In 🥇 place this week it's the one and only Aaron Francis! None of us really know whats going to happen this year with AI and developer roles thanks to it. Instead of being all glum and gloomy Aaron has fully embraced this and he's about to release a new course with all the things that he's been learning that he's hoping will help up skill you with everything you will need to work alongside AI and to embrace it for the tool that it is, the tool that can help you become a better developer.
