If I had 6 months to become an Agentic AI Engineer. I'd do this. Stage 1: Python Async Foundations asyncio, FastAPI, event-driven architecture, error handling, API integration patterns. Stage 2: LLM Fundamentals for Agents Context management, model routing, token economics, latency tradeoffs, failure modes. Stage 3: Tool Calling Structured Outputs Pydantic validation, function calling schemas, error recovery, dynamic tool discovery. Stage 4: Memory State Management Short-term buffers, long-term vector recall, context compression, cross-session sync. Stage 5: Single Agent Workflows ReAct loops, plan-and-execute, self-reflection, iteration limits, graceful degradation. Stage 6: Multi-Agent Orchestration LangGraph/CrewAI, supervisor patterns, message passing, conflict resolution, handoffs. Stage 7: Human-in-the-Loop Systems Uncertainty detection, approval gates, audit trails, resume logic, intervention points. Stage 8: Evaluation Quality Assurance Automated eval harnesses, LLM-as-a-judge, regression testing, hallucination metrics. Stage 9: Observability Tracing Distributed tracing (LangSmith/Arize), cost dashboards, latency monitoring, alerting. Stage 10: Security Guardrails Prompt injection defense, output filtering, PII redaction, sandboxed execution, compliance. Stage 11: Production Deployment vLLM/SGLang, Kubernetes scaling, CI/CD for agents, canary releases, rollback strategies. Stage 12: Open Source Portfolio Ship autonomous agents publicly, write architecture docs, record demos, contribute to libs. Most people stay stuck watching tutorials. Builders get hired.

Gl ski, I learnt FastAPI but left it, would prolly start again then solidity and Blockchain tek

and it's completely source agnostic the exact same local engine runs over a dozen real github repos, flask, fastapi, langchain, and live apache jira backlogs, all at the same time there's no custom parser bolted on for each one, nothing is locked to a single project or a single too prs, commits, issues, review threads, it doesn't care where the data lives or what shape it arrived in and once everything is ingested the source stops mattering, a jira ticket and the github pr that closed it land in the same graph as two connected nodes so the question you ask stays identical whether you're tracing inside one repo or jumping clean across systems, underneath it's all just nodes and links

FastAPI vs Actix-Web vs Axum: I Built the Same API in Python and Rust — The Results Broke My Heart… by Ramesh Kannan s medium.com/p/fastapi-vs-acti…

FastAPI vs Actix-Web vs Axum: I Built the Same API in Python and Rust — The Results Broke My Heart… by Ramesh Kannan s medium.com/p/fastapi-vs-acti…

Well I planned on starting small with data. Do the most popular tickers only- and do an hourly refresh or even less than that- and offer it to people- you could provide via database copy, or whatever FASTAPI and over time- word will get out- because all the providers suck as you know- I knew that if I got involved socially it would only be a matter of time before I met someone wanting option greeks/quotes and just start small and wing it and before you know you're running on AWS with hundreds or thousands of customer. But that is boring work- not motivating enough for me. I need the challenge especially at my age- it is hard to keep the pace- challenge is about the only thing that motivates me anymore- money- not even close. I was months behind on timesheets to get paid in the IT industry (and the admins hated me). I figured it would take a few years to ramp up - may change my mind one day but too much else (fun) going on. If you wanted to- I'd help- not sure I have energy to lead something like that- as a team effort- maybe. I am pretty hopeful about the future- and wasn't as much until I started meeting people on here- this is how things happen-
