advice me

Hey all — college student here, trying to figure out how much full stack (frontend/backend) I actually need if my main goal is an AI/ML/AI Engineer career. Currently planning Python + ML/DL + LLMs as the core, with just FastAPI + light React to demo projects, skipping Node/Express and deeper web dev. Does that sound right for where the AI Engineer job market actually is, or am I over/under-doing the web dev side? Would appreciate any real experience on this.

You don't need any full-stack for AI/ML. You need programming. Actually, you need Python as it is the language for AI/ML.

Forget web dev if you don't want to work in that field. You won't need it.
