GitHub Sponsors and The Future of Work

As I'm reading this blog post today from GitHub, I am so grateful and reminded of how the future of collaboration and innovation is closer than we think.
https://github.blog/2020-03-24-getting-started-with-github-sponsors/

Soon, people will be employed by contribution and we will no longer have the "packaged" salary or the hourly wage. Since online repositories like GitHub timestamps code committed, pushed, forked, etc., employers and potential employers can have more say over who to hire for certain parts of a project they will pay for. This sounds like a crazy idea considering how much effort goes into building a project with a team of individuals. How much crazier with an unaligned set of contributors where one might only be on the team for a few minutes and another for a few weeks? Well, if you consider how AI is on the rise, then this idea is not as crazy as some may think.

As I continue reading "The Future is Faster than You Think", I am growing my understanding of how to prepare myself for this future of work in a globally competitive society.

I wish you all the best as you continue to grow and prepare for our future, too.

Good Luck!

Microsoft's Visual Studio 2019 v16.5 - now available

Visual Studio 2019 v16 has some new cool stuff!
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-2019-version-16-5/

Why it's being released as "2019" in "2020", I have no idea and find it strange. I wonder if I should wait for a 2020 edition, lol?

Enjoy!

GitHub's mobile app - finally!

I'm so glad to finally see this. Downloaded and will be trying it out. I remember downloading a mobile GitHub app years ago (like 2016) and not being impressed. A few of the apps I tried were just frustrating because I didn't want to see everyone's feed but just my own updates for personal reasons.

Anyhow, let's see how smooth this operates over mobile. Thanks, GitHub team!
