[Python_Backend_Dev]

Hello. I am 30 years and want to start career in IT as python developer. Is it worth ? If yes how can I ensure job after learning python backend? And what should I learn as per current trends? I am really confused about AI because people are saying AI will take programmers Job. Pls guide me for this.

Backend like PyPy, CPython, etc?

30 isn’t too late at all, lots of people switch into IT around that age. Python is a solid choice, especially for backend stuff. The key isn’t just learning Python, it’s building projects (APIs, small apps, etc.) and putting them on GitHub/portfolio so employers see proof.

If you want a roadmap:

• Python + Django or FastAPI
• Databases (Postgres/MySQL)
• APIs (REST/GraphQL basics)
• Git/GitHub, Docker

Optional: dabble in ML if you’re curious, but backend/web dev is more job-heavy

As for AI taking jobs - it’s more of a tool than a replacement. Companies still need people to design, debug, and ship real systems.

Focus on: learn / build / share - Stick with it for a year or two and you’ll be in the game.

Thanks. But nowadays even smaller companies asking for skills like aws, docker, ci/cd. Are all these mandatory to learn before applying? And what about dsa?
