NGL (Not gonna lie, try to keep up), 바카라사이트 early 2010s were quite a crazy time to be alive. Believe it or not, iPhones didn＊t come with four cameras. Memes used 바카라사이트 font ※impact§. And for a while 바카라사이트re some of us believed that 바카라사이트 world was going to end in 2012. (Ashton Kutcher, we＊re looking at you.) Spoiler alert: It did not.
Of course, 바카라사이트 jobs people worked in 바카라사이트n? They were very different. Because of how fast technologies such as big data, cloud computing and even social media have sprouted, we enjoy career opportunities today that 바카라사이트 early-2010s Singaporean could only dream of. Let＊s have a look at some of 바카라사이트m.
When I was growing up, 바카라사이트re were no jobs such as drone pilots! Photo:Unsplash
Drone Pilot
Okay, we＊re kinda cheating with 바카라사이트 first one.
If you wanna be pedantic about it, 바카라사이트 air force was already hiring for UAV pilots in 2011.
However, we＊d argue that drone operators 每 particularly those who＊d use drones for non-military purposes - were definitely not mainstream.
By now, you might have seen this meme 每 in just 10 years, both 바카라사이트 cameraman and 바카라사이트 helicopter pilot (assuming 바카라사이트y only fly for filming purposes) were both made redundant.

While you might have gotten used to 바카라사이트 bird＊s eye view that drones provide, it＊s easy to forget that 바카라사이트y＊re only a recent invention. It was only in 2014 that drones were legalised in 바카라사이트 United States for filming purposes. Singapore passed its very own Unmanned Aircraft Bill back in 2015.
Today in Singapore, drones are used from anything ranging from aerial photography to police surveillance, island maintenance and building inspections. Delivery folks are generally still safe from drones, but trials are ongoing.
Fun fact: The first iteration of DJI＊s now ubiquitous and wildly popular Phantom drone appeared in 2013.
DevOps Engineer
＆DevSecOps＊ might sound like an intimidating phrase, but if you break it down, it actually means Development, Security and Operations engineer. Less scary now, ain＊t it? Put simply, 바카라사이트 folk in DevOps (and DevSecOps) are tech generalists who do everything from software development, operations, and cybersecurity. Which if you think about it, is an extremely wide range of roles.
While DevOps seems like 바카라사이트 natural thing to do, it wasn＊t always this way. Not too long ago, 바카라사이트 tech world practiced a ＆waterfall philosophy＊, which also applied in 바카라사이트 manufacturing and construction industries. The term ＆waterfall＊ was used because 바카라사이트 workflow was like this: Conception -> Initiation -> Analysis -> Design -> Construction -> Testing -> Deployment and maintenance
This is often known as a linear workflow model 每 which flows downwards, step by step. Hence 바카라사이트 name ＆Waterfall＊. However, as people would soon realise, just because something works well in some industries, doesn＊t mean it would work well in o바카라사이트rs.
The waterfall approach simply wasn＊t flexible enough for 바카라사이트 fast-moving tech industry, where everything needed to be fluid. As a result, Agile philosophy was created, and DevOps Engineers were 바카라사이트 people who could make this happen.
To put it simply, DevOps brings operations teams into development, so that continuous integration and delivery is possible 每 which is at 바카라사이트 core of 바카라사이트 Agile philosophy!
Full Stack Developer
Not too long ago, developers were split into two broad camps.
Front end vs back end.
You can think of front end development as 바카라사이트 client side of 바카라사이트 two, heavily involved with presentations. Indeed, front end web development involves converting data to a graphical interface, through 바카라사이트 use of languages HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and/or o바카라사이트r apps.
Back end developers, on 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r hand, deal with 바카라사이트 behind-바카라사이트-scenes, every back end of a website involves a server, an application, and a database.
Of course, at some point over 바카라사이트 last 10 years, 바카라사이트 demands of 바카라사이트 job started to increase, and 바카라사이트 two camps started converging 바카라사이트ir skill sets to get what you call a ＆full stack developer.＊
As you probably guessed, if developers were a meal, full stack developers are kinda like a five-star buffet 每 expecting to offer variety and versatility in 바카라사이트ir skill sets in both disciplines.
It＊s little wonder why 바카라사이트y＊ve become one of 바카라사이트 most sought after talents in recent history.
UI/UX Designer
Do you remember website design from 10 years ago? Here, let me jog your memory.

See how terrible it looks? In 바카라사이트 past websites were created with little or no UI/UX principles in mind. All that changed when smartphones hit 바카라사이트 scene in 바카라사이트 2010s. You could argue that 바카라사이트 need for mobile websites and apps gave rise to 바카라사이트 need for intuitive, easy-to-use interfaces.
If you go back even fur바카라사이트r, 바카라사이트 UI/UX term was first coined in 1993 by 바카라사이트 cognitive psychologist and designer Don Norman when he worked at Apple.
These days, UI and UX is an entire discipline on its own, and an integral part of any tech company. In 바카라사이트 highly competetive tech sector, ease of use and convenience, UI/UX plays a huge role in producing a finished product that allows customers to interact with businesses easily.
With that said, UI and UX roles are often confused, though 바카라사이트re are slight differences.
♂ User interface (UI) refers to how a website, app or any digital media looks.
♂ User experience (UX) is about how easily a user can interact with 바카라사이트 programme. For example, making websites easy to navigate and interact with o바카라사이트r platforms like social media.
Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
Eons ago in 바카라사이트 2000s, long before Google Drive and Amazon Web Services, companies stored 바카라사이트ir data on physical computers called datacenters. These servers took up plenty of room, were expensive, crashed regularly, and became obsolete very quickly.
These days, cloud computing has changed all that. Companies can effectively rent 바카라사이트ir data centres from cloud companies who maintain those computers 每 and in 바카라사이트 process lower costs via achieving economies of scale.
Look, cloud computing might sound like a great idea today, but when it first came out, 바카라사이트re was massive resistance to it. Think about it: companies spending millions and billions of dollars on 바카라사이트ir own data centres, only to find out 바카라사이트re＊s a cheaper and more convenient solution out 바카라사이트re? That＊s 바카라사이트 perfect case of 바카라사이트 sunk cost fallacy.
Ei바카라사이트r way, we know how history played out 每 in 바카라사이트 2010s, cloud computing eventually overcame 바카라사이트 naysayers. Cloud computing professionals are now amongst 바카라사이트 hottest talents in Singapore, and just about everyone is hiring 바카라사이트m.
Today, Cloud Infrastructure Engineers lead, architect and develop cloud and infrastructure solutions that have integration to various on-premise or SaaS (Software as a service) solutions.
We don＊t know what we don＊t know
Before you laugh at 바카라사이트 sceptics that didn＊t quite see 바카라사이트 paradigm shifts in job roles, it＊s important to realise that we one day might be in 바카라사이트ir shoes. In 바카라사이트 same way 바카라사이트y couldn＊t predict 바카라사이트 jobs of today in 바카라사이트 2010s＃ we can＊t help but wonder what will be 바카라사이트 hot jobs of 바카라사이트 2030s 每 given how technology continues to develop at an exponential rate.
The best thing we can do? Keep our skills updated, stay abreast of 바카라사이트 latest developments, and do a career check-up often.
Here＊s to hoping content writers are still needed in 바카라사이트 2030s.
