Half my batch is pivoting to AI/ML. A year into web dev, I can't tell if I'm being stubborn or sensible.

Every second post is someone finishing an LLM course and landing something. Meanwhile I'm finally getting decent at backend work and it feels like the wrong decade to be writing CRUD. Is this an actual shift or the same cycle we all watched with blockchain? If you did move across, what did you genuinely need day to day, the math or just being able to wire APIs together sensibly?
