ksrisivan··on Ask HN: How do I find my niche and hone my skills as a software engineer?
Yes, the rational part of me is telling that complex jobs in the field cannot be handled by AI alone without human contribution, but there's this other part which is always on its toes and gets just a tiny bit discouraged anytime it sees a news article relating to look how good AI is at this stuff!

I guess the only way to overcome this is to build my fundamentals bit by bit and make myself able to take on complex jobs.

Thanks for the recs! I acknowledge the importance of interpersonal and social skills within any job environ, and I'm working through it (even though some things don't come easy to me). The university also has peppered in varying courses to improve student's abilities.

I hope I practice and obtain the skillset.

Thanks for writing. While I agree with your answer, I ask of a niche because I want to tunnel my job opportunities and expectations. If I'm aware of what's in store for me, and I'm stoked about it, I will be more likely to put in more effort in learning and actually doing the job.

Anyway, as you said, there's still much time left, and I'll begin with small steps: C, DSA, OS, etc., and hope my niche finds me.
