Build the Thing, Keep the Learning

AI can build in minutes what once took me a week to write. But building software was never just about writing code. As AI takes over more of the implementation, the work of understanding problems, making decisions, and figuring out what is worth building becomes even more important.

I will revisit my first program, take apart how coding agents actually work, and share what my journey from junior developer to staff engineer has taught me about growing in this new era.

My journey started with learning to code. Yours might start somewhere else.

See you at CTM Palace, Hanoi on Saturday, 21 November!
