In an era where AI threatens traditional tech careers, "Code Your Comeback" offers engineers a revolutionary path forward. This isn't just another guide on surviving AI disruption—it's a comprehensive roadmap to leveraging AI for true professional independence.

Drawing from 10+ years of industry experience and the personal journey through tech layoffs, author Kojo Opuni reveals how engineers can transform AI from career threat to powerful ally. Through step-by-step frameworks anyone can implement and real-world strategies, this book shows exactly how to build sustainable, AI-powered ventures that create lasting value.

Inside, you'll discover:

- How to process career disruption and develop an AI-enhanced mindset

- The technical foundation needed to effectively collaborate with AI

- Strategies to accelerate your learning and skill development using AI

No advanced AI knowledge required—the book meets you where you are, whether you're AI-curious or already experimenting with the technology.

Unlike theoretical guides or general career advice, "Code Your Comeback" provides a battle-tested methodology specifically for engineers looking to break free from the cycle of corporate dependency. Learn how small teams are achieving what once required hundreds—Cal AI reaching $21M ARR with just two people, SeoBotAI hitting $1M ARR with a solo founder, and Cursor scaling to $100M ARR with a team of 15.

The new reality of tech isn't just about surviving disruption—it's about seizing unprecedented opportunity. Whether you're facing a layoff, feeling vulnerable in your current role, or simply seeking greater professional sovereignty, this book provides the tactical guidance and strategic vision to build your comeback. Even if you're not an engineer but want to understand how AI is reshaping technical careers and creating new possibilities, you'll find valuable insights throughout.

Don't just adapt to the AI revolution. Lead it.
