Honest AI Talks: Staying Relevant as Software Eng

Worried AI is coming for your job? Or just tired of the noise — every other post screaming that engineers are obsolete, while others say nothing's changed? This is an honest, hype-free conversation about what's actually happening and how to make AI work for you instead of replacing you.

We're Shivam & Aarushi, software engineers with 8 years each at companies like Microsoft, Nutanix, DevRev, and Cloudera — using these tools in real production work every day, not just talking about them.

In this 1:1, we'll get into:

• A clear-eyed take on what AI can and can't do in real engineering work
• The tools actually worth learning right now (and which are just hype)
• How to use AI to ship faster, debug smarter, and 10x your output
• Which skills are getting more valuable as AI rises — and which to stop over-investing in
• How to position yourself so you're the engineer who uses AI, not the one replaced by it
• Practical next steps to future-proof your career

You'll leave with clarity instead of anxiety, and a concrete plan to stay ahead of the curve rather than chasing it.

Come with your worries, your curiosity, or just the questions you're afraid to ask out loud. Let's talk honestly. 🤖
