About “Digital Tech Trek Digest”

Most days, I take some time early in the morning to scan my inbox newsletters, the news, LinkedIn, or other sources to read something new about professional and personal topics of interest. I turn what I read into actionable notes in a short, committed time window, summarizing what I learned, what I should learn and use, or what is of random interest. And thus my Digital Tech Trek .

Some of my regular sources include TLDR , <a href=“https://seattledataguy.substack.com/subscribe
Seattle Data Guy, Forbes Daily , ThoughWorks Podcasts , Daily Dose of Data Science and BoringCashCow . Also Scientific American Technology , Fareed’s Global Briefing , Software Design: Tidy First? by Kent Beck , Last Week in AWS , Micro Newsletter to name a few.
