Need some Advice.

I'd love some honest career advice from people who've been through this.

Over the past few months, I've realized that I genuinely enjoy software engineering much more than AI.

I originally leaned heavily into AI because it seemed like the direction everyone was moving toward. But trying to keep up with the constant pace of new models, tools, and frameworks started to feel exhausting. Instead of being excited, I often felt like I was always behind.

When I sit down and write code, though, it's completely different. I genuinely enjoy building things, solving problems, and improving my programming skills. It doesn't feel forced, it feels natural.

So now I'm considering making software engineering my primary focus instead of trying to build an identity around AI.

For those who have experience in the industry:

- Is it a mistake to pivot away from AI right now?

- Would you reposition your LinkedIn and personal brand around software engineering?

- Can someone still have a great career focusing primarily on software engineering while using AI as just another tool?

I'd really appreciate your perspectives because I'm trying to build a career around what I actually enjoy rather than what's currently trending.
