Kritrima Prajna skill that every student must know


🔹 Core Skills (Still Mandatory – Baseline Expectations)

These are no longer differentiators, but minimum requirements:

  1. Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA)

    • Time–space tradeoff analysis

    • Problem-solving approach (not just final code)

  2. System Design Fundamentals

    • Scalable architecture

    • Component interaction and bottleneck analysis

  3. Debugging Skills

    • Identifying logical and runtime errors

    • Validating AI-generated code (AI often makes logic mistakes)

🔹 AI-Era Differentiator Skills (New Expectations)

These skills separate strong candidates from average ones:

  1. Prompt Engineering

    • Writing effective prompts to guide AI tools

    • Refining prompts for better code, tests, and explanations

  2. AI-Assisted Coding

    • Using AI for boilerplate code

    • Accelerating development without blindly trusting output

  3. AI-Assisted Debugging

    • Using AI to trace errors in large codebases

    • Asking the right questions to AI for root-cause analysis

  4. Error Handling & Validation

    • Detecting hallucinations or incorrect assumptions by AI

    • Verifying correctness, edge cases, and constraints

  5. Engineering Judgment with AI

    • Knowing when to use AI vs when traditional coding is better

    • Combining human reasoning with AI suggestions effectively

🔹 Advanced System & AI Integration Skills

Increasingly tested in system design interviews:

  1. Integrating AI into Existing Systems

    • Adding AI features into real-world workflows

    • API-based model integration

  2. Model Lifecycle Management

  • Versioning models

  • Monitoring performance and drift

  • Updating or rolling back models

  1. Trade-off Analysis for AI Systems

  • Cost vs performance

  • Reliability vs speed

  • Scalability vs complexity

🔹 Interview-Specific Practical Skills

Now commonly expected in interviews:

  1. Using AI During Live Coding

  • Efficient collaboration with AI tools

  • Demonstrating reasoning, not copy-paste coding

  1. Rapid Feature Delivery

  • Building or extending a feature in a short time (≈1 hour)

  • Managing unfamiliar codebases with AI support

🔹 Key Mindset Shift (Most Important)

  1. AI as a Co-Engineer, Not a Crutch

  • AI handles repetitive tasks

  • Engineers focus on:

    • Business logic

    • System architecture

    • Decision-making

    • Quality assurance

🔑 One-Line Summary

In the AI era, companies expect engineers who can think deeply, design systems intelligently, and use AI tools strategically—not just code well.

  Human Adoption to Technology: From Early Adopters to Laggards 1. Early Adopters – The Trendsetters Early adopters are the visionaries. They may not invent the technology, but they are the first to see its potential and integrate it into their lives or businesses. These are the people who lined up outside stores for the first iPhone or started experimenting with ChatGPT when AI tools were just gaining attention. Their willingness to take risks sets the tone for wider acceptance. Importantly, they influence others—friends, colleagues, and society—by showcasing the possibilities of new tools. 2. Early Majority – The Practical Embracers The early majority waits until a technology proves useful and reliable. They are not as adventurous as early adopters, but they are curious and open-minded. This group looks for case studies, reviews, and success stories before taking the plunge. For instance, when online shopping platforms like Amazon and Flipkart became secure and user-frien...

What Are We Really Feeding Our Minds? A Wake-Up Call for Indian Youth In the age of social media, trends rule our screens and, slowly, our minds. Scroll through any platform and you’ll see what truly captures the attention of the Indian youth: food reels, cinema gossip, sports banter, and, not to forget, the ever-growing obsession with glamour and sex appeal. Let’s face a hard truth: If a celebrity removes her chappal at the airport, it grabs millions of views in minutes. But a high-quality video explaining a powerful scientific concept or a motivational lecture from a renowned educator? Struggles to get even a few hundred likes. Why does this matter? Because what we consume shapes who we become. And while there’s nothing wrong with enjoying entertainment, food, or sports — it becomes dangerous when that’s all we focus on. Constant consumption of surface-level content trains our minds to seek instant gratification, leaving little room for deep thinking, curiosity, or personal growth...

Google Creates a Digital Fruit Fly That Thinks, Moves, and Sees Like the Real Thing In a stunning leap forward for both artificial intelligence and biology, Google has developed a fully digital fruit fly—a virtual insect that lives inside a computer and behaves just like its real-world counterpart. This digital creation walks, flies, sees, and responds to its environment with lifelike precision. The journey began with a meticulous reconstruction of a fruit fly’s body using Mojo, a powerful physics simulator. The result was a highly detailed 3D model that could mimic the fly's physical movements. But a body alone doesn’t make a fly—it needed a brain. To create one, Google's team collected massive volumes of video footage of real fruit flies in motion. They used this data to train a specialized AI model that learned to replicate the complex behaviors of a fly—walking across surfaces, making sudden mid-air turns, and adjusting flight speed with astonishing realism. Once this AI br...
