Dear community,
Happy Friday. In my conversations, I came across a couple of points I want to highlight here:
1) I believe some members here are from non-IT backgrounds trying to make a transition. I would suggest spending time and learning about what agile is and the difference between agile and named frameworks. Also, try to understand the…

@sameer good tips Sameer!
yep, AI is here to stay!
One can either embrace it and level up their skills;

Going on fully remote for four years and hybrid a few years before, I agree on the pros and cons. Apart from working in my PJs with my dog sleeping under my desk to focus on team, company, and clients – I have seen the following work:
