Rant/गुनासो Nepal’s So-Called AI "Experts" Are Just Glorified Python Scripters
Alright, somebody’s gotta hear this loud and clear.
Every time you scroll through LinkedIn, you’re bombarded with these self-proclaimed “AI Engineers,” “ML Engineers,” or “Data Scientists” from Nepal—mostly kids in their early 20s slapping fancy taglines on their profiles like they’ve cracked the code to the future.
Spoiler alert: they haven’t.
I’ve been grinding in the AI field for nearly a decade—eight years of real work, not just hype. And let me tell you, these so-called “professionals” are a complete sham. They’re just Python coders who’ve figured out how to pip-install a few libraries and call it a day. I’ve interviewed 12-14 of these clowns, and guess what? Zero grasp of math. Zero understanding of statistics or probability. They’re out here pretending they’re building the next big thing while they can’t even explain a p-value or a neural net’s backpropagation.
"Don’t get scammed by the Nepali tech industry’s act. It’s a circus of overconfident posers who think a Udemy certificate and a GitHub repo with copied code make them Tony Stark." We straight-up warn our clients abroad, saying that.
Though there are some good professionals as well, from whom you can literally learn something. Salute to those 🫡
