I write tech articles about things I love. I also run DevSpotlight - we create tech content for tech companies. If you need tech content, or want to create tech content, reach out!
That's a great question. And the answer is - I don't know! These are just 5 trends that I think you should keep an eye on.

One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.

As a general rule, I see "Things you MUST know to xxx" or "Things you SHOULD learn to xxx", my experience is that it's always false. You don't really must and you don't really should.
