If Athens is such a great tech hub and doesn't just build commodity software, feel free to mention below any company you know working on cool technologies, has an impact and offers a decent work-life balance.
Big or small, new or old, popular or entirely unknown.

Trying to drink a stout to relax after a long day and at the same time learning from her all about recipes, ingredients and Rails models needed to model all that, go figure! @banditaras ♥️ 🚀

I really agree with both these takes from Effective Software Testing by @mauricioaniche:
1. That simple code won’t guarantee no bugs, and is not a replacement for testing
2. That the more you write tests, the less effort it becomes to do so.

@PanosJee Too much money also led to:
1. Founders taking money off the table before their startup was even slightly profitable
2. Making people believe that it's OK for a company to lose tens or hundreds of millions every year
3. Staffing for minor inconveniences not actual pains

The crypto collapse gels a thought I’ve had for a long time: Silicon Valley VCs erred by shifting investment away from nerd technologists to highly articulate hucksters.
The last decade didn’t build solid companies, it made Crypto Boy Bands.

And of course, the only reason for technical debt and codename bloat is always management wanting more features. Never because "let's add this yesterday's unproven but cool technology that solves no problem, but makes us happy"

I think one can objectively say that over the last decade, the complexity that exploded in tech didn’t always impact the product’s bottomline in a meaningful way, but optimized for certain org structures and engineering practices, which benefited engineers more than the company.

@GergelyOrosz They have experience running a 4 people team but are 100% confident that they could run a 10k or 100k company with billions in revenue.

At better tech companies, meritocracy is a given, including pointing out incorrect arguments your boss made *with facts*. And yes, I’ve seen this happen in public enough settings (eg all hands).
A leader wanting to have a culture of meritocracy would handle this different.
English
@GergelyOrosz feel totally justified to strongly express their opinion on matters they have no clue about. People with no idea what a budget file is or believe P&L is a fashion brand know exactly how a company should be run.
