Someone asked me about my advice to devs for "traditional software engineers" who resist change.
My advice:
Being a true tech professional means you keep your toolset sharp, and up-to-date. If you refuse to do so, you are probably not a true professional, but (cont'd)

Is it really a sign of life? That’s still not clear; lots of analysis left to do. But it’ll be interesting to see how it all pans out! 🧪 🔭

It's a very strange hiring market in tech: both for teams and hiring managers hiring, as well as for engineers looking for jobs.
Companies are struggling to find solid engineers, and solid engineers are struggling to hear back from companies looking for people just like them.

As a tech worker you will need two skills in the current
1. Doing more with less. This isn’t about AI but more that expectations are rising while resources aren’t.
2. Being able to articulate the value of your work, your team’s and your org. If it isn’t high then either change it or find a way out
