With no degree I’ve worked at senior+ levels at Microsoft, Twitter, Expedia, Peloton, and now Heroku Salesforce. If you’re debating if you can be in tech, the short answer is YES. I used to be an office assistant. Are you willing to put the work in? Let’s get it 2024.

After so many years in the game, trying to remember why I started, and get back to that feeling.

Everyday requires a deep breath, thoughtfulness, and patience. Keep your daily growth “systems” consistent.

.@JaeOnTech is driving innovation as a software engineer working on Heroku AppLink, a new capability introduced this year. Builders, joins us at #DF25 to experience AppLink, Heroku for #Agentforce, and what more we have in store.

I’d like to mentor more folks on tech careers and enterprise engineering. Comment or message me if you’d like to meet.

Anytime you add a database to an AI generated project it starts to struggle in endless troubleshooting loops, just eating up your tokens fixing its own mistakes…

AI coding assistants are like super smart friends who seem to have an explanation for everything—but still can’t get the code to work right.

@CChad1 Haha I was listening to it last night!

@JaeOnTech You remember the “My name is Joe” album? Now there is zero R&B to listen to.

I’m at that age where I just want to sit by myself and listen to old music. And remember the good ‘ol’ days.

If you are looking for a reason to quit you will always find one.

I’ve been spending time re-motivating myself, building the right systems and habits. There’s opportunity in the chaos.

@kyle_bunger I hear you man. Not loving it.

@JaeOnTech I was just telling my wife this. I suddenly have started to feel like I’m in a cage recently. What was once so dynamic and rich with opportunities now feels very limited. It has shifted over the last couple of years

Tech feels different. The pressure, the uncertainty. Things have changed.

LLMs will be used to make hiring decisions and find candidates. Since they are sourced by public data, think about what is out there about you.

It’s an exciting time to be a dev. AI coding assistants are a powerful learning tool, if you use it right.

What do you think about the AI agent revolution? Tell me, tell me.

Success can be dictated by simply not quitting.

Everyone is running to learn how to build AI/ML models. But eventually, AI will be like cloud computing. Only a few companies will build services, most will use those services. Focus on learning how AI can enhance your business use cases.

Pray and spray job applications or begging for jobs is not the best way to get a job in tech.

@DomRockingIT I just might have to

@JaeOnTech Time to create that niche

A lot of tech podcasts are presented in a very professional and kinda boring way. Anyone know of interesting tech podcasts that are fun to listen to?
