“How to Survive as a Developer in Silicon Valley”

In an era where competition among tech companies is becoming increasingly intense, the word “Silicon Valley” may sound glamorous. But do we truly understand the real mindset of those who survive in such a competitive environment?

For this session, we are pleased to invite Seyoung Han, Partner Engineer at Meta.

From the vivid perspective of an industry professional, this talk will introduce how developers survive in Silicon Valley and the new mindset we need to develop.

The lecture will cover the following topics:

• The changing role of developers in the AI era
• “I am the CEO”
• LLMs/Agents are my employees
