Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth to engineers and college graduates looking to join technology industry: You just have to …

Meta’s chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth had a simple answer when a student asked how to enter the tech industry: stop waiting and start building. During an Instagram “Ask Me Anything” session this week, Bosworth was asked by a college freshman what it takes to break into technology. His response was direct and practical — focus less on theory and more on doing. “You just have to immerse yourself in it,” Bosworth said. “You should just constantly be building.”

Bosworth’s advice comes at a time when the tech industry is changing fast, especially with the rise of artificial intelligence. Instead of following a fixed path, he suggested students experiment and gain hands-on experience.
