THE 2026 AI MASTERCLASS MEETUP! Most developers are barely scratching the surface of AI. They’re stuck in a 'chatbot' loop, getting average results because they haven't updated their mental models for 2026.

Most still interact with these models in ways that limit their potential. This session is designed to fix that. We’re moving past the hype cycle and diving into how to actually orchestrate workflows that produce production-ready results.

If you are not technical, this will still be EXTREMELY valuable and change how you think and use AI on a day-to-day basis.

TypeScript is a ghost. It does its job, then it disappears. Understanding this distinction is what separates an average software developer from a Senior Engineer who actually ships.

I saw a YouTube video the other day that shared some bad info, and I needed to correct this while also educating you in the best ways that I know how. Let me know how you like this.

The average software developer treats TypeScript like it's real.
They write:

import { User } from './types'

If they want to just import a type, interface, or something along those lines. Not realizing you are importing an entire file instead of the few lines you really need.

A seasoned engineer would write

import type { User } from './types'

instead.

One line of code. TWO COMPLETELY different messages.
I broke down exactly why this matters (and how to enforce it with verbatimModuleSyntax) in the video below. ⬇️

Software Developers! What is a technical opinion you held strongly as a junior developer that you have completely flip-flopped on as you became more experienced?

You write clean code, you ship features, but you still feel stuck.

Why? Could it be that the missing piece is not technical?

Could your gap around empathizing, communicating with others, and discussing business value be the invisible ceiling you keep hitting?

With TypeScript, you actually have two options, whether you realize it or not.

Let's say you are using TanStack React Forms and need a type. You can do this in 2 different ways!

Have you tried this yourself?
