One biggest thing I would highlight anyone to learn from Harkirat is not coding or tech, but ability to do research, or LEARNING how to LEARN. Rest tech stack, coding styles, AIs will come and go. If you have the ability to navigate through new information and get actionable outcomes, you will do well. Coding is something you will do only for few years, then later you will be dealing with people only. I have seen Harkirat do these research work really well. That is something to emulate.

[@niteshkhanna690]

Tech stack matlab?

[@noobnessmee]

If we are only going to code for a few years, why learn to code? Do MBA and think long term.

[@wreckball2315]

@@noobnessmee You will be coding minimally even when you become Software Architect/Principal engineer or Engineering Manager/ Director/ VP of engineering. A lot of these profiles do not necessarily require MBA. Coding is something that can be done greatly by junior and mid level engineers. But as you grow, your work will revolve around aligning teams. As a Principal Engineer and Architect, you will not only think about the architecture and scalability, but you will need to align teams and techies anf even OTHER ARCHITECTS that will eventually work on the architecture. As a very senior engineer, you will so engrossed in your higher level work, coding time will be a luxury. And honestly, you will be too costly for the company to code. A mid level engineer can code, so why would company want an architect, who might be 3x to 4x costlier, work on the same stuff? As an architect, you will be mentoring teams and techies as well. Coding yourself, you will be snatching an opportunity from your techies to grow. Id like to put architect role like a Coach of a team. You will guide your juniors, but eventually it is them who have to go and play (and code). This human interaction is one of the most underrated thing in tech. And this generally does not require MBA.

[@pramodbiradar89]

It's not about coding in the future..AI will do..Focus more on solving the problems in different approaches by justifying business use cases. This is something no one will teach you.. It's the exposure you just get in the career journey ASAP to survive in the future..

[@acejesus]

AI will come and come on your face and go!

[@Harsh-fd4ml]

Sir what about Job opportunities for java developer and sring boot

[@permindersingh4844]

7:31 Thank you for your guidance. I've realized that participating in GSoC has become quite competitive. It's no longer solely about being knowledgeable; rather, it's about who has contributed the most. Many individuals who have dedicated themselves to multiple months of consistent contributions are the ones selected. Starting a new project, contributing extensively, and then striving to stand out can be emotionally taxing. It's a harsh reality of GSoC that it shouldn't be viewed solely as a competition. And Yes, in 2015 it would have been less competitive compared to 2024 haha. At last thanks for your motivation tho. My friends are calling me 'Harkirat 2.0' after watching this. It's motivating me to put my head down, work hard, and strive for the best. I'm determined to apply for GSoC this year. Thanks :)

[@sujal9220]

Hey man I'm starting from extreme basics, if you could lend me some of your time will it be okay for me to ask you few basic questions for my learning sake because I am kind of conflicted to what to do for my career. I can text you on some other platform if you don't mind.

[@ahmadfaraz9279]

I use your videos for motivation to keep coding despite earning bare minimum as a Backend Dev Trainee. Will surely make it to 100K in sometime.

[@Sirbikingviking]

What strategy did you follow to find a trainee level job?

[@CodingPhase]

Very good information ℹ️ agreed 100%

[@darkknight0972]

Thank you Harkirat bhai for this video

[@gaurav_0369]

The Buzz lightyear action figure in the background is gaining my attention, By the I think the true value in open source is when you're into deep tech, which then again goes into that whole where news Markets are being created

outro was so good

[@frstchan]

Today I learned that 1 day is enough to call something "research".

[@yashjain_1006]

you always encourage to read codebases of different projects. can you make a vid on suggesting different codebases that one should read and understand , depending the his/her level. like for an intermediate cohort guy should read certain projects codebases, beginner can start from certain codebases, like that because i got overwhelmed when i started reading an opensource project codebase

Lets start making hand dirty on web3 , will do little ai also Thnx harkirat for insight and depth analysis 😊

[@pragyanshsharma9522]

very good outro

[@i_mnaftali2743]

2022-23 was the market of Web3, 2024-25 - AI + Web3 , 2025-2027- AI+Web3 (sus) + AR/VR based developments

[@hemanfree4710]

AR VR is the hardware thing what will be the soft skill in it and I think gen AI and LLM also add for recent technologies

[@mayank2140]

Will web3 remain relevant in future??

