I'm not looking to use BlueSky in any real way for so many reasons but I have setup my posts to send over here so you don't miss my incredible writing (cross-posting with EchoFeed echofeed.app)

Asked to do something illegal at work? Here’s what these software engineers did

At FTX, Frank, and Pollen, software engineers were asked to do something potentially illegal, or to go along with what looked like fraud. They obliged in two out of three cases, landed in hot water, and now face jail time. A reminder why it’s never a good idea to go along with such requests.

Good timezones everyone we've already gone over $1000 in the first day of the St Jude fundraiser which is _incredible_ and also means we're a few hundred away from the first sticker reveal 👀

👉 stjude.omg.lol

A laptop with two white questions marks where stickers could go in each corner. Text next to them says the stickers will be revealed at $1500 and $3000
