Digital Resources
This article lists the resources I use to support my role working in Information Technology (I have not included industry-specific resources).
Although not exhaustive, I hope these resources can help motivate, inspire, and/or educate. It should be noted that this is an opinionated list, targeting my areas of interest and focus. For example, you will see specific resources related to the role of a CTO, JavaScript, Kubernetes, etc.
