We’re back with an all-new season of Dice’s “Tech Connects”! Our next guest is Adam Seligman, Vice President of Developer Experience at Amazon Web Services (AWS). In that role, he has relentlessly focused on making software more accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of development experience. There are several reasons why I wanted to talk to him.
First, AWS is launching a portfolio of AI-powered helpers and tools for developers. This has the potential to fundamentally change the way thousands of people build tomorrow’s software.
Second, we have a whole new generation of technology professionals taking on their first roles as interns, junior developers, and more. Meanwhile, the technology industry is rapidly changing due to advancements in technologies such as AI. Adam has interesting insights into how these new tech professionals can use his AI to accelerate problem-solving and early careers.
So let’s dive in!
Here are some additional takeaways from the discussion here.
First, generative AI is used by a wide range of people, from seasoned data scientists to early-career interns. Whether you’re an experienced technology professional looking to speed up your coding or an intern still trying to figure out how to use the building blocks of technology, AI can automate tasks and improve them. You can make the job a little easier by making suggestions.
Next, if you run a team or project, consider enabling interns, junior developers, and other technical professionals to use AI. This may allow some issues to be resolved more quickly.
Third, AI as a technology is here to stay. At this point, it can be helpful to determine how best to integrate it into your current workflow, including designing your solution, writing code, and debugging it.
Of course, we covered a lot of other topics in this episode, but if you missed any the first time, please listen again. See you soon. Remember, Dice is the best resource for finding the tech talent you need to fill open roles, and a great place for techies to grow their tech careers.
