Episode 272: Non-Violent Coping Mechanisms
Being a MacAdmin is significantly more difficult now than it used to be, and it’s getting harder every year. How does one cope? Keep up? Stay informed? Train oneself? Find the answers? Deal with the extra stress? Stay in tune and aligned with the rapidly-changing IT landscape as it shifts (sometimes under our feet).
