Docker Announcement

Docker recently announced big changes to the licensing terms and pricing for their product subscriptions. These changes would mean some companies having to pay a lot more to continue using Docker like they do today. So…what will will happen? Will Docker start raking in the dough or will companies abandon Docker?

How valuable is education?

How do you decide when it’s time to go back to school or get a certification? What are the determining factors for making those decisions?

Full-Stack Road Map

What’s on your roadmap? We found a full-stack roadmap on dev.to and it’s got some interesting differences from other roadmaps we’ve seen or the roadmaps we’ve made. What are those differences?

Resources

• Full Stack Developer’s Roadmap (dev.to)

Bonus Tip: You can find the top dev.to articles for certain time periods like: https://dev.to/top/year. Works for week, month, and day, too.

Where does your business logic go?

Business logic should be in a service, not in a model … or should it? What’s the right way to do this? Is there a right way?

Are the M1/M1X chips a good idea for devs?

Last year’s MacBook Pros introduced new M1 processors based on a RISC architecture. Now Apple is rolling out the rest of the line. What does this mean for devs? Is there a chance you will regret purchasing one of these laptops?
