I answer the questions I get most in my community and comments, like whether I still read or write code, whether there is a secret setup, what is still hard, and whether tech jobs are safe. I also explain why I would look at forward-deployed engineering and freelance projects if I had a job in tech right now, and which skills I think will last, starting with architecture. 👋🏻 About Me Hi! I'm Dave, AI Engineer and founder of Datalumina®. On this channel, I share practical tutorials that teach developers how to build production-ready AI systems that actually work in the real world. Beyond these tutorials, I also help people start successful freelancing careers. Check out the links above to learn more!
