India is a tech leader: Millions use UPI, a digital payment app, daily. We help other countries with technology too. The internet is everywhere in India - we even watch cricket matches online. There are challenges with this growth, but we're working on them.

Let's explore them

 

1. Methodologies for Agile DevOps

In the past, building software was like a long race. Now, it's more like running in short bursts. This is called Agile development. Big tasks are broken down into smaller ones and finished quickly. This is a great time to learn Agile if you're new to coding. You can also learn tools like Scrum, Kanban, and Jira to be prepared for real-world projects.

 

2. Originality

Creativity is anything outside of grammar, rules, and algorithms, which is what coding is all about. For certain issues, creative problem-solving and the use of code are necessary. Creativity can only be fostered; coding abilities can only be improved.

 

3. Readiness for Gen AI

Even Batman needs a Robin! Coders can benefit from a sidekick too, called Gen AI. Gen AI helps you code by suggesting improvements, fixing errors, and giving you new ideas. It's like magic for writer's block! Gen AI helps you see the bigger picture and write better code. Students, this is a must-learn! Gen AI can make you a coding superhero.

 

4. Emotional Intelligence And Empathy

Money transfer apps are everywhere, but the best ones are easy for everyone to use. Think about people in rural areas, not just cities. The app should be super simple. To do that, we need to understand people's lives (that's empathy). If it's confusing, no one will use it.

It makes sense that with so many characteristics and features at play, product creation is really just half code and half us being regular people. A coder thrives in this equilibrium, therefore if you want to succeed as well as thrive, work on developing these talents right now.
Wishing you luck!
