NGL, I almost didn't join after wasting money on things I never finished. What changed my mind: Paden actually does this job. Weekly posts on what he worked on, what broke, what he learned. Not theory. I stole the discovery template from the Vault, used it in my final round, and the interviewer asked where I learned to scope like that. Got the interview, negotiated a 20k+ bump (ty paden). Community's quieter than expected, think ppl are shy lol but every post gets real attention. Love it here!

I rarely give 5 stars to anything unless I believe in it. I genuinely think his roadmap is very well thought out and his clarity in what he does as an FDE has given me a lot more guidance in how to become an FDE. He also shouted me out on LinkedIn just because I had randomly been posting about some of the discoveries I found. He also gave me a roadmap in keeping me accountable in setting my goals and messages me pretty frequently just to keep up with my progress.

I recently joined this community and it was a great decision. I have already got some practical approaches on building knowledge in Applied AI and FDE space to complement my SWE background. Paden has lots of great industry relevant feedback and the community is also vibrant and supportive as we all learn together. I look forward to spending more time here as I continue to learn and build.

First off, Paden is AWESOME! I've been in tech for a while and I'm pretty selective about where I spend money on learning. This is one of the few I've renewed without thinking twice. The monthly breakdowns are awesome to read through and seeing what people are building from the group is also fun to see. Amazing group overall! Can post or lurk, always something to learn

I joined not many weeks ago and having a great time engaging with Paden and the rest of the community. Feels really great having some light thrown at these new roles created by the AI boom as sometimes the requirements are quite loose or obscure and Paden does a good job at sharing practical tips on how to tackle them
