We have it , but its very rudimentary. It would be nice to have a ladder with more rungs so people feel empowered to grow.

We’ve had it for decades. We seem to revisit it about every 5-6 years. In general people realize the best odds to maximize pay are leadership roles not the technical ladder. It has improved the morale and pay of key technical employees but is not an equivalent ladder and for a general industrial company it probably should not. If we were Apple, Oracle, Microsoft maybe the ladders would be closer to equal

Thoughts on self-healing applications? Any approaches or tools that look promising to you?

Does someone have advice on how they have balanced the risk/reward as it relates to introducing Open-Source Software to organization? My org is dipping its toe into the OSS world and the architecture and risk governance teams are looking to get ahead of these requests by coming up with policies and standards for OSS technology being brought into our environment. To clarify, this is not for software development and CI/CD pipelines, SDLC etc. This is for installing solutions that already exist out there (Zabbix, GreyLog, Prometheus etc.) into the organization's environment. We are looking to provide a balance on the obvious risk with the ability to move fast (like everyone else now).

As there is so much happening in the AI world. I would like to know what online courses(Udemy, Pluralsight etc) you would recommend for learning AI from the Data Engineer perspective?
