Not a coder? You can still build a career in tech.

Consider roles like Product Manager, UX/UI Designer, QA Tester, Technical Writer, Business Analyst, Project Manager, Customer Success Manager, or IT Recruiter.

Tech needs more than people who can code. It needs people who can understand problems, communicate clearly and make things work.

A tech interview isn't only about getting the "right" answer.

Hiring managers are also paying attention to how you approach problems, communicate your ideas and respond when you don't know something.

Here are 5 things that can make a difference in a tech interview:
• How you explain your thinking
• How you handle questions you don't know
• Real examples from your projects
• Curiosity about the team and role
• Clear and honest communication

Confidence doesn't mean knowing everything. It comes from being prepared, thinking clearly and being able to explain your approach.

Which one do you think is most important?

Think you'd spot a phishing email immediately?

Today's scams can look surprisingly convincing. They may appear to come from a company you use, someone you work with, or a service you're genuinely expecting.

Instead of relying on whether an email "looks suspicious", build a habit of checking:
• The actual sender address
• Links before clicking them
• Unexpected requests for passwords, payments or information
• Messages creating unnecessary urgency

Being confident isn't the same as being protected.

The cloud isn't necessarily moving in one direction anymore.

As businesses deal with AI workloads, data requirements and different security considerations, many are looking at combinations of cloud environments rather than relying on a single setup.

Hybrid, multi-cloud and sovereign cloud approaches are becoming increasingly relevant as organisations think about where their data and workloads should live.

What does your team's cloud setup look like?

Not every piece of code that changed computing was created to cause trouble.

Creeper was an early experiment in self-replicating software, created in 1971. It wasn't designed to steal data or damage systems, but it demonstrated an idea that would become hugely significant in the history of cybersecurity.

Technology has a habit of turning yesterday's experiments into tomorrow's challenges.

What piece of tech history surprised you the most?

It's a fair question, and one plenty of people in tech are asking.

AI is changing how the work gets done, but the calls about design, trade-offs and what to build still need someone who understands the problem.

AI agents are speeding up coding and automating repetitive tasks, but measuring their actual value is still the hard part for most companies, human judgment, architecture decisions, and debugging complex systems remain firmly human territory.

Where do you land: hype or real threat? We'd like to hear from the people doing the work. Tell us in the comments.

AI isn’t just changing how we work, it’s changing which skills employers are looking for.

GenAI job postings are growing at a pace far beyond the wider UK tech market, signalling where demand is heading next.

For tech professionals, this could be the time to start building AI skills. For employers, it’s a reminder that the competition for AI talent is only getting stronger.

The question isn’t whether AI is creating opportunities. It’s whether you’re ready for them.

Technology doesn't stand still and neither do the people working with it.

From following industry news and developer communities to experimenting with new tools and building side projects, there are plenty of ways to stay current.

But you don't need to learn everything. Knowing which trends are actually worth your time is part of the skill.

What's your favourite way to stay up to date?

Cyber hiring just grew up.

Entry-level cyber hiring has cooled while demand for mid-level specialists now makes up 63% of core roles.

Cyber hiring is shifting from headcount to expertise. If your pipeline is still built for junior volume, it might be time to rethink where the demand actually sits.

Every developer has that one language or framework they keep coming back to.

Whether it’s JavaScript, Python, React, .NET, or something else, your go-to tech can say a lot about the kind of work you enjoy.