[@shivamswaraj1086]

Thank you Sir

[@Hcihcip]

The thing that you made clear,that we should find some not very popular niche, this is what I felt recently too,jis bhi field m I delve into,almost everyone around me is into it be it JEE,DSAor web dev

[@keshavbornon2000]

16:01 I had a spiderman meme moment 😂 Great video as always Harkirat, you're insights are truly a blessing for us all. Great work, God bless you homie 🙏

[@soumyabratasamanta6712]

You are the only one who keeps me motivated everytime..... And sir is there any update about next cohort like the ongoing cohort???

[@kapiljat-dj1rl]

In the video, you mentioned two future prospects: LLM and T5. I was familiar with LLM, but when I researched T5, I found two results: 1. T5 is a web development framework representing "Typical, Tasteful, Testable, and Timeless" principles. 2. Text-to-Text Transfer Transformers. Do they refer to the same thing or are they different?

[@alphacoder3822]

Hi harkirat could you please make a video on how you manage stress and anxiety. It'd really help people like me, Im a 2 YOE Android dev, but anxiety takes the better of me and I'm not able to focus. Your bits might help. Thank you

[@prakharsinha4145]

How do you maintain your posture while coding for long hours?

[@gaurav_0369]

The ending got me emotional

[@imravijadav]

How to stay updated about funding announcements and new trends?? How to keep an eye on the ongoing news regarding this??

[@mukulsinghbisht2434]

[@abhinavbelani6156]

How to keep eye on fundings ? Is there any specific handles/accounts that we should follow?

[@abhisekbiswas6149]

hi Harkirat ,I have been following your video for a long time, its so amazing that what ever you say are actually to the point. No useless talks... I wanna ask something that i have done a graduation in civil engineering and presently working as a fullstack web dev and quite interested and fascinated with AI and its recent development. So can you guide how a dev like me can use webdev and ai and work or any such path ....or completely do a transition in ai

[@krishnamohan1751]

Harkirat please make video on AI/ML. And also something for freshers , college going students for internship and jobs. Thanks

[@shambavib9487]

[@mrdeath4446]

Harkirat bro, what about AR VR ig its gonna boom, since Apple vision pro got released, other companies will start making the cheaper versions of it which would require some devlopers for it

[@shahidshah6290]

sir , please make a video on hfts firms which skills are required , do they hire only from iits

[@random-xl3zm]

Summary : 1. no. of jobs u see getting laid is smaller then real 2. Go the extra mile dont be the bare minimum 3. On the point of stability i disagree cuz its ur project and dependency that matter not ur salary, so run after gaining dependency 4. Get internship for below wage pay but not the unpaid ones 5. Whenever special knowledge bcms general move on 6.keep a eye for seeing the new market trends which area is getting on rise 7. Good news there many upcoming companies which dont want phds they want problem solver in web3 and ai

[@bhupeshthakur9109]

thank you for the guidance. i wanted to know if learning golang would worth for AI stuff? or i need rust or python?

[@saptathirtachoudhury4158]

I would like to take Web3 because I like development part 😃

Hi Harkirat, I am a data Engineer with 9 years of work experience (PL/SQL, ETL tools, Snowflake and other database). I have always been working for Service based companies and after seeing your videos learnt we can earn way more by remote jobs. Can you please suggest me best ways to find a remote job for US companies.

[@alexhondo_01]

[@carper6905]

Please make a video on "Web 3".

[@umairhusain4056]

good video.

[@TheNeel555]

All things aside, Actual truth is IT industry is overflowing and over saturated after covid. Everyone saw the opportunity during the lockdown and now everyone is in the monkey race to get the IT job and do remote work. In 2021, major companies have over hired people with retarded packages compare to their experience and skills. and the result is now you're seeing. Companies also made tremendous profit during those time and after that they're now restructuring their whole staff (firing at senior positions, employees with huge packages and unallocated staff). And also there's lack of new projects from the overseas due to recession. situation will get better gradually but it will take sometimes.

[@harshrawlani6793]

Hi Harkirat Can you also talk about how to switch fields for experienced professionals. Ie If I am working in Sales for 2 years and I want to switch to AI/Web3 then how to do it besides contributing to open source?

[@TanInVan]

Just an FYI for anyone whos trying not to get fired. Working harder wont get you NOT fired. Being in a subproject that generates little value will. This is a simple concept, if you want to actually work hard, work hard in getting into a subproject that is high value. Other than that, cruise. This is a hyper captialistic market, and bootstraps dont apply anymore, its not 1996

[@abhishekpolicepatil2829]

Hey harkirat, Great video with so much valuable inputs and information. Quick question,for a full stack dev, who is new to web3 space, what would be the best resource/material to start learning and building things with web3? Same goes to ai. Any inputs will be helpful 🙂
