SHOW SPONSOR:

  • The Crowdstrike outage and market-driven brittleness
  • Network Engineering is a Dying Profession
  • Vista Equity writes off Pluralsight after $3.5B buyout

SHOW NOTES:

WE’RE ALWAYS LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

  • Systems are more interconnected and more critical
  • Companies under-staff critical operations
  • Developers are the new kingmakers, but where are all the kings?

PEOPLE DON’T IGNORE STABLE FOUNDATIONS, THEY FORGET ABOUT THEM

  • Not enough people have home labs, or go after certifications
  • The industry highlights the content creators, instead of the builders/fixers
  • There might be an opportunity to restart a focus on foundational skills
