AI advances are transforming tech faster than ever — organisations are already letting thousands of people go, and as tech professionals, we’re increasingly relying on AI for vibe and low-code solutions.

• How to get started in tech and stand out
• Why you’ll need to reinvent yourself
• My strategy for staying on top
