Top IT topics we cover
AI and Machine Learning — You’ll see plain-language guides and comparisons about roles, skills, and tools. If you’re deciding between AI and general IT, look for the piece that explains day-to-day tasks and hiring trends. It lists which skills employers actually want and how to build them without getting lost in buzzwords.
Quantum + AI — Short explainers show what integration might mean for computing power and real applications. The article about quantum and AI focuses on likely timelines and concrete fields that could change first, like optimization and cryptography.
Careers & Education — We post realistic paths for people without a degree and for those re-skilling. Expect practical moves: start with a coding bootcamp or certifications (CompTIA, AWS basics), build a portfolio, and apply for junior roles or apprenticeships. One post looks at how higher education could be disrupted and what micro-credentials mean for hiring.
Cybersecurity & Infrastructure — Simple tips for small teams and individuals, like basic hardening steps, backup habits, and where to focus if you want to move into security. We avoid fluff and point to entry-level moves that actually work.
