  • UpNext: Picking trends in tech / deciding what to invest in learning

    Dan Kelley ’99 (Political Science, German), Engineering Manager, Meta, will share his perspective that software engineering remains a less mature discipline than many other kinds of engineering and is constantly evolving. As software powers many aspects of the world, software engineering is not just evolving, it’s expanding. If you let your skills atrophy, you might find fewer job opportunities than you’d like when you go looking. But with the rate of change and finite time to learn, how do you decide which trends to jump on?
