🤔 Is learning full stack development in 2025 worth it ??
A soon-to-be cybersecurity graduate took to Reddit feeling lost and disappointed by the lack of entry-level cyber jobs and anxious about rumors that AI might wipe out junior full-stack dev roles. The thread turned into a supportive reality check: AI may change how devs work, but it’s not a total replacement. Users encouraged building real skills, specializing, and using AI as a tool, not fearing it. The consensus? It’s still worth learning full-stack, but don’t expect shortcuts. Discipline, direction, and continuous learning matter more than ever.

🏦Morgan Stanley Rolls Out DevGen.AI to Modernise Legacy Code
Morgan Stanley developed an in-house AI tool, named DevGen.AI, to modernize legacy code, a challenge existing commercial tools still struggle with. Built on OpenAI's models, it has reviewed 9 million lines of code and saved 280,000 developer hours. The tool translates outdated languages like Cobol into plain English specs, allowing devs to rewrite them in modern languages. While full code conversion still needs human input, this innovation significantly speeds up modernization and supports the firm’s broader AI strategy.
