What is your daily Learn? Don’t leave it to the weekends, it won’t happen. Don’t leave it to some great big 8-hour marathon, it won’t happen. Don’t leave it till the night before, you won’t retain anything. Learning is still a process that we iteratively go through and need to not forget how to do. YouTube, Blogs, Udemy – there is so much out there – taken in increments, you’ll be much farther with what you do each day in your growth if you start with a plan today.

And if you haven’t felt it yet, that’s okay, you get to plan your pivot before it does hit, because it is coming.

AI will never name its classes or projects as cool as I do. I can prompt it, kick it, push it – but it will never be as cool as the ones that I give it. Never be steeped in so much meaning from what the team has been through that only they get the inside joke. Maybe one day. But not for a while, hopefully for a long time, because this and our cool variable naming is what makes our code amazing.
