Do you believe that traditional coding skills are all it takes to thrive in today’s tech landscape? Think again.

As a former developer turned CEO—deeply involved in recruiting the next generation of developers—Jon have witnessed firsthand how the advent of Artificial Intelligence, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT and Claude, is reshaping our industry. Welcome to the era of The Generative Developer, where coding isn’t just about writing lines of code but about effectively collaborating with AI to innovate and solve complex problems.

In this insightful session, we’ll explore:

- The Evolution of Developer Skill Sets: Discover how LLMs are changing the way developers work, and why skills like prompt engineering—crafting effective inputs for AI models—are becoming just as important as coding proficiency.
- Mastering AI Collaboration: Learn practical techniques for interacting with AI models to enhance productivity, from generating boilerplate code to debugging and optimizing algorithms.
- Redefining Recruitment and Interviews: Gain an insider’s perspective on how AI is influencing the qualities we seek in developers, the questions we ask during interviews, and what it takes to stand out in a market where AI collaboration is key.
- Bridging the Gap Between Code and Communication: Understand why the ability to articulate problems clearly and interact effectively with AI tools is now a critical part of the developer’s role.
- Preparing for the Future: Get actionable advice on how to adapt to these changes, ensuring your skills remain relevant in an AI-augmented industry.
