Ep 35, On Karma, Meritocracies, and Getting What You Deserve

Update: 2017-10-02

Description

We like to think that people get what they deserve, that their good or bad karma will catch up to them. This is true even of logical thinkers like programmers. We like to think that developers who work hard and ship good software will be rewarded and that good leaders will be promoted into management. In this episode, I talk about these ideas and whether or not they're realistic.
