fractional work and ai w/ reed tomlinson, cto
guest: reed tomlinson, fractional cto
- treat fractional work as crisis response as much as strategy, since most calls come when something has already gone wrong
- stay indispensable and easy to work with, since that is what keeps you employed whether you are full time or on contract
- if you start contracting, update linkedin, get active on it, try marketplaces, and network in person or at co-working spaces
- differentiate yourself with niche subject matter knowledge plus coding skill instead of trying to be the best coder in the room
- when using ai coding tools, treat code review and understanding why code works as the real skill, not just accepting autocomplete
