The Software Engineer's Playbook for 2026 and Beyond

The tech industry is shifting fast. AI is reshaping what engineers do. Job openings look different than they did two years ago. And the advice most Nigerians hear about "getting into tech" was written for a world that no longer exists. But engineers from Nigeria are still breaking into Big Tech right now, in this new landscape. This webinar is about how. Fanan Dala, Software Infrastructure Engineer at Meta, joins Nodecademy to talk through what still works in 2026: the projects that get noticed, the skills that compound, the mindset that separates people who make it from those who give up when the industry shifts underneath them. This isn't a talk about AI. It's a talk about what actually matters, the technical depth, engineering judgment, and career strategy that hold up whether the industry is booming, correcting, or transforming. Whether you're a student, a recent graduate, or a self-taught engineer figuring out your next move, this session is for you
