The energy and feedback tonight has just been absolutely incredible! The 2026 AI Masterclass, my goal was simple: fundamentally shift how people think about AI and the use cases. Instead of showing it in a starter application I showed how to use agents in production level codebases and just seeing the responses was incredible. Literally saw jaws drop because the approach is not what people are used to seeing!

THIS is what community is all about. From a technical standpoint the feedback has been incredible but from a community standpoint I have never been more proud of everyone. People who were afraid to speak to people at a meetup 6 months ago were sharing technical conversations with other devs. Solo devs breaking out of their shell speaking with groups.

THIS is what community is all about! I love how much value we were able to share.

Whether you joined virtually or in person, I'm so glad that you got to hang out and be part of the Dallas Software Developers Community!

There is a VERY distinct difference between Vibe Coding and Software Engineering with AI.

"Dude, your new job is so secret it's killing me." 😂 I promise I wasn't trying to be a man of mystery! I just wanted to make sure everything was official before sharing the news. 

To be honest, it’s overwhelming in literally the best way possible. When I started this journey, I just wanted to write code and help a few people along the way. I never imagined I’d have an entire community checking in on me, rooting for me along the way andfor my next chapter to make sure I landed somewhere great!

If you were at The 2026 AI Masterclass Last Night that I taught, then you already know where I am going!

Today, the secret is out:

I am officially joining Atlassian as a Senior Developer Advocate! #newlassian

I didn't get here alone. The software community is the most powerful "referral" anyone could ask for.

To everyone who invested their time, energy, and thoughts into my journey, Thank you. Genuinely.

I start next week on Tuesday!
Get ready for some incredible content, new project builds, and a whole lot of value!
