Hi,

with all the AGI hype, I’m wondering what I might be focusing or studying for my career now. I work as a traditional sysadmin, and I have development studies too ( rusty but there ).

Is it worth at the current moment, learning any type of programming language ? I feel like in a year or so it might be completely useless. Ie python

I don’t want to transition into devops, but I was wondering to start on python as mentioned, docker, IaC, etc. And move into AI specialization like local llms, automation, etc.

What do you guys think ? What are you focusing on atm?
