GuestFebruary 26, 2026 at 12:36 pmAI is definitely the flavor of the week and my recommendation would be too learn the new AI tools better than the average aspirant. Claude code is a bit of a ways from replacing full blown web devs but… it honestly doesn’t feel that far. Learning the AI tools now will likely make you more appealing in the medium term skills wise and better positioned long term for the upheaval the web industry is likely to experience.
SEO is an EXCELLENT complimentary skill to other marketing and web skills to have so it will go along well with whatever you choose.
