Anyone paying a modicum of attention will tell you that the most important enterprise tech to learn in order to catch and ride the wave of enterprise IT for the next decade will be one of the following:
Notice there is no web development or fucking block-chain. Web development is a after-thought to the significance of the technical tectonic plate shifting happening in these other areas. Web dev will be in all of them. The web devs who distinguish themselves by working on front-ends for apps in these tech spaces will dominate. (Hell, they already are.) Be grateful so many brilliant, greedy people are wasting their time with crypto shit, they are creating a drought of techs in these growth areas that you can steal from them (laughing all the way to the bank).
No one can do all of those. You’ll have to pick one. But make sure whatever position you shoot for that it is related to one of these things. That is, if you want to be employed by a significant organization going into the future.
For example, I love coding, but coding stuff that help security people deploy faster makes what I code more valuable. I also want to get clusters to talk to each other with minimal latency, connecting GCP to an on-prem Kubernetes cluster in effective ways. I’m still just a “coder” in the task sense, but it’s the things I’m coding that are in a very high-demand space.
By the way, the Beginner Boost is lazer focused on the foundational skills of these high-grown tech areas:
Literally every thing is built using these building blocks these days.
