Due to the advancements in AI and Agentic AI, software engineering has changed. With AI doing almost all the heavy lifting, SEs are more like architects or planners than devs.
I have 3+ years of full-stack experience leaning more towards the backend side; I used to build APIs and shit by hand. I don't know what backend is now anymore. What do you think backend development is all about in 2026 and beyond? What skills are working for you guys? How are you guys working at companies or freelancing as Backend Engineers in 2026? I'm really curious how AI has changed the roles.

I'm done with these fake influencers and HRs posting copy-pasted or AI bullshit on LinkedIn all day instead of doing their jobs.

I am 25M. Went back to grad school. I had 3+ years of Software Engineering experience before that. I resigned from my onsite job a year ago to pursue a masters

And now I see that due to AI traditional web dev skills are kinda outdated. If I had to start freelance again to pay bills and rent, what would I need to do?

Hello everyone,

I am a Master's student in DIGIT (Computer Science) at Sorbonne University, and I will start my third semester in September 2026.

I would like to do an Erasmus+ exchange at another partner university in Europe, but I have just started looking into this possibility. Do you know if it’s still possible to apply at this time (July), or are there late applications or cancellations?

If any of you have participated in an Erasmus+ exchange from Sorbonne University, I would also be interested in your feedback on the procedure and who to contact.

Thank you very much for your help!

Bonjour à tous,

Je suis étudiant en Master DIGIT (Informatique) à Sorbonne Université et je vais commencer mon troisième semestre en septembre 2026.

Je souhaiterais effectuer un échange Erasmus+ dans une autre université partenaire en Europe, mais je viens seulement de me renseigner sur cette possibilité. Savez-vous s'il est encore possible de postuler à cette période (juillet) ou existe-t-il des candidatures tardives ou des désistements ?

Si certains d'entre vous ont participé à un échange Erasmus+ depuis Sorbonne Université, je serais également intéressé par vos retours sur la procédure et les personnes à contacter.

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide !

I have 3yoe and am currently doing my Masters in Paris. I've been applying for jobs for almost a year now. I apply on the company's website directly or through indeed.

I regularly tweek my resume and get reviews to make sure the resume is up to the mark.

But after applying for a year now, I've got no interviews. What would you advise? How do I look for a job? What do I do?

I'm a software engineer looking to build something - maybe a product or solve a problem.

What's a problem you keep bumping into at work, in a hobby, anywhere, that feels like it could actually become a product? Doesn't need to be fully thought out. Even a rough "someone should really build X" is enough to start from.

Happy to dig into any idea that sparks something.

Last year, I left my full-time Software Engineering job to pursue a Master's in Paris, expecting to find a remote or freelance role along the way. Instead, I'm still unemployed, my Master's hasn't gone as planned, and I've completely lost my motivation.

I have around 3 years of Software Engineering experience, but I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong or how people are finding remote jobs in this market.

I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance from people who've been through this.
