In this episode, we question the IT talent pipeline. We really work through boot camps and how we are building talent and skills for the generation of IT workers.
We ask some key questions like: Are degrees necessary? Can you teach these things quickly? How do we actually learn the skills that are necessary to build resilient systems? And what would it look like if we were creating certification programs, real certification programs, like we have in other trades?
We talked about 5G, factories and edge infrastructure.
They are very interconnected because they live at the network edge and are sensitive to how we need to route traffic.

How the heck are we going to connect all these things together?
