ONUG Event panel on the topic with industry experts from Zscaler, InsightFinder AI, Evernorth Health Services, and DevAI. AI and the Future of Work: Navigating Careers from Intern to the Boardroom When Entry-Level Roles Disappear | Fall 2025 The rapid integration of AI technologies is fundamentally reshaping career pathways in tech, especially by automating entry-level and foundational roles historically critical for skill development and upward mobility. This panel brings together industry leaders and workforce strategists to discuss the impact of removing these traditional “bottom rungs” and explores innovative strategies for nurturing talent from early career stages through executive leadership. Panelists will address critical questions around mentoring, reskilling, equitable career progression, and redefining roles to ensure both individuals and organizations can thrive in the AI-driven workplace.

This isn't your typical panel on AI best practices. It's a candid look at the future of work & how we build a workforce that thrives.

The “Late to the Party”

A cup of coffee in front of a laptop - looks calm and peaceful but IT engineers may already have an overflowing in box and tasks to do that involves fragmented tools and hopping from tool to tool takes time and resources.

Your coffee is brewing ☕...but your IT alerts are already overflowing.
➡️ What if your tools already talked to each other?
🌟 That's the power of #DevAI. We enrich your existing data, connect fragmented tools, and simplify tasks.

A judge ordered Google to share its search data. What does that mean for user privacy? The ruling in the Google antitrust trial has led to a host of hard-to-answer questions about the future of Google's search data, which the tech giant must now share with competitors. What does that me...

Anyone else worried about what this means when say Palintir decides to build (or buy) a ‘qualified competitor’ and can get access to all of our search data?

@adrianamvillela.bsky.social we’ve been trying to find the right folks to talk to @dynatrace.com about your developer program, but haven’t had any luck. Any chance you could reach out on LI (or lmk where we can reach the team privately)? I suspect you’re the right person or would know who is.

Me: why does it now say my next Jira will bill at $30+?
Atlassian: you are on the premium plan
Me: I only asked for standard
Atlassian: you’ll need to open a support ticket to change plans. We can’t do that online

All I can say is ‘wow’.

Me: My trial of Jira was useful, let me renew the basic plan
Atlassian: Great, that’s $10
Atlassian 9 days later: now pay us more for your Confluence license
Me: I don’t have confluence, please move me to the free plan
Atlassian: TY signing up for the Confluence trial. We will bill you next week

Glad to see you posting here on BlueSky. Break a leg on the rest of the tour!

Spooky timing, I was just discussing the Dynatrace MCP server with someone minutes ago. I’ll check this out.

What really frustrated me about blue iris is that since it had to run on windows, and because windows sucks, it would regularly reboot against my wishes for updates, and I’d lose a big chunk of recordings until I noticed and restarted blue iris. I finally abandoned it for ring. 🤦‍♂️

For once, my rep Roy could actually be a key swing vote, even if for very different reasons than I would like. Everyone, please take the time to call your rep, especially if you are in a red district. I just focused on the debt, loss of rural heathcare, and cuts for billionaires through gimmicks. 🤞

Lots of good ones already covered, but a few I didn’t see mentioned:
Pirates of Silicon Valley
Antitrust
Firewall

I mean, what do you expect when his gear was only level 52? 😈

I think the worst is @verizonofficial.bsky.social and Subaru who flat out refuse to remove my email from someone’s account and won’t let me opt out without account details. I’ve tried recovering ‘my’ account, hours on the phone with each, reported for can-spam violations, and nothing.

It’s a bit uncanny how bad some people seem to be at remembering their own email. I get a ton of wrong emails at several of my gmails for the same few people, ranging from spam to very personal medical details and other emails. It also really annoys me that so many companies don’t do dual opt-in.

So many amazing discussions! Thanks for everyone who came by.

I installed an Emporia Vue in each panel for per circuit monitoring, flashed with ESPHome, and then added that custom dashboard to HomeAssistant. It was great to hunt down my bigger energy users and eliminate what I could. I also added a sankey chart for daily, but it needs some cleanup now.

Picture of realtime electricity consumption with over 4kW going to AC and fan.

That’s awesome! I can in winter, and any spring and fall when the temps drop low enough overnight. When it’s running, my AC uses a ton of energy sadly.

That report format looks familiar. :) my only regret with this system (aside from wishing my AC wasn’t such an energy hog) is not getting at least one more battery. Without net metering, having to export and then reimport so much is costing me.

Since every accusation turns out to be a confession with the right, things could get quite interesting.

I think my grocery delivery driver today was vibe delivering when choosing where to drop it off. 🤦‍♂️

10/10, no notes.

I was watching max velocity on YouTube for pretty good coverage last night. He’s still on twitter, but I was ok just leaving the stream up and listening until the worst was over.

In the networking space it still carries some weight. Not as much as it used to maybe, but I’ll 💯 use it as a tie-breaker if there are multiple candidates, and the high end ones (such as CCIE) make it more likely I’d schedule a first call.
