Kiro is from Amazon, so Conway's law in action?


> In Sweden I've seen quite a few businesses sprung up for that, collecting overpaid rent through a legal firm.

This seems like the bizarro world version of American debt collection firms, cool!


Bonus is a very significant component (often the majority) of comp that gets cut when you're under a noncompete in these kinds of jobs. Yes I understand that's a "world's smallest violin" problem at these scales.


It's not pronounced "jraphics interchange format", therefore hard G
