DDK Pod

DDK Pod Episode 5 – This week we kick off a three-part series on Ethics in the IT industry and discuss the ethics of common working practices in tech companies. ‘Crunch’ has become synonymous with the ethically mirky practice of requesting, or is some cases demanding, that staff work unusually long hours to get video games released on time. But the truth is this problem is not isolated to the games industry. We discuss this and how companies can improve on the outdated organisation structures which lead to this kind of working. Also covered is our pick of the IT industry news and a few recommendations for our listeners.

What is DDK Pod?

DDK Pod - The Podcast where three guys who founded an IT company talk about IT industry related topics and things that interest us.
