The idea that AI will steal software engineering jobs is naive.

LLMs (e.g. ChatGPT) produce remarkable results. They mimic language to write poetry, create videos, and write computer code.

It's that latter capability which has social media and the press all excited.

My manager once asked me how long it was going to take to implement a small thing, and I said “two weeks”.

“Two weeks?” he exclaimed. “Why is it going to take so long?”

“Well”, I said, “two weeks is my lower bound estimate for all dev work.”

When you're going to job interviews, remember the one thing that matters the most:

- Your interviewer is a human being, and you're one too.

Build a damn human connection with them! That's what they'll retain from your interview.

This is a key tip I recommend you all👇
