Hey folks 👋

Let’s get real for a second.

Everyone’s out here saying:

“Learn AI or be replaced.”

But no one’s telling you how to actually do that without spending hours on 10 different tools or some PhD-level ML course.

So here’s the truth 👇
In 2025, you don’t need to become the next Andrej Karpathy —
You just need to know how to work with AI.

Today’s issue is all about how tech folks like you can level up by building real AI fluency — fast, practical, and without burnout.

📍What’s Changing in Tech Hiring (That You Might Miss)

Hiring managers are no longer just looking at “tech stack” or “DSA skills” — they’re quietly screening for this:

👉 “Can this person use AI tools smartly to move faster and make better decisions?”

That includes:

  • Engineers who ship faster with AI-assisted debugging

  • DevRels who use AI for content and outreach

  • PMs who explore AI-led experimentation

  • Founders who use AI as a co-founder 😅

If you’re still avoiding AI tools because they’re “just hype” — you’re silently falling behind.

🧠 What AI Fluency Actually Means (No Jargon Edition)

AI fluency doesn’t mean building LLMs from scratch.
It means knowing how to use AI smartly in your domain.

Here’s what it looks like:
