89-year-old Japanese retiree, Tomiji Suzuki, defied traditional views of retirement to embrace the complex world of programming and use ChatGPT to improve his skills. He has developed 11 free iPhone apps to help his fellow seniors, including his latest: a slideshow of items to remember when leaving the house, from a wallet and hearing aids to patient registration cards. He was inspired to create “Outing Prep Voice Slide Show” after realising he had forgotten his dentures just before boarding a bullet train. To develop the app, Suzuki asked ChatGPT approximately 1,000 coding-related questions. He hails ChatGPT as a “great teacher” and has even published a book on using it as a programming mentor.

Coding is a process that uses a programming language to create new computer software, websites and apps. Software engineers are responsible for writing and maintaining the code that powers a software application. This includes programming in languages such as Java, Python or C++, as well as using frameworks and libraries to speed up development.

To become a software engineer, you should have a B.Tech. in Computer Science. Eligibility is 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Selection is through entrance examination. This path provides a broad education in computer science concepts, programming languages, and software development methodologies, and can prepare you for entry-level software engineering positions.
