For PROGRAMMERS: if you've been hired or are looking to get hired, or have recently been let go, whats your experience been? I hear so much stuff ranging from software is going to get more jobs to only the best will still have jobs.

Hey @boltdotnew, I'm trying to sign up for the https://t.co/DxB64tgsuq but i'm getting an "You are not authorized to access this page" error! I couldn't find anyone getting this error. Please Help!

I'm competing in the May Revenue Race for @JustBuildHQ! Watch out for my app coming soon, it'll be a storybook generator for kids that won me first place at the @WeberStateU AI hackathon!

[Jens Shumway @jenshummy]

I got FIRST PLACE at the @WeberStateU hackathon today sponsored by @windsurf_ai, @boltdotnew and @elevenlabs!

I built an AI powered children’s book generator that integrates voice, text, image and video ai generation.

Well you can't win them all, and I have been definitely reminded of that recently.

I just bombed two technical interviews, one for an internship and another for a job to a place here in Utah.

Discouragement is real. How have you handled it/learned from failure?

[Jens Shumway @jenshummy]

With AI threatening to replace mid-level engineers, software engineers everywhere need to shift focus from low-level tasks to high-level, overarching engineering tasks; instead of practicing algorithms we need to focus on learning to create effective software architecture.

@parker_lyman Definitely 😂

Yesterday I participated in the @manusai and @JustBuildHQ Hackathon at Kiln and got 2nd place with my stock analyzer dashboard! It was a super fun time, and I got to learn a ton about creating projects with Manus and AI agents.

With AI exploding on every front, what will really put you ahead isn't how you use it, It's what you use it for. Innovative ideas will be the distinguishing factor from now on.

Prompting is a lot more important than some people realize. If you're not getting the results you want, it's not always the model's fault--It could be your prompt. Be more descriptive than you think. Use negative prompting to exclude things you don't want in your output.

[Jens Shumway @jenshummy]

True.

[CJ Zafir @cjzafir]

I code with AI tools for 6-7 hours daily.

Built over 36 projects in last 12 months.

Truth: "Build me ........... app" in 1 prompt is not possible.

So, here're all the MISTAKES you might be making with AI code:

This will be the first 48 hour hackathon that I will be participating in, and the first that I will be competing in with a group. Super exciting!

[Jens Shumway @jenshummy]

I was absolutely floored with this project. As an interstellar/nolan superfan myself, this is incredible:

Somehow I forgot that ChatGPT has a computer vision model.

Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest hackathon in history is coming, sponsored by @boltdotnew. I am so excited, and 1000% participating. You have to join.

If you haven't tried it yet, https://t.co/HuZ6wUcuvs is absolutely unreal. It's an ahead-of-it's-time AI voice generator with an incredible approach to bridging the divide between human and voice interactions. You have to try it!
