I was honored to be interviewed by Dave Webb for ComputerWorld Canada in this piece titled; IT doesn’t handle aging well (registration required)
The interview covered my dislike for how the technology field tends to throw out skills and buy new ones, rather than educate or train;
“We do have a bad reputation (in IT) as body shops, looking for two years’ experience in a six-month-old technology,”
And from a second interviewee, Lori Keith;
“without exception, classmates from the IT field were there on their own nickel”
Other industries don’t do this – why IT?
