Ask HN: Corporate workforce IT Tech skills for future
Hello,
I'm a middle technical manager at a largh-ish private agribusiness conglomerate. Not a tech company, but of course we use a lot of tech. My area is platform, i.e. Windows, Linux, middleware, and cloud. Out of our 3K+ servers, probably 90% are currently Windows,but that's somewhat by choice (we could probably run 50/50 with some effort over time). My observation, based on recent hiring experience, is that the highly technical and stoic Windows workforce may giving way to a highly energetic and creative Linux workforce. My question: would it be wise to force that ratio closer to 50/50 in order to better position for the future workforce? Disclosure: we have a few top-talent Linux admins that could take on a lot more servers. Thanks for your answers.
