As an IT manager (and still hands-on developer), couldn't agree more - especially comms and big picture.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much Tim, you've put me in the right path
You are welcome.
Thank you so much for discussing this topic. I thought only technical skills matter and used to focus only on that for many years.
You are welcome.
Thanks so much Tim Corey. You are a great tutor and mentor! I really do ❤ you. Thanks a bunch

You are welcome.
Right on Tim.
Thanks!
Hey, Tim. I was wondering... what relevance, if any, does BI and DW skills may have in software development? I'm asking because my last 5 years were spend in BI and support. I developed a quite strong ability with SQL, ETL and reporting. I have meetings with clients and take their requirements and translate them into working solutions. I even developped one or two apps in C# and SQL Server and support a few others. Now I have an offer for DW. In the future I would love to follow more of an applicational development path. I love both paths, though. So I was wondering if they are completelly different paths of they might interconnect. So, what I'm trying to say is that for now the development path might not be a very viable option as I have quite a bit of experience on the data path and the screenings that translate to interviews with potential offers are 99% on the data path, so while I build up my dev skills and something to show off I have to work right? hehe So, would accepting a potential DW position have any impact in the future on a dev path? And also, in your opinion, what would you say might have a brighter future right now? Data or dev? Thanks in advance!
Data and dev both have bright futures. Their futures are also intertwined. Data needs dev and dev needs data. Accepting a DW job could be a bit of a hinderance for getting a dev job, but if you put together a good portfolio, it may also be a benefit. So if you are looking for a job now, a DW job is probably the right move because it allows you to improve your dev skills.
@@IAmTimCoreythanks. I'll take that into advisement!
Hi Tim, Thank you for the great advise. Have a question about technical skills. Lately I have come across many .Net roles where many employers are asking for mandatory skills Python, kubernetes, Terraform, Message broker. Is a .Net developer expected to learn all of these for future jobs nowadays ? Your expert opinion on this will be very helpful.
Employers tend to make messy job postings. They pile on all of the technologies they use or are considering using. This means that almost no one fully qualifies for a role. That's why you apply even if you don't meet all of the criteria. But yes, employers do ask their developers to have a broad skillset (but also to have a deep skillset in their primary area, which is more important).
@@IAmTimCorey Thank you for the great advise Tim. Really appreciate your gesture of providing guidance so quicky whenever anyone needs it badly. Keep up the great work !!
Tim, please make a full course of 'aspNet identity' with wasm and new 'Blazor app' template, show the difference, if any. there a many videos of 'identity' but all of them are just overview
Thanks for the suggestion. Please add it to the list on the suggestion site so others can vote on it as well: suggestions.iamtimcorey.com/
If my boss not know c# code? How is even possible to be the owner of a development company?
As long as he can run the company smoothly, successfully and everyone is happy. Whats the point? Running a development company is still running A company.
Does the CEO of AT&T know how to activate a SIM card? Probably not. In fact, they probably have someone configure and manage their phone for them. Just because a person is leading a team doesn't mean that they have all of the skills of their subordinates. Leadership is a different set of skills than software development. That's why so many developers struggle to take the next step up into leadership.
@@IAmTimCorey 🙂👍
@@IAmTimCorey So Ceo is dependent with developers. If all developers leave the company one day, the company will close
Not necessarily. If the developer leaves, the CEO could hire a new one. Yes, non-technical people can hire technical people. Also, you could say this about any position. I have an accountant. If they quit on me, I couldn’t do the accounting. I’d have to hire a new one. Same with my lawyer, my executive assistant, my designer, etc.
