You don't need to abandon your expertise to build AI-powered products. The best leverage comes from taking what you already know—your judgment, your relationships, your domain experience—and using AI to turn your recurring problems into products others will pay for.
In this session, Scott Simson (AI Marketing World, AI Mavericks) walks through a framework that's already working for professionals and entrepreneurs: Protect your expertise, Automate the friction, Multiply by packaging solutions for others.
You'll Learn- How to identify what's defensible about your expertise (your "moat") in an AI world
- Where vibe coding fits: describing what you want in plain language, iterating with AI, and letting the system handle the implementation
- A repeatable path from identifying a friction point in your work to building a product others have the same problem with
- Real examples: marketers building custom tools, operators automating internal workflows, SEO experts turning expertise into software
Who This Is For
- Job seekers and professionals who think "I'm not technical, so I can't build"
- Experienced operators looking to create career optionality or side leverage
- Anyone with domain expertise who's hit the barrier of "I need a developer to build this"
Who This Isn't For
- People looking for a live coding walkthrough or technical deep-dive
- Developers seeking advanced AI engineering content
Format
This is a conversation and framework session, not a live coding walkthrough. Scott will walk through the mindset and structure, share how professionals are using this approach, and answer your questions—but you won't see an application being built in real-time. Bring your thinking, not your laptop.
What Happens Next
At the end, you'll be invited to join AI Mavericks—a community of professionals and builders who are shipping products this way, sharing what works, and thinking about AI as a career tool, not a replacement skill.About Scott Simson

The software engineering market didn't collapse. It split — and most candidates are still preparing for the market that existed three years ago.
Openings exist, but they've concentrated. AI-adjacent and infrastructure roles are competitive to fill while generalist roles sit far below their pre-2022 baseline. The entry rung has thinned as AI absorbs the well-bounded work that used to train junior engineers, which pushes recent grads and career changers into a crowded middle already occupied by laid-off mid-level engineers. Time-to-hire has stretched. Fully remote postings are rare.
The bigger change is one almost nobody is preparing for: the interview itself got rebuilt. After a wave of real-time AI assistance in remote coding screens, companies responded in two directions. Some dragged interviews back on-site. Others redesigned the assessment — adding rounds where you're handed an AI assistant and evaluated on whether you can prompt it, catch its mistakes, and defend the result. Follow-up questions became the filter. Narrating your reasoning out loud went from nice-to-have to the thing you're actually scored on.
If your prep strategy is "grind 500 LeetCode problems," you are optimizing for a screen that increasingly isn't the deciding round.
Join software engineer and mentor Phong Lam for a working session on what's actually required to land a software engineering role right now. He'll cover:- Where the market genuinely split, and which side of it your background currently sits on
- Why interview loops changed in 2026 — on-site returns, AI-assisted rounds, and follow-up questions as the real filter
- How to prepare by pattern, not volume: recognizing question families instead of memorizing solutions
- The new prep skill nobody practices — debugging and defending code you didn't write
- How to talk about using AI in your work without sounding like you've outsourced your judgment
- How mid-level and senior engineers coming off a layoff avoid reading as "generalist" on paper
- Where the openings actually are, including the non-obvious companies quietly hiring software talent
- What career changers and recent grads can do to clear a bar that moved after they enrolled
Come with your questions, your loop stories, and the roles you're targeting.
