Instead of asking “Will AI replace software engineers?”, I think a better question is:

“What happens to developers who refuse to learn AI tools deeply?”

Honestly I notice two very different mindsets around AI right now:

1. People who are afraid of AI and keep repeating that software engineering is dying.
2. People who are aggressively learning AI tools and using them to become faster, more productive, and more valuable.

The second group seems much more dangerous professionally.

What I’m starting to feel is that maybe the future developer is not the person who writes every line manually, but the person who:

• understands systems deeply,
• knows how to guide AI correctly,
• can verify architecture and code quality,
• solves real business problems,
• and uses AI as leverage instead of competing against it.

It feels similar to how calculators didn’t kill mathematicians, but changed what became valuable.

So I want to ask experienced engineers:

• What AI tools are actually worth learning deeply right now?
• What skills become MORE valuable in the AI era?
• What skills are becoming commoditized?
• How are senior engineers around you adapting?
• Do you think junior developers should still spend years learning fundamentals traditionally?
• What would you focus on if you were starting your career today?

I feel like many students are either blindly hyped or blindly afraid, and I’m trying to find a more realistic perspective.

Would love honest opinions from people already working in the industry.

I’m about to graduate with a Computer Science degree in Tunisia, and honestly, I feel lost about what direction I should take next.

Over the last few years, I realized that I’m not fully passionate about the idea of spending my whole life coding in front of a screen or staying a salaried employee forever. At the same time, I’m also attracted to business, entrepreneurship, commerce, and more dynamic fields like real estate and sales.

Right now, I’m considering several options:

• Continue improving my software engineering skills seriously and try building an international career in tech.
• Work for a few years, save money, then move into entrepreneurship later.
• Skip the traditional software path and directly enter business/commercial fields.
• Apply for a Master’s degree abroad.
• Continue a Master’s in Tunisia (although I’m not very convinced by the value of it).

My biggest problem is that I don’t have a clear vision yet. I feel stuck between “build a stable tech career first” and “take risks early and explore business opportunities.”

For people who have already been through this phase:

• Did you ever feel disconnected from software engineering after graduating?
• Is it smarter to first build a strong technical career before moving into business?
• If you were 22 again in my position, what would you do?
• Do you think international opportunities are worth chasing early?
• How did you discover what you actually wanted long term?

I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from developers, engineers, or entrepreneurs who went through similar confusion early in their careers.

Thank you 🤍

Hi everyone,

I’m a computer science student from Tunisia (currently finishing my Bachelor’s degree at ISIMM Monastir), and I’m trying to make an important decision about my future.

I’m hesitating between:

Doing a Master’s degree in Tunisia

Trying to study abroad (especially France, but it’s expensive and requires a blocked account)

Or focusing directly on work / self-learning and maybe starting a business later

From my experience, most of what I learned during my Bachelor’s wasn’t very practical, and I had to rely a lot on self-learning. That’s why I’m questioning the real value of a Master’s degree.

At the same time, I’m also interested in business and entrepreneurship, and I don’t see myself staying in a classic office job long-term.

So I’d really appreciate honest advice from people with experience:

Is pursuing a Master’s degree still worth it in 2026 (especially in CS)?

Is studying abroad (like in France) really a game changer, or can I succeed without it?

What are the most in-demand tech skills right now (both in Tunisia and internationally)?

If you were in my position, what would you do?

Is it realistic to combine a tech career with starting a business later?

How important is the degree vs real skills in today’s job market?

What mistakes should I avoid at this stage?

I’m looking for real, practical advice — not just theory.

Thanks a lot 🙏
