Notion is a VC backed company.
Less snidely, it's probably a lot more interesting to poke at AI integration than building another REST API. I bet there are more programmers putting their hand up to "explore that area" at the stand ups.
- amelius 4y agoSince when do programmers get to work on stuff they want to work on?

- wittycardio 4y agoYeah we've lived in a good job market. Can't assume it'll last forever but giving programmers some autonomy is likely the best way to move a software company forward so I wouldn't be surprised if that continues
- ketzo 4y agoI doubt they walk into work every morning and pick from a big board on the wall, but if you don’t have some influence over the kind of projects you’re working on, you should get a new job.
