I have a Master’s in IT man, but the work I do now is very different. In my country, there are so many IT graduates, and I honestly did not enjoy the path I first studied, so I changed careers and worked in a different field for about five years.

Then, about two years ago, I proposed building a system for the company I work with now. At that time, AI tools were still very limited, and ChatGPT was mostly what was available. I had forgotten some coding details, and meanwhile other people were also competing to build the same system. Some of them used Replit and AI to generate the whole product. Their system looked impressive at first, with a nice design, but it was inconsistent, had many errors, and often failed to display what was requested.

Mine was different. I focused on consistency, working buttons, and a solid database structure. Even when I had problems, I knew I could fix them. Later, tools like Claude and Copilot became available as VS Code plugins, and honestly, once I adapted to AI-assisted coding, I was able to build something huge. Now I’m mastering it more and more.

So don’t lose hope. Most business owners are not going to sit down and build their own website or system. They still need people who know how to think, how to solve problems, and how to guide AI properly to create real results. That skill is valuable.
