No, Kamala Harris isn’t the official candidate of the Philadelphia Eagles – and the city’s ads didn’t get hacked. "This was not a digital breach," an official told Technical.ly's Katie Malone. Instead, the false bus shelter signs were physical posters wedged between the screens and plexiglass -- aka street art, or as the city termed it "vandalism." https://lnkd.in/eRDvwKhA

The tech organizing movement in Pittsburgh is young, but it draws strength from the city’s union legacy, writes Sunny Mills. Now president of the union of data analysts working on Google's Shopping Data project but employed by Indian contractor HCL Tech, Mills was initially surprised by the movement to organize: "The unions I was familiar with were in dangerous steel mills and coal mines and were preoccupied with avoiding workplace injury. Drinking my free latte in one of Google’s manicured 'micro-kitchens,' unionization seemed like an absurd proposal." Then Mills encountered the "two-tier system." For example, Mills says, Google's US offices are closed President’s Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but HCL had refused to recognize them as holidays, forcing workers to use PTO to stay home. The union changed that. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eq5Yxw2S

"I was surprised by the disconnect between the educators’ enthusiasm to incorporate AI into learning versus their lack of optimism around how — or if — the school would be able to fund any new initiatives." Check out Tech Life Steph on AI and academia: https://lnkd.in/eHwgTA7f

Some Philly kids spent their entire summers playing video games — and their mentors couldn’t have been more proud. Sarah Huffman checked in with esports hub Nerd Street to get the lowdown on their latest programs, which include a partnership with pro sports team the Philadelphia Union and workforce development org Philadelphia Youth Network. “All the same skills that they’re getting at a traditional sports camp, they’re getting at our esports camp,” said Nerd Street coordinator Ydian Velez. https://lnkd.in/eP46NfNB

The death of coding bootcamps has been greatly exaggerated, writes Holly Quinn. Many of last decade's unscrupulous certificate mills have shut down, but smaller nonprofits aiming to help people get into tech jobs are still thriving (we see you, Zip Code Wilmington). And overall, the bootcamp industry is expected to continue to grow 15% a year through 2030. Per a survey of 500 grads, the median cost to attend is between $2,500-$5,000, and a post-bootcamp salary bump of $10k-$20k was most common. Hear from bootcamp alumni Lyn Muldrow, Barry Wright, III, and Khalil Saboor: https://lnkd.in/eEgRbTeY
Do coding bootcamps still lead to tech jobs in 2024?

Emily chatted with some small biz owners to find out what drives them, check it out below. And keep up with it all by joining our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/gK6Qu3mG
