Great learning opportunity for yuppies
Great learning opportunity for yuppies
- Young engineering culture, with lots of smart people from good schools.
- Engineers are very open to new, blazing-edge technologies, offering lots of stuff to learn.

Engineers are focused more on implementation than on the user interface. We have UX people, but they generally don't chime in on every single feature. Time and again, I've been shocked at how frustrating it is to use our own product.
