I ran two polls on LinkedIn for 7 days to my 15K+ followers, and these were the results

- Terraform pipped the AWS CDK when it came to go-to IaC frameworks.

- TypeScript/NodeJS came out top for go-to language/frameworks.

I don’t know if AI will replace most white-collar jobs in the next five years or not.

What I do know though, is that I’ll keep learning, adapting, and upskilling to stay relevant regardless, just as I have always done.

Focus on what you can control 🌱
