Jonah Andersson
“Understanding the foundational principles of cloud computing is essential for designing and developing solutions in the cloud.”
Jonah Andersson, Learning Microsoft Azure: Cloud Computing and Development Fundamentals

“As an engineer, you might wield more power than you realize: the power to literally change society. It’s critical that on your journey to becoming an exceptional engineer, you understand the innate responsibility needed to exercise power without causing harm. The first step is to recognize the default state of your bias caused by many societal and educational factors. After you recognize this, you’ll be able to consider the often-forgotten use cases or users who can benefit or be harmed by the products you build.”
Titus Winters, Software Engineering at Google: Lessons Learned from Programming Over Time
