The core point here is that AI is a massive thing (at the moment) so it's probably a good idea to understand it deeply. Not sure why people are so worked up about it.
That's why. That future is uncertain. So why gamble your future on something that's popular at the moment for something that could change completely a year later?
I did a hackathon this year. I used to do them 10 years ago when I was a student and the biggest difference is the intention of the hackathon. 10 years ago, it was all about having fun and learning some new and cool (it was where I learned NodeJS) but today, the sentiment is all about "what can GTM tomorrow?" or "what would VCs want to fund?"
I can't say I found the Hackathon I did particularly fun. Nothing thrilling about making Claude do things while drinking the free coke.
A PR quality gate which grills me to make sure I understand the code changes I am making before I merge. I have been working on an AI app which deals with vulnerable users lest I ruin the experience for my customers so I am a little bit hesitant to "go fast" but I find AI really helpful in my process.
I actually have been working on it for a little while but this is the first week where it's been quite helpful.
Not yet. It’s still pretty awful and I haven’t figured out the UX too great but if you are interested, I’d be happy to show you what I got together so far.
