The meeting between the State Changers was a consultative conversation. The first part of the conversation involved discussion around the practicalities associated with recording, storing, and hyperlinking to Zoom call recordings in an S3 bucket for compliance purposes. Here key challenges related to URL signing, expiration, and authentication were addressed with potential solution ideas offered. They discussed employing middleware like Xano for secure and authenticated redirection to the required resources or potentially creating a public S3 bucket. However, the emphasis was on maintaining security while ensuring regulatory compliance.
In the latter half of the meeting, the conversational focus shifted to career planning in tech and the future implications of growing developer automation tools for individuals entering or growing within the software development industry. The state changer mentor advocates for a continual learning philosophy and building three main assets: knowledge, reputation, and wealth. He suggested that while technical skills may be vulnerable to automation, trust with clients and understanding of these technologies in context will not be. For this reason, reputation and brand were seen as vital assets. He also emphasized the importance of being top in your specific field or niche and expressed skepticism about the practicality of passive income streams in tech. Overall, this meeting will be valuable for those involved in technical project management, mainly around client relations and risk management in the area of regulated industries such as financial services. It also holds insights for those engaging in career planning in tech and offers thoughtful perspectives on facing potential industry disruptions.
