Agent skills are saturated—go deeper into MLOps, inference engineering, RL
kmeanskaran · x · 2026-10-06
The author observes that everyone now knows agents, LangChain, and MCP—job posts treat them as the bare minimum, yet people still can't land roles. Companies lump AI, ML and data together, and homogeneous skills lose scarcity value. Advice: go deeper into niches—MLOps and deployment, platforms like Databricks/GCP/AWS, LLM and inference engineering, RL, and system optimization. ML backgrounds have a stable learning curve here; one niche plus expertise brings real opportunities.
