📌 There’s a new kind of engineer emerging. I accidentally became one. ….. Almost 3 months in as a Tech Lead driving AI feature in e-commerce. The role is bigger than the title - and I’ve learned more in these nearly 3 months than in the year before. 3 things that stuck with me: → The hardest part isn’t building the AI feature and using AI daily. It’s aligning everyone around why it matters before the results are visible. → The wider your scope, the faster you grow. Owning the full picture - product, tech and mentorship - changes how you think. → AI in e-commerce is already here. Personalisation, search, recommendations - teams moving now are already ahead. Which brings me to something I keep thinking about - the “Fast Forward Software Engineer.” A developer who uses AI to move at the speed that used to require a team of 5. Have you heard this term? Is this already happening in your world? #fastforwardengineering #fastforwarddevelopment #aiecommerce
