AWS Hero Stephen Sennett joins the vBrownBag crew to argue that foundational knowledge matters more now, not less. 🧠 They dig into why communication skills have become a functional technical requirement, 💬 how to build a T-shaped career that AI can't commoditize, and where LLMs still fall completely flat. 🤖 There's a live car wash prompt test 🚗, an honest AGI reality check, and a look at how junior and senior expectations are shifting in the cloud careers era. ☁️ Worth the watch for anyone mapping out their tech skills strategy for 2026.
