During the Interview
A good interview becomes a conversation between colleagues. Everything here adapts to the interviewer, the company and the role; this is a guide, not a script.
- When they ask something like “What do you know about us?”, that’s your opening: “Actually, I did some research and put something together; mind if I share my screen real quick?” From there, the conversation flows naturally
- A senior profile simplifies complexity and proposes improvements to the product or business
- Suggest how the company could scale through modern tools like MCP servers, AI Skills, Agents; show applied AI thinking
- Use Claude Code and custom Skills to automate research, process documents (e.g. Mineru API for doc-to-Markdown) and generate visuals (Gemini, DALL-E)
- Configure Agents and generators with Turbo Repo or pnpm; create a CLI so AI follows your project standards

Mindset
- Evolve from programmer to solution architect; the difference lies in creativity and tool orchestration
- Stay active: own projects, hackathons, open source. Present yourself as a founder, not just a coder
- Build your network: communities (La Plaza Devs, MedellinJS, CodeYourFuture) and tech events
- Choose wisely: look for companies that value autonomy and teamwork, avoid places that replace humans with AI without a growth vision
