NYT is an expert body on software development now?
- AugustoCAS 3y agoI cannot say about NYT, but a lot of newspapers have amazing tech teams. The tech team at FT has an excellent reputation. Unfortunately, some tabloids also have really good tech teams, but I shall not name them because they sell toxicity.
- sam_lowry_ 3y agoI once lead the tech team at a smaller news outlet. Software developers join the news and media business because there is a lot of interesting high-load work, the competition in the business is fierce, so engineering tends to be frugal and good. Journalists usually own the copyright to their writings, which by extension applies to software developers working in the same business. Unfortunately, the pay is below the market, people come, enjoy coding, beef up their resume and github profiles with open source code straight from the workplace and go.
- petercooper 3y agoI'd say they're well above the median tech company if there were such a measure. The NYT might be a media company, but it's one that ships constantly, at scale, and over long time periods.
