, building, debugging, and engineering software myself — and use AI as a tool, not a replacement for fundamentals.

I'll share what I build, what I learn, what breaks, and what I improve along the way.

Full-time job. Limited time. One goal.

See you on 12 May. 🚀

2025/26 season stats:
Kane vs Mbappé vs Yamal ⚽🔥

Who had the best season? 👀

[Keval Mehta @kevalcodes]

@ratishtwts 73 goals he deserves it 🔥

[Keval Mehta @kevalcodes]

Who will win ballon d'or?
Harry Kane or Mbappe?

Does anyone else feel like this sometimes? 😭

Claude Code is doing its thing, and you're just watching…

Hoping it knows what it's doing because you don't fully understand the code either. 💀

Scary AF 💀

[Keval Mehta @kevalcodes]

What if the next 2 years change the software industry forever?

Imagine this:

• Teams of 50 reduced to 5.
• Service-based IT companies losing their biggest advantage: cheap manpower.
• Freshers struggling to get their first job.
• Experienced developers competing for fewer openings.
• Entire teams replaced by AI + a handful of engineers.
The scary part?

This shift may already be starting.

Are we prepared for a future where knowing how to code is no longer enough to get hired?

People working in IT services, what are you seeing inside your companies?

@SSShken @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs @OpenAINewsroom @sama I keep switching between latest and older and Reload window 4-5 times then currently it's working but as I shut down then again issue.
Fix this @OpenAI @sama

What's going on with the Codex VS Code extension? 😭

It keeps failing to start its UI, and switching between the latest and older versions hasn't fixed the issue.

Is anyone else facing this, or is there a fix I'm missing?

Hey #devs 👋

I'm starting my system design journey and looking to connect with developers who are learning or have already mastered it.

I'd love to learn from your experiences, mistakes, and the resources that actually helped you.

If you're also learning system design, let's connect and grow together. 🤝

Drop a comment if you're on the same path!

[Keval Mehta @kevalcodes]

Any suggestions?

[Keval Mehta @kevalcodes]

I've started learning system design and want to learn it end to end.

Dev friends, what playlist or articles did you personally follow when learning system design from scratch?

Looking for resources that cover the fundamentals all the way to real-world system design interviews.

Your recommendations would genuinely help a lot. 🙌

Coding isn't dead. But coding alone is.
AI writes the code now. The skills that matter:

→ Communication
→ Public speaking
→ Explaining tradeoffs
→ Asking the right questions
→ Writing clearly
→ Saying no
→ Ownership

In 2026, soft skills ARE the hard skills."
