Dad brought home the @aiDotEngineer Speaker Dinner gift. ChatGPT was great at making Godot games for AI Engineer Kids Day, so I used it on the puzzle.

Amazing AI Engineer Kids Day! ๐
Kids learned Machine Learning, Claude Code & Codex, then built games like corn mazes ๐ฝ and banana simulators ๐ in just a few hours.
So inspiring to see their creativity unlocked with AI. ๐งโ๐ป๐
Thanks @aiDotEngineer, @Neo4j & @catsandtech! ๐

Great to be back at #JJUGCCC โ๐ฏ๐ต
@steveonjava and I spoke about AI First Programming and rethinking CS education through our AI First book series with @Apress.
๐ I also shared US data on CS grads struggling after ChatGPT, while Japanโs hiring picture seems very different.

It was great speaking at Open Source Summit Japan! At first I wasn't sure how my first lightning talk would go, but actually it had more impact than a regular session. Many people reached out to me with compliments. I hope I inspired parents to try fun technology with their kids.
