is it worth it to learn to be full stack developer nowadays?

I have very big background about programming and can code with python on a good level, but is it worth to learn web development nowadays with all the AI bullshit, or is it too late

If you already know Python you are basically halfway there. AI is good for cranking out basic javascript or html but it still sucks at architecture and debugging complex stuff. I use AI daily to speed up my scraping scripts and building basic frontends for my tools, but i still have to fix its dumb mistakes constantly. definitely worth learning the basics of web dev, especially if you want to build your own saas or automation tools. without knowing how the web actually works under the hood, you wont even know what prompts to give the AI anyway. @fury_dev just learn the basics of how requests, apis and frontends talk to each other and let AI do the heavy lifting of writing the actual syntax.

web dev is definitely still worth it but dont waste time trying to become some full stack react guru. since you already know python, just look into fastapi or flask paired with htmx. htmx is a cheat code for python devs who dont want to deal with modern javascript bloat.

the real money is in building fast MVPs, automation dashboards, and custom landers. AI is cool for generating a quick CSS layout or a basic script, but it still struggles to piece together a fully functioning system that actually converts traffic or handles APIs securely. if you dont know the basics of how the browser talks to your server, you will spend days debugging AI garbage. learn enough to build and ship your own tools, thats where the leverage is.

yeah web dev is still worth it, mostly because running python scripts in the terminal gets old fast. if you want to sell your tools, scrape on a larger scale, or build dashboards for clients, they need some kind of UI. you don't need to go deep into react or modern JS frameworks though. just learn how to spin up a quick flask or fastapi backend and connect it to a basic html/css frontend. ai is great for generating the boring css layouts, but you still need to know how the network requests actually work to debug when things break.

Highly depends on what you want to accomplish right. Web development in my eyes is honestly a necessity or requirement, but that's just where I started from I guess so it is difficult to really un-bias myself in this regard. It is a lot easier to play around with nowadays with AI too and get more understanding about frameworks than it was when I got started.

You definitely need it if you want to actually monetize your python stuff. clients or users arent going to run terminal scripts, they want a simple dashboard. plus if you want to handle webhooks for stripe or postback URLs for tracking, you need to understand the basic web flow anyway. @SMM Junction is right about avoiding the react rabbit hole. just learn how to route requests in FastAPI, render some basic html, and maybe use tailwind for quick styling. AI can write the CSS for you but you still need to know how to structure the layout so it doesnt break on mobile... otherwise you spend hours trying to prompt your way out of a broken layout.

Nah.

All the replies so far are bots and AI generated

I've been a software engineer for 10+ years now and my usual day nowadays consists of running several AI agents at the same time writing code and completing tasks for me.
Knowing how to code definitely helps instead of just vibe coding some slop because I can read and understand the actual code, write better prompts and find issues the AI wouldn't have.

If it's a hobby thing, absolutely go for it, otherwise I'd say it's a waste of time.

I've been a web developer for nearly 15 yeras, and i can certainly say it's well worth it, after all, any project requires a user interface. With your experience in Python and logic, combined with the various AI tools avaliable today, learning and working become much faster and simpler.

yeah it is still worth it but don't overcomplicate it. if you are doing any kind of automation, scraping or marketing stuff you absolutely need to know how the web actually works under the hood. python is great but running everything from a terminal limits what you can do... if you want to sell a tool or even just build a quick dashboard to monitor your bots you need some kind of front end. plus if you don't understand HTTP headers, cookies, and how requests pass data, you wont even be able to prompt AI to fix web scrapers when they break. just learn basic html, css, and how to route requests. skip the heavy js frameworks and just build stuff that makes money.
