navigating your career w/ ai as a junior dev w/ will king
guest: will king, design engineer at crunchy data
- use ai as rocket fuel to level yourself up, not as a crutch that writes all your code for you
- pick specific companies you want to work for and build something that shows you understand their product, instead of mass applying
- when learning a new skill like ai tools, be able to explain how it makes you more valuable to a business before you invest time in it
- use ai to practice decision making by asking for three variations of a solution plus an argument for the best one
- build relationships early by saying hey to people you find interesting and sharing your work publicly instead of waiting until you need something
