The Twitter Shakeup | Cyber Monday Deals | Tech Companies That Are Hiring & Other Tech News For 111/19/2022 - 11/20/2022
Tech News
The most beautiful time of the year, and with that wonder comes optimism about the future despite the negative news headlines. Let's go over some key news headlines.
Robots In Fast Food
Automation is one of the keywords moving into the next decade as companies such as Miso states the following mission statement(2022):
"make restaurant operations safer, easier, and friendlier." (Miso, p. 1.).
At the moment, Miso Is operating in restaurants such as:
- White Castle
- Jack in the box
- Wing Zone
- Chipotle
Using robots with employees can increase pay and efficiency. Saving time with the operation of these robots, we should see further improvements to help everyone. The industry is witnessing a surge in investment as this trend continues to grow.
Code In Python Faster
With the earth speeding up, so is the need for developers who can code faster and more efficiently. For help with this, check out the website PythonCheetSheet.org. This tool is helpful when you need to complete a task and need a reference. Not only do you get easy-to-follow source code, but you also get the results of the code.
Here is a list of keyboard shortcuts you can practice with to help you in coding. I like to practice at least once daily to become a faster typewriter.
F2 : Changes/replaces all the variables(Visual Studio Code I.D.E)
Selecting a section of text and press SHIFT + TAB to move text to the left

SELECT An Interpreter In Visual Studio : CTR + Shft + P

Tech On The Move
Tech Trends
Software as a service has been an ongoing trend since 2020 and the Cv19 pandemic. A simple example would be ring central, which operates cloud-based services. For companies to stay competitive and continue to grow, it is essential to scale, and SaaS applications make that happen.
Other examples of Saas would be:
- Gmail
- Adobe
- Shopify
Another reason why the SaaS model works well is the ability to for your application to be more accessible across multiple platforms.
IT Security
IT security continues to be an issue in the hybrid work environment, with 92% of data breaches stemming from cyber attacks.
A Bit Of Humor Out Of The Twitter Camp
Elon Musk was given the name space Karen in Twitter land. Elon mentioned that only the "extremely hardcore" employees would remain.
"The hashtags #RIPTwitter, #GoodByeTwitter and #TwitterDown have also trended on the platform this week as users feared the worst following mass resignations at the company and a number of apparently haphazard decisions from the billionaire owner himself, who completed his acquisition of Twitter last month."(Lee M, Yahoo News, 2022, para. 3).
So quite the shake-up is happening within the company as "hardcore" is not something sitting right with everyone. Change is something I hold near and dear to my heart as a standard in today's work environment. I remember a time when there was a significant change within an organization. The transition is not easy, but sometimes other doors open.
For those looking into a Twitter alternative, you might want to check out Mastodon(2022),"Social Networking that's not for sale " .(p.1).
Cyber Monday Dash
Walmart is one of the leaders in Cyber Monday deals regarding laptops. Chromebook priced at low $79.00!
Best Buy has Macbook air laptops for $200.00 off:
Hopeful In Seattle
Seattle witnessed 5,900 tech jobs vanish, and the layoffs look like a reality according to the Seattle Times Business(2022), "Tech's woes don't seem to have infected the state's broader job market, which still managed a net gain of 5,400 jobs in October, despite the losses in tech." (para 4).
The hospitality industry witnessed growth, while companies like Amazon may have more layoffs in 2023. Despite the bad news, there has been overall growth since the dot-com bust and the great recession in IT.
So, the layoffs are not as bad as some sources make them seem. Always remember to stay on the cutting edge in a constant state of learning and adjusting to change, and your chances of success are very high.
Colorado is witnessing 1,000 new tech jobs in the Pikes Peak area with a 1 billion dollar investment project. The project details are unknown at the moment and but will employ 597 employees.
In closing, don't lose hope; stay diligent and happy coding!
