Adtech Is Not For You
Like many, I set aside 15 minutes to read Aleph’s latest blog post about the AdTech industry and what engineers should devote their time and brains into these companies. I know and respect the people at Aleph and as a person believe each is entitled to have an opinion, we don’t always have to agree.. But, as a […]
