Simon Hettrick @sjh5000 talks about @HiddenRef and how the RSE community broke new ground for software engineers and the work that still needs to be done ... e.g. the 5% Manifesto !
A massive Thank You to everyone who participated and supported the Hidden REF competition and campaign! We received 113 submissions in 19 categories and are now working to carefully assess your incredible contributions, as we prepare to celebrate each of these achievements.
