The journey started with pen and paper. I used the same kind of notebook that I use to keep a diary. I had only heard of REST APIs. A little. Like what they were... And slowly, over the next 6 months, I picked up the structural understanding and shipped a consumer intelligence platform.
I am now building an MCP wrapper for Signalwatch. The right internship even pays $20 - $30 per hour. Previously, the highest I earned per hour was $2.2.
It was not earning more dollars that got me on this path. It was a clique that probably played a prank and told me that a person from wher I come from should not handle queries from certain big clients. long story..., and a positive outcome.
It is a lifetime journey now.
Now I want to know what Rest API’s are… I don’t know if it’s related to my field
Designed a modern crypto wallet dashboard focused on clarity, usability, and speed.
The interface gives users an instant overview of their portfolio, asset allocation, recent activity, and performance, while keeping core actions like Send, Receive, Swap, and Buy just one click away.
The goal was to make complex financial data feel simple through clean hierarchy, thoughtful spacing, and a polished dark UI.
AI did not make great developers obsolete.
It made average execution cheap.
Anyone can now generate:
• A landing page
• A dashboard
• An API
• A mobile app
• 5,000 lines of code before lunch
But here is what AI still cannot decide for you:
- Should this feature exist?
- Will a real customer understand it?
- Is the experience fast, trustworthy, and accessible?
- Can the system survive its first 10,000 users?
- Will another developer understand the code six months later?
The value of a developer is no longer measured by how quickly they can type code.
It is measured by the quality of the decisions they make before, during, and after the code is written.
AI can help you build almost anything.
Taste tells you what is worth building.
Engineering judgment makes sure it actually works.
The developers who win this decade will not compete against AI.
They will combine AI speed with the product thinking, creativity, and technical depth that AI cannot replace.
What is one skill you believe becomes MORE valuable as AI gets better?

Writing good acceptance criteria. AI can turn a loose prompt into a lot of plausible code fast, so I spend more time defining success before the build and proving it afterward.
