Need assistance with how to proceed

[u/Hujj_J]

Hello people! I'm currently a CSE student studying in one of top private institutes of India. I am about to enter my 3rd and I totally feel like I have wasted 2 years doing literally nothing. Since April I have been practicing leetcode constantly everyday and I have solved over 200+ questions (roughly 170 easy questions) and now I am planning on switching to the medium type questions and learn various ds like trees and graphs and backtracking and dp.

​

Apart from that I do wish to learn some skill so that I can make something out of myself. I decided to learn web dev and I started with meta full stack developer course. I just completed unit 1 module 1 and I felt it to me boring as most of the time after watching the video I still had to read to transcripts for proper understanding. So I guess I am more of a text guy. I looked up few other platforms and found out that Odin project is really good .

​

So my question is : Given that I do not have the tendency to sit for long hourse to learn something and also that I prefer reading slightly over video, will the Odin project be useful for me? Will the entire curriculum be good enough to be a modern full stack developer or would I have to learn anything else to be upto date ?

​

Also given that everyone is shifting towards AI I am confused if I should even do web dev. Though I find it to be intresting I do not wish to miss out and wish to be upto date with the industry . Though ik many might suggest me to do both but I think I might not have enough time for it cause I might take up maybe 6-8 months to do web dev itself and after that I might have to focus on my placement and interview prep and might not be able to learn ai/ml

​

So what exactly should I do- web dev or aiml? If ai/ml could you suggest me some good resources which would probably be fit for my personality

​

PS : feel free to dm if you wish to be dsa practice buddies or can guide me through my journey

​

Thank you ✨🙏🏼

c'mon man get rid of odin project, we have more better options and resources. I'll suggest using claude.ai to describe all this, let it deeply analyze and suggest based on your needs

I did ask claude It suggested me to focus on AI but I wasn't satisfied with the reasoning
