7 Ways You Can Build an Amazing Dev Career in the AI Era

7 Ways You Can Build an Amazing Dev Career in the AI Era

Tue, Oct 13, 10:30 PM
From Toronto Java Users Group
4.8

**Note special location: Intuit, 8 Spadina Ave, 19th Floor** **7 Ways You Can Build an Amazing Dev Career in the AI Era** Are you also wondering where you fit in all of this? Every day, you are bombarded with claims that AI will transform software development. Is this an unprecedented opportunity or an existential threat? After more than 30 years in the software industry, I've seen technologies create opportunities, destroy opportunities, and completely reshape careers. Yet... there are always professionals who seem to thrive regardless of the changes happening around them. Why do some become more valuable... while others struggle? This presentation will face the myths around AI head-on and explore how you can create opportunities in the age of AI... instead of being afraid and scrambling to keep up. Because the future may belong to those who understand something deeper than technology itself... **About the venue** Intuit has generously offered to host Toronto JUG in their downtown office at The Well. They will provide some food and drinks. **Speaker Bio** Since 1995, Bruno has been helping Java developers advance their careers and work on exciting projects. A recognized Java Evangelist and Java Champion, as well as a board member of the Java Community Process, Bruno founded and leads SouJava, the Brazilian Java Users Society. In his book, "Developer Career Masterplan," Bruno shares insights on career development for senior developers, topics he further explores in his Code4.life project.

Toronto Coronation Street Meet Up

Toronto Coronation Street Meet Up

Thu, Oct 22, 9:30 PM
From Toronto Coronation Street Lovers!

Do you watch Coronation street but have no one to talk to about the comings and goings of this classic UK show? Then come and have a natter over a pint or a cuppa with a group of CS fans! A positive, laid back group with the emphasis on fun. If you do not enjoy currently watching the show, this is not the meet up for you. No haters or grumps!!! 😃 Although we can all agree that we are glad someone finally bumped off Theo! 🤣 There might even be trivia…and perhaps prizes. All suggestions for time of day and venue preferences welcome. Please read group description to see if this is the group for you.

Meetup Event: Business Builders — Coffee + Clarity Session

Thu, Oct 15, 10:00 PM
From LeaderSHIFT
4.9

I get a lot of messages from people who want to connect for different reasons—partnerships, potential investment, help building a leveraged business model, or job opportunities. This meet-up is a casual but **structured** way to meet in person, quickly understand what you’re working on, and determine clear next steps. ### **📍 Location** **Second Cup** 4841 Yonge St · North York, ON ### **🕓 Time** **Aug 20th, 2026** **6:00 PM – 9:00 PM** *** ## **💵 Attendance Fee (Important)** **$10 for business-related attendance**, including: * business model feedback / guidance * partnership discussions * investment-related conversations * strategic support / “how do I move forward?” planning *If you’re coming for both job + business advice, it’s considered business-related and the $10 applies.* *** ## **✅ RSVP (Required)** Please RSVP so I can plan seating and manage time fairly for everyone. *** ## **What this meet-up is (and isn’t)** **This is an intro + screening session** designed to: * meet you briefly * clarify your direction * identify fit * suggest the next best step **This is not** a full consulting session, a guaranteed job interview, or a promise of investment/partnership. Those decisions happen after follow-up, if there’s a fit. *** ## **Format / Timeboxing** To keep it fair, conversations will be **timeboxed (approximately 15–20 minutes per person)** depending on turnout. You may stay and listen to other discussions. *** ## **What to bring (typed + prepared)** ### **If you want help with a business model** Bring a **typed 1-page plan** (rough is fine) including: * what the business does * who the customer is * how it makes money * what you’ve done so far * what you need help with right now ### **If you’re looking for a job** Bring **two printed copies** of your resume. ### **If you want to partner with me** Bring a **typed outline** including: * your concept (clear + simple) * **your responsibilities** (what you will personally do each week) * **your expectation of my responsibilities** * what success looks like (timeline + goals) ### **If you’re seeking investment (or want to discuss it)** Bring a **typed summary** including: * what traction you have (sales/users/LOIs/partnerships—anything real) * how much capital you’re seeking * exactly how the funds would be used * why you’re the person/team to execute *** If this sounds like you, join me at **Second Cup on Oct 15th from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM**. If you are looking for a job, please use the meetup messaging feature to message me and I will add you to the event.
