I will blog some of my takeaways.</p> <h2> Never Click Apply Get Hired </h2> <p>Leon Noel</p> <p>Leon's talk was about networking and building relationships to help you get known and get interviews. He said only 2% people that use easy apply actually get interviews. <br> Instead you should be talking to people, commenting on their posts and chatting now and not just when you are on the job hunt. Talk had a lot of resources which he's gonna send out.</p> <h2> Ship It First, Fix It Later </h2> <p>Roxy Rodriguez-Becker</p> <p>Roxy made a tool to help track her son's medically required diet. She made an app for her family to use. Then deployed it and got a lot of users that gave feedback and helped her improve the app.</p> <p>She encourages you to build your project and then put it out there for people to use and help you make it better. </p> <p>These talk will eventually be released on the Dallas Software Developer's YouTube page.</p> techtalks Chris Jarvis Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:25:01 +0000 https://dev.to/jarvisscript/commit-your-code-tip-b5k https://dev.to/jarvisscript/commit-your-code-tip-b5k <p>Danny Thompson just delivered the Commit your Code Keynote. </p> <p>His biggest AI advice was to make the AI read and reread your files before you prompt it. Tell it to ingest the files by reading them. Then say if when change X how will it affect the files. So it has to read the file again to think. </p> <p>Then you tell it to make any changes.
