Heads up my dudes, my son needs to do work experience this summer and he's a programmer. Nearly 15, can do 3 decent languages, main in Java, been programming since 4. All he wants to do is be a developer. Anyone offer work experience these days? Two weeks in July. London or Dartford way or anywhere in between. Ta! Retoots appreciated!

I wonder if anyone in the Fediverse knows about research that was done regarding the impact of software risk to valuations of companies to be acquired i.e. start-ups?
