💙💛How can you support colleagues going through hell in a war zone? My latest for @TheNewStack gave me a chance to look to the helpers to learn what teammates in #Ukraine are actually asking for right now. With so much to be done, ask first. Then share. thenewstack.io/how-to-suppor…

This thread is... something worth reading if you care about tech ethics and want to know what others think about this question.

Also interested in this answer @johnchavens!
Wondering if anyone has any useful and widely recognized Environmental Impact Assessments that include latest ESG thinking? Meaning, something created in 2021 or this year? Of key interest are EIAs that orgs also use at the outset of design. Thanks in advance. #planetfirst
