Let’s go for 400.

Y’all I am glad to have you all. let’s see if we can do a short s.m.a to get to know each other.

You’re welcome to ask any questions anonymously here and I will be answering them later.

ድንኳን ሰበራ 😅

Yo .. eid is great here.

got a few questions here. I will be answering them one by one today

the questions are kinda common ones. so I grouped them in a way I can address all at once. here are the first set of questions. my answer will follow...

my full name is Abdulfetah Yishak. I go by Abdu, like every person whose name starts with Abdu… deep intro: I am 6 feets long and 87 kg (before ramadan). 23 years old (looks way older tho). I think this deep is enough :)

I am a last-year student at AAiT, electrical and computer engineering (computer stream). I am a software developer by profession. I specialize in backend development.

I am currently out of work because I left from them due to ramadan and umra.

how much I make per month? that’s very unpredictable. I could make way more one month and make none the next month. I am a freelancer, so I can’t give a fixed number. I make enough for my spending tho.

it has always been my dream to become an engineer since I was a child because of my dad, but I never thought I would sit down and write code. when I was in high school, my plan was to be an electrical engineer. I never touched arduino and stuff like that, but I loved physics and math back then—electromagnetism, electrostatics… it has always been interesting to me.

but after I joined campus, I realized that software engineering has more opportunities and is better paying compared to other jobs. also, I don’t think I am smart enough to handle hardcore engineering. but I chose electrical and computer engineering so I could somehow end up having knowledge from both domains while still getting a well-paying job from the software side. that’s how I became a software developer.

about the money, for my life on campus, I think the money I am making is fair enough. I don’t have an iphone 17 pro max or go to desert safari, but at least I am paying for whatever an average person would afford. so I would say for now I am getting enough. but for life after graduation, I doubt it. I need to find a way to make way more money.

me and arsenal are like a mother and child. we may quarrel, but that will never last long. I have said many times that I am done with arsenal, but I always get back to it. we bottled the league 3 consecutive times. I have seen the worst arsenal—the mustafi, koscielny arsenal. but what can I do? I didn’t start supporting arsenal for trophies. in fact, I have never seen arsenal win a big trophy like the EPL in my lifetime. I support arsenal because they played good football during the wenger era. saying all this to say that yes, I am back to arsenal, and we are gonna win our first cup of the year tomorrow.

will get back to the answers after Asr.

If I understood the question correctly, it’s about whether AI will abandon the software industry.

YouTube did let everyone make and post a video, but it didn’t close the business of TV stations. iPhones made you take good pictures, but they didn’t let everyone become a photographer. AI is there to help you code, but it won’t make everyone a coder. A doctor using AI to diagnose patients and an ordinary person using AI to diagnose is not the same. The same thing applies to software developers.

What I would say is that the dynamics of jobs are changing. Instead of actual coding, training an AI to code is becoming more lucrative. So you can become an AI trainer and make tons of USD instead of becoming a developer. Therefore, I wouldn’t say the field will be totally abandoned; rather, it will change or evolve, just like how a 1950 banker has changed compared to today’s banker
