Digital Nomad Hacker Mode: Rewrite your career source Code with AI

In the human world, revolutionary technologies have always appeared. Jili is in an industry that changes in three years and a software technology industry where new technologies appear in three months. She dare not say that she is very accustomed to such changes, but such a rapid pace is a fact that she has to accept.

But the emergence of AI has really made Jili, who is in the software technology industry, feel a lot of changes, and she feels awakened.

Huang Renxun's speech at Stanford University in 2024(45:29-49:33) It is mentioned how AI will develop in the future. It is no longer just humans who personally edit programs with program syntax, butAnyone can prompt your thoughts to the computer, Ask the computer to draw up a plan for you, or even ask the computer to construct the plan in program syntax and provide it to you for later modification.

Human beings are the best programming language in the future！ Humans and computers are like a dialogue between humans and humans, eliminating the boundary between us and technology.

When Jili also started to use generative AI tools, such as chatGPT and copilot, to assist me in writing programs, my work efficiency was greatly improved, and I realized that in the past, I always thought it only existed.The movie "Mechanical Public Enemy"The sci-fi plot in it will be our daily life in the near future.

Technological upstarts are no longer a myth. After the epidemic, there has been a wave of mass dismissals. Many colleagues have shared on the Internet that they have been fired, or that they have submitted hundreds of resumes and can't get an interview. Frustration. Although the current wave of dismissals has slowed down, it is an indisputable fact that AI has quickly replaced many industrial technologies.

The world environment is changing, and Gilly has to keep learning and change with it!

The rebellious mentality of digital nomads: Build your free escape boat

"The magic of working for yourself is that you don't have to follow the leader. You can open up your own path and establish your own rules. You can express your unique voice, you can keep your work consistent with your values, and create a job that makes you feel fulfilled and excited. "-- "Thinking and Challenges of Starting a One-person Company", author Paul Jarvis

Working for others requires that in order to meet the expectations of work, you must give up a little bit of yourself in the process. Time is bought out, and busyness makes people lost in day after day. I left, but I couldn't take anything away.

The wise saying: "Rely on the mountains to fall, and rely on everyone to fall. "A fact that has not changed through the ages.

"You have to try it yourself, and then open up your own path. "-- "Thinking and Challenges of Starting a One-person Company", author Paul Jarvis

If you are uneasy with the status quo, why not create a world that matches your own values and pace. Get back the lost self. Build a solid fortress for yourself that will continue to change with each passing day over time.

Also because of this incident, Jili learned from it that she must habitually check whether the security plug-in system is normal every day.

After reading this book "Thinking and Challenges of Starting a One-person Company", what I feel is that the author Paul Jarvis shares his journey since starting a business. There are no difficult words in it, but more a portrayal of his true entrepreneurial process. Although the title of the book is “Getting started”, it is very suitable for entrepreneurs at all stages to read. Even if you are not an entrepreneur, it is also very suitable as a career planning guide. I believe all readers will have different feelings and experiences.
