We're SHUTTING our doors for the next 3 days (here's why)
The past 6 months have been the strongest start in the Academy's history.
We're on track for a record year across the board — students, job offers, satisfaction rate.
Our demand has completely outpaced our capacity so much so that there is no availability to book a call today, tomorrow, or Tuesday. Every slot is taken.
Now, I want to take a moment to congratulate 2 groups of people.
First, to our students — the people putting in the work, landing Cloud roles, and proving what's possible.
Second, to my team and coaches, whose work goes completely unseen. Holding world class coaching calls. Troubleshooting support until the problem is actually fixed. CV reviews, interview prep, and working behind the scenes so every student gets what they need. None of this is possible without them.
Based on how this year has gone, I expect an extreme surge in demand for the next cohort too.
And I know a lot of you have been watching my videos and waiting for the "right time."
If that's you, understand this: spots for the next cohort are going to go quickly.
If this start to the year is anything to go by, we will be fully capped out fast.
Our doors will re-open again on Wednesday 8th of July.
If you've been watching from the sidelines and wondering whether this could work for you, book a slot with us and let's figure out together if we can help you.
Worst case, you walk away with clarity on the next steps in your career.
Best case, you're in the next wave of success stories.
As always, I'm rooting for you.

The AI “Job Apocalypse” Narrative Will Shift
You’ve heard the narrative by now. “AI 2027.” Mass displacement. We’re all jobless, UBI saves us, and so on. And look, maybe in 100 years that’s a real conversation. But for where we actually are today, and the next three to five years? That’s just not what I’m seeing — not from the hiring managers I talk to, not from recruiters, not from inside my own companies.
The way I see it, there are two things happening at once. The first is the cost-saving side, and this one’s real — AI clears the low-leverage, low-ROI work off people’s plates. But that doesn’t make them redundant, it frees them up to go work on the stuff that actually moves the needle. I’m doing exactly this across my own teams right now. You take someone off the lower leverage tasks and point them at the high-value problems.
But the second force is the one that’s genuinely exploding, and nobody’s really saying it out loud. These LLMs have collapsed the distance from idea to working product. You go from idea to MVP to a working prototype in a fraction of the time it used to take. And what does that actually do? It makes companies want more talent, not less. They look at what’s possible now and they go, “I need to hire more engineers to take advantage of this.” More people to deploy these models, build new applications, add intelligence layers into existing products, ship agents into production, make the customer experience better and more personalised. Because every one of those things drives revenue. And at the end of the day companies just want more profit — so they want more talent. That’s the whole thing.
Now I know what you’re thinking, because you can see all the fear-mongering and the layoff headlines out of big tech. But be real with me here — that’s not AI replacing productive people. We’ve all watched the last few years. We saw the quiet quitting wave, people staying on the books doing one or two hours of actual work a week, showing up to a couple of meetings and otherwise just… there. We saw the viral TikToks of people barely working at all. Then we watched Musk cut something like three quarters of the workforce at Twitter, everyone said it would collapse — and X works just fine. He proved you could trim that deep and the thing still runs smoothly (a massive wake-up call for every Big Tech CEO).
And on top of all that, hiring basically doubled across the big caps (FAANG) post-COVID. So what you’re actually watching now isn’t AI gutting the workforce — it’s companies trimming the fat from that bloat, cutting the top layer, driving efficiency. The AI-spending narrative is the headline, but a lot of those roles weren’t moving the needle much to begin with. So yeah, the headlines look scary, but the reality underneath is just companies getting leaner after years of over-hiring.
So when you put it all together — the lower leverage tasks automated, the explosion in demand for people who can actually build with this, and the layoffs being mostly post-COVID bloat coming off — the picture isn’t displacement. If anything it’s the opposite. More talent is getting pulled into the pipeline because companies realise these tools are the real deal and they want people who can use them to create better products and customer experience.
I genuinely think by the end of this year this whole AI taking our jobs flips on its head. The narrative shifts, people look around, and they realise the displacement they were promised never actually showed up. AI isn’t taking the jobs. It’s creating the demand for the people who know how to use it.
And when the AI narrative shifts, you’ll know where you heard it first.
