Lo guapo del protocolo que usa Bluesky es que, si Bluesky al final cambia, tú puedes moverte a otra red con todo lo que tenías en Bluesky, incluido tu usuario.

Lars Rosenquist @calvobianco.com · 2d

We all give Atlassian products shit. Yet we all use them, and the company running them appears to not be evil.

Not a bad thing these days.

[...] Si a eso le juntamos el hecho que, como desarrolladores de software, nos gusta programar, creo que podemos llegar a una interesante conclusión que te puedes llevar en el día de hoy para nuestro viaje a AI Native 👇🏽

In today’s email, I provide a guideline to help you determine if you need to pursue the certification you have in mind or if you just need something else.

#TechLead #softwaredevelopment #leadership

Should I take a certification?

It depends, as many times, but I give you a guide so you can take the right decision for your case

Marcos F. Lobo @marcosflobo.bsky.social · 3d

And you can figure this out by subscribing to my newsletter, because tomorrow I will send an email to more than 1.4K software engineers and share the solution to that puzzle

I have a very clear answer for you, get it now 👇🏻

As happens on many occasions, it depends… but not completely.

There is a way for you to know if what you want is a certification in a technology.

Marcos F. Lobo @marcosflobo.bsky.social · 3d

I receive this question many times:

- Marcos, should I take a certification on AWS? -

This is something really important, to take very seriously, because we have to target our efforts properly when we talk about our careers.

Del informe de Atlassian, se leen otros datos muy interesantes, como por ejemplo las horas a la semana que los desarrolladores ahorramos en tareas manuales gracias a las herramientas de IA. El 46% ahorra entre 11 y 20 horas a la semana en tareas manuales.

Marcos F. Lobo @marcosflobo.bsky.social · 4d

Software developers spend only 16% of their time actually coding.

Someone?

Marcos F. Lobo @marcosflobo.bsky.social · 8d

I'm looking for people who have worked or know what a "QA Enablement" is.

I would like to hear about:
- What are the main roles there
- The mission and vision of the team

Thanks in advance!

PS: Repost si welcome!

In any case, I can recommend some links for learning

- aws.amazon.com/marketplace/...

Build Learn Developer Tools

Explore top AWS tools and resources for your cloud projects. Get technical guidance, free trials, and hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies from AWS and partners.

aws.amazon.com

Marcos F. Lobo @marcosflobo.bsky.social · 7d

🟢 If your goal is really learning or becoming an expert

👉🏼 Go through the AWS labs and learn by practicing.
👉🏼 Find a job position where you work every single day with AWS stack.

Marcos F. Lobo @marcosflobo.bsky.social · 7d

🟢 If for any reason the certification stamp will open an opportunity in your current or future company

👉🏼 go for it.

Money is money, and we need it for life

Thinking about jumping into an AWS certification?

My advice for you 👇🏽

Marcos F. Lobo @marcosflobo.bsky.social · 8d

Looks like I'm pretty much the only one speaking about #ainative in Bluesky 😅

Marcos F. Lobo @marcosflobo.bsky.social · 8d

Remember the workflow:

🟢 You write the acceptance tests…

🟢 Ask the AI agent to implement the code that makes those tests pass…

🟢 Review the generated code, then iterate.
