Career counselling

A short while ago, an ex-colleague from an old team asked for some career advice. I did what I could (though I didn’t think it was very useful). He was kind enough to send me a card and a (very large) collection of chocolates in return. It was a great kindness that reminded me of a great team that was always under pressure.

As the tech industry is collectively doing a lot to erase every aspect of being human from working in it, and especially any question of the vulnerability that naturally attaches to it, it does some good to remind ourselves that there is virtue in being human.
