Being busy with work is a good thing.


It's also a good idea to take a break now and then to study up on what's trending in tech to make sure we're pushing our skills to the edge, in the right direction.


Work smarter, not harder, as they say.


Now, with automation, no/low-code technologies, and practical artificial intelligence tools blasting onto the scene we have a mountain of data, trends, and viewpoints to think and talk about. Almost too much.


We wanted to take a deep breath and linger at a higher altitude for a bit and ponder where we coders fit in with this bright new future. Take a listen to a recent podcast we found down below in February's Heads Up article.


When you're done, come back and check out our articles on the best Typescript, data fetching in javascript, and thoughts on the future of Web3 and more down below.

Heads Up


Is Technology Making Us Redundant?


Are we on the brink of a tech takeover? In this podcast episode at Smashing Magazine, Vitaly Friedman sits down with Tejas Kumar to discuss how far artificial intelligence has come and whether humanity is at risk of being pushed aside.
