Is technology a driver of culture?
Do people move to companies to work with the latest tech? Are innovative and interesting projects a big draw for in-demand tech talent? If desirable candidates flock to businesses does that create a company culture that is always focused around the latest technical developments? Alastair doesn’t think so, he laid out his reasons why in the podcast.
‘No, not really. It’s not the product your building that matters. I think its the flexibility and freedom within a project to innovate.
So, for example, our tech stack is pretty ordinary. It’s not bleeding edge but its certainly leading edge. But, we do things right, we don’t put constraints on technology. We define the problem we’re trying to solve for the business and we govern the architecture so we make sure we don’t end up with chaos. But outside of that, you can build in any way that you like. I think its that freedom that people really desire.’
