Developing the pipeline of technology talent is critical to ensuring the continuation of advancements and is a major concern amongst business leaders. One way technology leaders can contribute to building up the talent pipeline is to share fun, affordable, and educational resources with young students interested in STEM careers. The Forbes Technology Council interviewed fourteen tech leaders, including Patrick Emmons, Founder and CEO of DragonSpears, to ask them for suggestions on resources for students interested in the technology industry.

With the initial shock of a global pandemic behind us, we’ve had a moment to reflect on how it has impacted our teams and how we operate. We’ve learned a lot about ourselves and our capabilities in the past couple of years. There’s been so much to adapt to. Still, one thing that’s become apparent is that becoming a fully remote Agile team has created an opportunity for us to elevate our communication, accountability, collaboration, and development. At DragonSpears, we believe in having the freedom to work where we work best. Here are some tools and strategies that have allowed us to do that.

Delegating tasks is something that almost all technology leaders must do and, therefore, should embrace. Leaders must instill trust in their software engineering teams to be accountable for delivering projects.

In software development, solution architecture is the process of describing and creating a comprehensive and understandable blueprint of the solutions that meet all technical and business requirements of software teams and clients. It focuses on structuring and organizing maintainable, scalable, and repeatable code. Developers can simplify developing, testing, troubleshooting, and deploying software and create a roadmap for a complex system.

Kubernetes, or K8s, has quickly become the go-to solution for businesses looking to streamline their application development and deployment process in a cloud-native environment.

Here are just a few benefits businesses can expect when they leverage K8s.
