First full session of the 2026 relaunch
A wider table. AI as the through-line — what's changed, where the openings are, what newcomers are up against, and the books worth reading.
We held the second session in KurdSoftware’s 2026 relaunch series, following the previous week’s smaller return attended by Omid and me. We revisited why these gatherings matter and why we should continue them.
The conversation focused almost entirely on AI: recent changes, new opportunities to build and earn, challenges facing newcomers, and how experienced software engineers can thrive by combining strong fundamentals with continuous adaptation. We also exchanged knowledge and recommended books.
