Someone out there is facing the same challenges you are. They’re looking for your story. Your voice. Your perspective. So share it. Put yourself out there. Be seen. Personal branding feels uncomfortable. Do it anyway. Because your experience might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

Saying "coding is dead" is missing the point. Coding isn’t just about producing code, it’s also a way of thinking. It teaches us structure, systems thinking, abstractions and problem decomposition. If you don’t learn those skills, AI won’t make you productive, it’ll make you dependent.
