Tech Meetup Inverness
It’s a busy week for tech events, including LeadDev, Codex Community, AI Builders and Rust and Friends. It’s great to see so many events being scheduled.
The Jobs Board is looking healthier, and I am finding more feeds to monitor for postings. If you find jobs or opportunities that you think I should share with the community then please do let me know.
