My regular PSA that if you enjoy working on developer tools, then Jane Street is kind of an amazing place. Apply here! There's no special posting, so just apply for the Software Engineering role, and express your interests in dev-tools in a note.

I'm happy to announce a new Signals and Threads, featuring Erin Murphy, a UX designer at Jane Street. We talked about user-centered design for experts, the tradeoffs between GUIs and CLIs, and the design work she did at NASA(!?!).
