What am I learning to stay relevant in programming in 2025, and why? With the introduction of AI, the landscape is shifting, and my thoughts on what to know have been changing. In this video, I will share what I plan to focus on and describe my reasons. Chapter below 👇
Chapters
04:16 Pursue programming despite job market challenges, leverage AI for efficiency, and focus on enhancing relevant web development and Python skills that will set you up for future opportunities.
07:00 The key areas that I will focus on for 2025, python, AI and deployment strategies.
08:42 Why I am learning Python in 2025.
11:27 Learn how to use AI for automation and application development in order to stay competitive in the job market. Learning tools like, Langchain, Cursor, v0 and n8n for automation.
15:42 Why I am learning Langchain.
17:31 Focusing on using retrieval augmentation generation for AI (RAG) to build data aware applications with AI without the need to fine tune models.
21:01 Focusing on Docker, personal VPS deployment, and AWS certification by 2025 to improve application development and cloud solutions understanding.
23:10 Why I make content and it is not what you think.
Key Takeaways:
🤖 Focus on AI automation in 2025 to improve workflows, automate monotonous tasks, and create business solutions that free up time for clients.
🐍 Learn Python as it's versatile for both web development and interacting with AI applications like LLMs.
🔄 Utilize RAG systems (retrieval augmentation generation) to create AI chat models with access to your data for more realistic interactions.
Development Tools and Techniques
🚀 Use tools like Cursor and Vzero for rapid prototyping with React to build applications quickly.
⛓️ Start with OpenAI API for quick prototyping, then transition to Langchain for creating flexible AI workflows that can interchange different models.
🐳 Learn Docker and containerization, especially when using Strapi, for improved deployment capabilities.
Deployment and Scaling
📈 Prioritize learning about deployment and scaling applications to many users, as it's a crucial skill for programmers.
☁️ Understand the basics of VPS and deploying applications through providers like Digital Ocean.
🏆 Obtain an AWS certification, starting with AWS Solutions Architect - Associate, to gain valuable knowledge of top 20 main services.
Hope you enjoyed this video. Thank you and I will see you in the next one.

Friday Night Hangout 8:00 PM CST. Its Friday night, I am single, so I might as well do some coding. Building a profile page in my LMS project built with Next.js 15 and Strapi 5.
- Watch me try to code
- Ask questions
- Share some thoughts and ideas
Streaming my progress as I learn to code by building apps with Next.js and Strapi.")
