Dan Luu leads the day with an interesting look at the effect of markets on discrimination. Not surprisingly, this post stems from the ideas of discrimination and diversity in the technical industry, but it is not entirely focused on that. Johanna Rothman gives us an excellent post on architects as servant leaders. Much of the topic can relate to anyone in a leadership role as well. Amazon announced the general availability of Amazon WorkMail. It will be interesting to see how this affects the landscape of hosted services like this.
