Learn through Blogging

I think if you ask anyone who writes a blog, the reason they start doing it is to learn. Case in Point – when I look at the content I have put out on BetaRover’s Blog over the past year, there’s a focus on the platforms I work with – but it does expand into different offshoots (I.e., it’s not all Azure Functions).  I will say, a good 1/3 of this blog are items I worked on this year, that I had to learn and figure out – and to remember them, I wrote them down.

The Shift in Team

Teams shift based on external factors – opportunities and threats. One makes them, urges them to take on more, excited for what is next. One pushes them to hide, close ranks, become insular, and worry about what may come. Every shift is an opportunity and a threat, depending on who you are and what your narrative is.
