Abstract:
In this presentation Paula Bialski discusses her latest book /Middle
Tech: Software Work and the Culture of Good Enough/ (Princeton
University Press, 2024). It is an ethnographic story of neither the tech
giant or the flashy startup, but the run-of-the-mill Middletech: a place
where software is built to be just “good enough” to function and workers
create and sustain a complex culture of good enoughness. After the
presentation, the author discusses the book with a reviewer, and RUSTlab
researchers discuss with Paula Bialski the notion of good enough in
their own research work.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop us a message.
Best wishes and see you soon.
