There are broadly two kinds of hard skills: 1. Analytical / Problem-Solving Skills: These include mathematics, JEE-style problems, competitive programming, Olympiad questions, and research-oriented machine learning, etc. This category demands strong analytical ability and extensive practice. The skills are quantifiable. You can objectively say that person A is better than person B. That’s why most competitive exams use these skills to eliminate the crowd. 2. Applied / Engineering Skills: This category includes frontend and backend development, iOS and Android development, DevOps, cloud computing, and LLM application development. These don’t usually demand extreme analytical ability, but they do require time, consistency, and patience. This is why there is also almost no entry barrier here: if you put in enough work, you will see results, which may not be true in the first category. Both types of skills are valuable, just in different ways. Trying to rank one above the other usually doesn’t make much sense. They’re useful for different goals. There’s also a third category: soft skills. But since my 𝕏 account doesn’t really focus on those, I’m leaving them out of this discussion.
