What DevOps is all about

DevOps
What it pays: $135,000 to $170,000

Walking the fine line between IT and business is what DevOps is all about, says Cirri, and developing open and productive communication between technical and line-of-business departments is a critical skill. DevOps professionals can have a variety of skills, both technical (programming, networking, software development) and soft (communication, marketing, sales, negation) and the more experience these pros have in either or both areas the higher salary they can expect, says Cirri.

Amos Tarfa - Had the opportunity to meet Dr. Ben Carson

Hello Amos!

Yesterday 8th May 2014, Amos posts  on his facebook wall the beautiful experience of meeting Dr. Ben Carson. Awesome I thought!

Here's what he posted,

Had the opportunity to meet Dr. Ben Carson yesterday. I was reminded of the importance of giving even when you will not receive anything in return.

Amos Tarfa It was pretty cool meeting him in Minnesota. The name of the movie about him is "gifted hands." Here is one of the interesting things he said. Using smart phones and the internet, we can get answers to certain questions we have but if we do not equip ourselves by reading before people ask us those questions then our mind will be unable to process at a deeper level. Essentially that is what he was saying. He was encouraging people to set aside time daily to learn just because they want to learn not because of anything else. I gave him a copy of my book and showed him the section where I talked a little about him. I read his book THINK BIG around 2005 and so it was nice to finally meet him. We should also remember we all have our gifts and talents and we should find ways to use them. Dr. Carson has retired from the medical profession now

Here's what I liked that Dr. Ben Carson said to Amos, and I quote

" Using smart phones and the internet, we can get answers to certain questions we have but if we do not equip ourselves by reading before people ask us those questions then our mind will be unable to process at a deeper level." 

- Thanks Amos for sharing this beautiful experience

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE TECH SAVVY

Worried about your longevity as a worker in the fast-moving tech industry? What you need is some inspiration from John Sloan.

"ReadWrite: What about advice for those just starting out?
John Sloan: No matter what technologies is being taught when a freshman enters university, they will almost certainly not be the ones being taught when that senior graduates. And whatever technologies that student learns will not be what he ends up needing expertise in when he enters the workforce. Continuous, life-long learning isn't a buzzword, it's a requirement."
