Great to be back at #JJUGCCC โ๐ฏ๐ต
@steveonjava and I spoke about AI First Programming and rethinking CS education through our AI First book series with @Apress.
๐ I also shared US data on CS grads struggling after ChatGPT, while Japanโs hiring picture seems very different.

๐ Since ChatGPTโs late-2022 launch, US CS grads have faced tougher job placement. Japan seems different with high employment rates, but students often apply to companies, not roles, and may be assigned wherever the company needs (even outside their degree field ๐ข).

I peeked in on Daniel Oh's talk and the room was packed full beyond belief! This might be a result of mentioning him as a great speaker in the keynote yesterday. ๐

It was great speaking at Open Source Summit Japan! At first I wasn't sure how my first lightning talk would go, but actually it had more impact than a regular session. Many people reached out to me with compliments. I hope I inspired parents to try fun technology with their kids.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak at @WeAreDevs Berlin ๐ฉ๐ช last week. I was suprised how many eager developers came to learn about how they can introduce technology to their kids! I also had a book signing for my Raising Young Coders book.
