brand_edgeon Ask HN: I feel like I've lost my identity due to AI

I personally believe that your industry award and global recognition will go a long way. I had been working with AI as a founder, and I see that there is no human inside, and it just goes in so many different directions.

Your knowledge, your skills will be always valuable. Don't be afraid of the layoffs. You will always stand out.

brand_edgeon Ask HN: Are AWS Certs worth getting for experienced Devs?

Have more leverage with your work that you have done in the startups.

Hiring managers are more looking at what kind of impact you can provide and what kind of work you can get done. A certificate is useful when you don't have experience.

I would say that go and apply. You will learn while applying.

I believe at your stage, your experience has more leverage than any other certificate. Hiring managers don't see the certificates. They just skimmed it. They see what kind of work you have done.

I can say that because I had been a hiring manager in tech for seven plus years. What I am looking for is this person who can do the work that we want, and the proof that you have of working with startups is bigger than any other certificate.
