AI and Your Software Engineering Career 🧭 with Sourav Dey

Layoffs, AI, hiring freezes, and a great deal of loud advice from people who are not building anything. It is hard to tell which changes are real and which are noise, and harder still to know what to actually do on Monday.

In 50 minutes we work through:

1. What actually changed in how you get hired. Which parts of the loop moved, what interviewers now screen for, and where the bar genuinely went up rather than where people assume it did.
2. What changed in what your team expects you to ship. The gap between using AI occasionally and how output is now judged, and what that means for your next review.
3. Which of your skills are now table stakes. Some of what made you valuable three years ago is commodity now. Some matters more than ever. Knowing which is which is most of the work.
4. What to learn next, and what to ignore. You leave with a shortlist, not a reading list.

You get a written plan within 24 hours, specific to your role and stack.

Best for: Engineers with 2 or more years who want a grounded read rather than reassurance or alarm.
