"On a more serious note, Hightower suggested cheeky rebranding can help IT pros to keep their jobs as AI enables more, and more sophisticated, automations - if they first develop deep technical skills."
"Hightower thinks IT professionals need to go deeper and develop an understanding of technology platform fundamentals - so-called 'hard skills.'"
