Getir Gets Down (Round), UK CBDC TBD, Excel + Python = 𤯠plus where is tech's talent pool going
šš¾ Hi friends!
Bit of a whirlwind of a week for me this week with the first recording of the new season of Nothing Ventured in the bag.
Judging by some of the exploratory calls Iāve been having over the last few weeks, the rest of the season looks like itās shaping up to be pretty spectacular!
In some personal news, I am writing todayās issue from my first ever Apple device, the Macbook Air - as someone who has been a Windows / PC user for the last 30 years, this has been a tough, but rational decision for me - check out my thoughts here.
Down to business!
Today I look at:
šļø Getirās down round
šŖ When are we going to see some CBDC?
š What happens when Excel gets bitten by Python?
š Whatās going on with techās talent pool?
And remember to check out this weekās Nothing Ventured pod where we take a look back at some of our guests most passionate about levelling the playing field in venture šŖš¾
