   Curious for you to go a bit further here. I’d argue two links [0] [1] have all the info a regular person needs to make prudent investment decisions. Why do regular people need your research tools? More pointedly, and I ask this as someone c

    Because the power imbalance between CTO of one of the biggest cloud platforms in the world, and a rank and file recruiter. It’s a bad look, to those of us that care. Punch up not down. Probably was a win for Microsoft Azure and its CTO thou
