Now a solo builder, he breaks down the monthly growth test that told him when to quit, why learning to lose control as a manager made him a better AI orchestrator, and why true vibe coders will always hit a ceiling without real engineering experience underneath them.

Since then, she has coached hundreds of students into their first tech roles. She breaks down why “follow your passion” is bad career advice, how she applied to the same role ten different ways, and why depth of specialization — not just the ability to prompt — is what will matter most in an AI-driven industry.
