To wrap up the Future of Work mini-season, we wanted to talk less about technology and more about the people who make this technology. We wanted to discuss how we can make our future of work safer and more inclusive.

From ChatGPT, Dall-E, and Stable Diffusion, to Amazon CodeWhisperer and GitHub Co-Pilot. Artificial intelligence is now more popular, powerful, and accessible than ever. Some greet new machine-learning tech with curiosity and fascination, while others are alarmed or even scared of what the future may hold.

We continue to talk about the future of work. In today's episode, we look into the fundamentals of Agile, team compositions and synergies.

Fork Pull Merge Push is back! In season three, we talk about the future of work and how this future will look for us, people working in tech. To kick things off, we invited Miku and Pauliina to talk about software engineering — how the roles have been shaping, what the current trends and challenges are, and how we can shape the future of our profession. Tune in and join our semi-practical, semi-philosophical conversation.

It's 2022, and we don't need to convince anyone that data management and analytics are essential for any business. Whether you're a big corporation, a high-tech startup, or you sell DIY jewelry online — data is everywhere. The better you know your data, the better you understand it — the better results you get across the board. That said, in many organizations, analytics are still often put on the back burner. Why? We invited analytics expert Matias Muhonen to talk about that in this episode. We touch upon the basics of analytics, the whys and hows of data collection, management, and security. Tune in!

"Hello, IT. Have you tried switching it off and on again?" The role of sysadmin has quite a flat, stereotypical image in pop culture as the 'ultimate nerds'. In reality, the admin function is the backbone of any organization. They are the enablers that ensure you have the means to do your work well. They are guardians that look after the company's data safety. Finally, they are the ultimate problem-solvers.

In today's episode, we dive into the admin world in the Reaktor context. For that, we invited Robin Laurén, a full-stack admin, who's been with Reaktor for over nine years. We talk about what qualities make a great sysadmin and why empathy and people skills are as necessary as tech skills. We touch upon the topics of data security and mobile device management (MDM). Finally, Robin shares some fascinating stories from his years of experience working in IT.

What’s the best way to learn a new skill or technology? And how make sure you got it right? In this episode, we talk about continuous learning with Laura Beatris, full-stack developer from Reaktor Amsterdam. Laura opens up about why teaching others also helps her grow professionally. She also shares her learning techniques & processes.

Jesse Luoto from Reaktor Helsinki shares his hard-earned lessons from planning, launching, and promoting dozens of side projects of all shapes and sizes. What’s the right balance between the speed and quality of your open source project? When should you launch, how to promote your work, and how to maintain it with the help of dev communities? Tune in to get answers to these and many more questions.

In today's episode, we talk with product designer Ross Langley about the feeling of belonging. We talk about change — whether it's changing your career path or moving to another country. Ross walks us through the practicalities of relocation. About different working cultures, in Finland and the US. About dealing with the pandemic, impostor syndrome, and difficult clients. Ross opens up about his experience of burn-out and how he recovered from it. We know that it's common for people in the tech industry to move places for work, so we hope Ross' story will help you.
