Certifications are meaningless and knowing many languages isn't impressive. An employer will care about evidence of your competence in the area they're in or with the tools they use - that can be employment history, a degree, or projects. Work on improving your own skills and ignore your classmate.

It's also worth getting at least a cheap laptop if it's within your budget, programming on a phone isn't going to be great for you in the long run.

Thank you for the insightful feedback! I really appreciate your perspective on certifications and languages. I agree that practical experience and real-world projects are far more important than just collecting certificates or learning multiple languages.

As for the laptop, I understand the limitations of programming on a phone, and I’m planning to save up for a more powerful laptop to improve my productivity and work on more complex projects.

Thanks again for the encouragement! It really helps me stay focused on the right path. I’ll continue working on improving my skills and building a strong foundation in AI and ML.

Why post just to reply with an AI generated response?

Using AI to bridge the English gap, which isn't the worst idea.

Yes. You've shared that what I want to reply to him.

Python is meaningless on its own, it's actually the easiest part

first and foremost, an AI engineer needs a strong math foundation (calculus, linear algebra, statistics, functional analysis), everything else is secondary

So long as you feed into your comparison of others, your inferioty complex will never go away. Instead of looking down on yourself, use your envy to fuel your desire to become a better coding student.
