Software engineers are in a position of great privilege: if we can’t hold ourselves to account, what are we doing? Almost any software engineer put in a difficult position can get up and walk into another job — “it’s not my decision” is not

I live in central London and pay a lot of rent, but I disagree, I don't think it's possible to compare London rents to New York. Certainly, the average rent across the entirety of London might average out at similar levels because

out of interest, did you consider a SPAC at any point and if so, what were the reasons for/against? For people (like me) with a very negative perception of SPACs (a vehicle through which a company that can’t go public the “proper” way

I should say, for the avoidance of doubt, despite my negative tone: I think you’re in a good position, Product Management has a low bar for transitioning — and greatly benefits from soft skills — and so as long as you’re in the right organi

I used to think this but I don’t agree any more. A factor is a factor: your service password + your password manager password = 2 factors. Yes, if someone compromises your password manager then you’re in a bad position but that’s not what s

The experience you’ve outlined of Product Management is not good: Product Management lives and dies by it’s ability to deliver in a high-impact way — “trying to get our first sale made” is not a good phrase to hear from a Product Manager, n

So in your scenario, it’s reasonable to subject monkeys to suffering in order to test new anti-histamines that humans have decided they don’t care about enough to test? If we can deliver a potential 1% improvement to the effectiveness of an

I think that if the animal testing is so important because it’s fundamental to the future of the human race, you will absolutely find people willing to participate in early medical trials: after-all, we already do! I’m sure many people here

SPACs are, in practice, a Hail Mary for companies with little hope of ever going public the traditional way because they’re just not that attractive to real investors. Therefore, if a company goes public via a SPAC, you should assume they’r
