We’re talking Amazon Go, Jack Ma on the future of work, perhaps the best chrome plugin for sourcers ever, a superbly presented interactive report from HackerRank, great deals for two amazing conferences later this year and a very good, if very long talk on everything you needed to know about GDPR.
Enjoy the brainfood folks!
