Stefan Mischook

Programming languages are just tools, and the real question for developers in 2026 isn't which language to learn but how to position yourself for the current wave of opportunity. Drawing on 30 years of experience, the author argues that fundamentals always matter, but the new leverage is the AI stack — frontier models, agentic implementations, and AI-augmented development workflows. Just as early web developers outpaced traditional thick-client developers in the 90s, today's early AI adopters will capture the most opportunity. The advice: master fundamentals first, then deeply learn the AI toolset rather than chasing specific frameworks or languages.
