Can we build a list of the actual nerds who care? Need it for my future recruitment needs lol.
I think its a direct reflection of the fact that most people really prefer to go-go-go and not spend the time up-front thinking about what their project even is, why it matters and is it worth dedicated resources toward…
"I feel like we could leap ahead a decade if people could divorce "we use language, and it uses language so it is like us"," Or maybe just maybe... the thing should be much better designed around the human. That's how…

I did a degree in comp sci but my focus through my career is at the intersection of product design, economics and corporate finance/valuation whilst working with software engineers. Im beginning to realise people who…
I strongly believe increasing the rate at which one produces code misses the point. If engineers already know up front with clarity what they need to build, and, the leadership are very focused and concentrate resources…
