Brent fell in love with code when he was twelve. Looking back, young him didn’t know many things about programming, and there were many struggles to wade through during the first years of his professional career. A year or two ago he got confronted with what felt like yet another new reality: the rise of AI, and especially his struggles with it.
In this talk, Brent looks back at the things he wish he knew fifteen years ago and how that knowledge can help him (and hopefully you) find stability in what feels like a new era of programming.
