Ooooh, that's an interesting place to explore! It strikes me that there's unmet demand of tech needs in lefty organizing, and locked up supply of tech workers who wish for more values aligned opportunities. Separate from the question of _how_, I do wonder what unlocking that could unleash for us...

Please do hit me up if/when you return to this, or any other subjects I might be useful for tbh. I really appreciate your writing! (But yeah def next year, regardless of topic, as Sept-Jan are a black hole of surgery and recovery for me.)
