Shifting from Laravel to Python and AI... a new step and a challenge I have been looking forward to for a long time! π
After an excellent journey in the world of PHP Laravel, building robust APIs, and designing systems that withstand heavy traffic, it is time for the next big leap. π―
I have decided to focus entirely on Python in the coming period, diving headfirst into the world of AI and Agentic Workflows! ππ§
This decision did not come out of nowhere. Python today is the core engine behind the artificial intelligence revolution we are living in. To build truly intelligent applications, it is no longer just about having a working model; it is about merging the mindset of a Backend developer (who thinks about scale, performance, and data architecture) with Python's AI capabilities. This fusion opens up entirely new horizons for building integrated, smart solutions.
The journey has already begun, and as always, I am not just announcing itβI will share the process with you step-by-step: * **Technical challenges** I face while shifting my mindset from Laravel to FastAPI, Django, and Python in general. * **Tricks and best practices** in AI Engineering. * **Real code and practical projects** where we experiment with LLMs and AI Agents together.
Since starting right is half the battle, I need your advice and experience π€: 1. For Agentic AI and LLMs, do you recommend out-of-the-box frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex, or should I focus on Native APIs and building RAG from scratch first? 2. What is the biggest trap or red flag you faced when you first entered the AI domain that you wish someone had warned you about?
Share your thoughts in the comments, and let's build the future together! πͺ
