Critical thinking for developers who want to stay irreplaceable.
In this age of generative AI, critical thinking is no longer optional, it’s a competitive advantage. Backed by research, Jots helps you sharpen your reflection skills to become a smarter dev and outperform your peers.
15 Minutes Per Day To Set Yourself Apart
A Harvard Business School study found that workers who spent only 15 minutes a day reflecting on their work improved their work performance by ~23% over 10 days.
“We do not learn from experience… we learn from reflecting on experience.”— John Dewey (educational reformer)
