TwitterFacebook

These days, pundits galore are proselytizing about the Future of Work. Depending on who you ask, the robots may or may not be taking over, leaving us mere humans pondering how work fits into our lives and whether we’re going to be eventually rendered obsolete.

Just look at the stark contrast in tone between these two headlines: the Wall Street Journal’s White-Collar Robots Are Coming For Jobs versus Wired’s Chill: Robots Won’t Take All Our Jobs. Who should we *really* believe?!

The truth is there isn’t one easy answer. What we can do is prepare ourselves to move into technical careers required to create and manage the robot revolution. Case in point: AI is one of the fastest growing tech sectors, and companies are hiring. Read more…

Flu season is still here — fight it with this sale on humidifiers

TwitterFacebook

It’s not just you who felt “a little something coming on” right when you thought flu season was behind you — so did millions of Americans across the country.

It’s true: flu season is far from over. There’s a more severe strain of influenza spreading across the U.S. at the moment, and everyone is at risk — including the lucky ones who have already been slammed with the flu once this year (sorry, but it’s totally possible to contract it twice in a single season).

So go ahead and get vaccinated (if you haven’t yet), keep your hands clean, chug water, get lots of sleep, hit the gym, and eat your greens. And if you want to be extra careful, invest in these humidifiers to keep the air in your house fresh and moist. They’re all on sale for an extra 15% off with the code MADNESS15. Read more…

Learn all about this AWS competitor with these cheap online courses

Anyone running an enterprise business is worshipping at the feet of Amazon Web Services. But in the midst of all the hubbub surrounding AWS, what about other options? 

Microsoft’s platform Azure flies under the radar when it comes to fast and reliable cloud computing services, but pound for pound it easily keeps up with its more widely touted competitors.

As with other cloud computing platforms, Azure enables users to store and process their data on remotely accessible servers maintained by a third party (in other words, the “cloud”). Cloud adoption has accelerated over the past few years, as companies increasingly outsource the expensive task of maintaining in-house IT infrastructure — and Azure continues to quietly gobble up market share with an unparalleled 154 percent yearly growth rate. In fact, Microsoft itself estimates that 95 percent of all Fortune 500 companies are already utilizing Azure as a cloud computing solution, including Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler AG and online fashion retailer ASOS.

It seems like tons of people nowadays are “pivoting” into programming — you know, quitting their jobs to enter coding bootcamps and emerging as newly christened (possibly enlightened) developers ready to do their civic duty. No wonder, considering both Indeed.com and Engine Yard cite six figures as the *average* salary for developer roles. It certainly pays to become a programmer, but considering the plethora of different languages out there, where’s an aspiring coder to start?

Here’s a little secret: The lists of the most important languages for developers rarely change all that much — and JavaScript is usually near the top. Read more…
