[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

With no degree I’ve worked at senior+ levels at Microsoft, Twitter, Expedia, Peloton, and now Heroku Salesforce.

If you’re debating if you can be in tech, the short answer is YES. I used to be an office assistant.

Are you willing to put the work in? Let’s get it 2024.

Anyone else building Jarvis?

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

Building software has never been this fun.

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

After so many years in the game, trying to remember why I started, and get back to that feeling.

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

Everyday requires a deep breath, thoughtfulness, and patience. Keep your daily growth “systems” consistent.

I’d like to mentor more folks on tech careers and enterprise engineering. Comment or message me if you’d like to meet.

Anytime you add a database to an AI generated project it starts to struggle in endless troubleshooting loops, just eating up your tokens fixing its own mistakes…

AI coding assistants are like super smart friends who seem to have an explanation for everything—but still can’t get the code to work right.

@CChad1 Haha I was listening to it last night!

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

I’m at that age where I just want to sit by myself and listen to old music. And remember the good ‘ol’ days.

If you are looking for a reason to quit you will always find one.

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

I’ve been spending time re-motivating myself, building the right systems and habits. There’s opportunity in the chaos.

@kyle_bunger I hear you man. Not loving it.

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

Tech feels different. The pressure, the uncertainty. Things have changed.

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

LLMs will be used to make hiring decisions and find candidates. Since they are sourced by public data, think about what is out there about you.

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

It’s an exciting time to be a dev. AI coding assistants are a powerful learning tool, if you use it right.

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

What do you think about the AI agent revolution? Tell me, tell me.

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

Success can be dictated by simply not quitting.

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

Everyone is running to learn how to build AI/ML models. But eventually, AI will be like cloud computing. Only a few companies will build services, most will use those services.

Focus on learning how AI can enhance your business use cases.

[Jae Taylor @JaeOnTech]

Pray and spray job applications or begging for jobs is not the best way to get a job in tech.
