The AI Engineer Kids Day event was featured in the @aiDotEngineer World's Fair newspaper! 📰 The kids were possibly more proficient with AI than us. ✨🧑‍💻

Dad brought home the @aiDotEngineer Speaker Dinner gift. ChatGPT was great at making Godot games for AI Engineer Kids Day, so I used it on the puzzle. GPT-5.5 thought 6m18s: “2x3 rectangle.” ⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛ Mom stared 1 min: “make a cube.” Use AI for coding, not thinking 🤣

Amazing AI Engineer Kids Day! 🚀 Kids learned Machine Learning, Claude Code & Codex, then built games like corn mazes 🌽 and banana simulators 🍌 in just a few hours. So inspiring to see their creativity unlocked with AI. 🧑‍💻🌈 Thanks @aiDotEngineer, @neo4j & @catsandtech! 🙌

Great to be back at #JJUGCCC ☕🇯🇵 @steveonjava and I spoke about AI First Programming and rethinking CS education through our AI First book series with @Apress. 📊 I also shared US data on CS grads struggling after ChatGPT, while Japan’s hiring picture seems very different.
