Tech students are constantly surrounded by people who seem to be doing more: building projects, winning hackathons, getting internships, collecting certifications, contributing to open source, or landing jobs before graduation. This episode explores the pressure to keep up, the comparison trap, and what it actually means to build a career when everyone's timeline looks different.

AI is changing how we work, build, and think about technology, while a new generation of tools is creating an unprecedented wave of innovation. But what does this shift look like for experienced tech professionals? We explore how seasoned technologists are adapting, what decades of experience can offer in an AI-driven workplace, and how different generations of technologists can navigate this period of rapid change together.
