In our latest podcast, “F**k It, Ship It!,” we hear directly from New York Times technology reporter Sheera Frenkel, who covers cybersecurity from San Francisco. Frenkel and fellow Times reporter Cecilia Kang co-authored a page-turner called An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook’s Battle for Domination, which has been called “the ultimate takedown” by reviewers.
