Applications are now live for the 2020-2021 @MDLF_IN Fellows class! Being a Fellow has been one of the most mind-stretching experiences of my young career. If you want to make a difference in the State of Indiana, you should apply: bit.ly/2Sb4RRv
Interesting analysis by @ossia of the @hackerrank 2020 Developer Skills Report.
I think the two most interesting stats because of their implication are: (thread)

1. 72% of hiring managers who have hired bootcamp grads reported that these grads were equally or better equipped for the job.
- Which I interpret as industry is coming around to the idea of if you can do the job, you should get the job.
Recruiting and retaining talent is job number one for engineering leaders, especially in today's job market.
We share a few ways of implementing Continuous Learning to set yourself apart from the crowd:

The challenge today isn't that resources aren't available to learn whatever you need/want to learn. The challenge is there are so many that how do you decide what's relevant?
If you’re resolving to stay relevant in the workplace this year, you might consider getting a new credential. @laurenweberWSJ reports. #WSJWhatsNow on.wsj.com/2FbyWZz

Thanks to @ElevateIN for an awesome day of learning, reconnecting with friends, and meeting new people excited about Indy Tech yesterday at #KineticIN – at Indianapolis, IN
“Workforce development is the issue of the decade for the State of Indiana” - @GovHolcomb Couldn’t agree more!
Highly appropriate but also totally by chance (I was on the selection committee) that 5 of 6 presenters at community pitch night in Anderson, IN tonight are women on #InternationalWomenDay
Congrats to @Hunckler @KevinJBailey @megyothment and entire @PowderkegCo team! Can’t wait to celebrate tomorrow with y’all.
Our community of tech professionals between the coasts is growing! Huge thanks to our investors who also see the middle of the country as an undervalued asset. @ElevateIN @StoutStreetVC @smccorkle bit.ly/2NurDzD
I’m in Hawaii and one of the car dealers here must have the same marketing agency as the “sisters of savings” in Indianapolis because he just used verbatim the same super annoying copy as them I heard a couple weeks ago – at Ko Olina, HI
