I've heard a few times that learning new tech is only a distraction. Especially early in your career when you should be nailing the basics and improving on what you already know. Well, if this were the case always, everything would still be built in Fortran. Somebody had to learn a new technology somewhere along the way to get to where we are now.

It's true... sometimes new tech turns out to be a flop (security issues, not a large enough developer base, etc.) but many times it can introduce efficiency, speed up production, and improve quality. What's the line between investing time in new tech vs. sticking with what you already know?

It's this exact reason that our team at Facet has introduced a new weekly livestream called Tool Talk. Learn about new tech straight from the mouth of an expert. Save yourself hours of research. A member of the core team can tell you exactly how it can improve personal and professional projects.

In this case, Burç is someone who has tons of experience using Bazel and Google Cloud Spanner not only personally, but also professionally in a cutting-edge and demanding environment.
