Q: Which practical tech skills are worth learning now?

A: Basic security, backups, spreadsheet skills, scripting, understanding cloud storage and troubleshooting networks are all useful. These skills help at home and at work regardless of job title.

People do not need to become programmers to be more capable with tech. Learning how systems fail and how to recover from problems is already a big advantage
