When organizations scale, a common problem is that the codebase becomes cluttered, with multiple teams writing different code that accomplishes the same task.
This January, I joined Abnormal Security as a new grad Software Engineer. As you might expect in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the onboarding process was entirely remote. Prior to graduating from MIT with my BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, I had interned...
