Digital inclusion is an essential value for modern life," shares Jessica Sibley, CEO of TIME, who sat down with several international leaders passionate about digital access for all. As experts discussed the digital divide last month at the United Nations General Assembly, one thing became clear: infrastructure is needed to close the digital divide. At Harbor Link, everything we do keeps this goal in mind, from our construction projects in the DMV to our partners assisting in providing connectivity for our communities.

The third in our series of tech talk pieces. This one focuses on how to attract and retain key employees as your business starts to take off….

Look out for the recording, folx - well worth a watch. This was awesome, and I couldn't have agreed more with all the points - each one of them forms at least one regular soapbox moment for me, heh, and has for years :P Thank you, Victoria MacLennan and Donald Christie <3 I'd also add a couple of points: I think that we also need a lot of _non_STEM people in tech. The ongoing #tech grifts / rugpulls / disasters of the last few years (including current #GenAI hype) have shown just how damaging narrow techbro-type focus can be. We need a #diverse array (literally) of people in tech, from different backgrounds, including the social science, arts, community and so forth. Plus, of course, not all tech roles are technical (although I'd love to see technical folks also taught non-tech stuff, like basic #ethics, to widen their context). And I loved it too when Donald Christie pointed out that #coding is based on weaving, and that bringing things like crafting into coding works well - of course! We're #embodied beings, after all, and so embodied cognition is hugely powerful for us :) Can't WAIT to return to Aotearoa and continue looking for how I can contribute to the country I love, in this sort of space <3
