| | I am working with full stack solutions consisting of node.js and React among other things. Different app solutions both for mobile and web. I most often can’t see any use case for AI/ML in our products but I suspect that it is easier to see opportunities when you have some experience with the tools. Any ideas on how I can keep up my learning in these areas so that I stay relevant as a software engineer in the long run? I know that it is a general topic but I think that it is important to stay up to date on the subject. |

I'm admittedly a skeptic on all this so take what I am about to say with a grain of salt: You should trust that voice. We're in a hype cycle. It was VR before and crypto before that. Big tech is trying _very_ hard to convince you that you need this. They need you to need this tech because they are lighting billions on fire right now trying to make it smart enough to do anything useful. Short of them coming up with a truly miraculous breakthrough in the next 12 to 24 months (very unlikely but theres always a chance) investors are gonna get fed up and turn off the money fountain.
It's always a good idea to learn and grow your skillset. I am just not sure this is an investment that will pay off.
