    I’ve worked at @SlackHQ for two years. This is only my third time staying late. So, yes: you can build great things without being miserable. And if your company can’t figure out how, come work at ours.

    I still don’t understand why only one fan base in MLS is allowed to do this.
    BMO Stadium is ready to explode. Let’s do it. #MLSCupPlayoffs

    Weird because we’ve mostly built SLACK by not responding at night or on weekends.
    TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TWEET IS ABOUT HARD WORK ————- A correlation I see consistently: team members & founders that respond quickly to me on SLACK, at night or on the weekends, are the same ones that go on to have massive success.

    “We’re looking for people who want to solve hard problems,” say half the job listings, oblivious to the fact that their hard problems are mostly organizational and not at all interesting or unique.

    If I were @figma, I had a whole team just prototyping non-stop on stuff like this. AI is going to entirely erase the wall between design and code — and everyone’s scrambling to find the right interface for that new world.
    I’ve been working on a new way to make software! It’s called 42pages. it feels like a design tool: mock something up, then LLM infers the functionality, turning it into real code. now available for anyone to try!

    Personal news: I’ve decided to join this, er, dumpster rocket. And I’m terribly, horribly, entirely excited!
    if you strap a rocket to a dumpster, the dumpster can still get to orbit, and the trash fire will go out as it leaves the atmosphere. many important insights contained in that observation. but also it's better to launch nice satellites instead.

    I can’t tell you how good it feels to start a whole new job, at a whole new company, and wind up feeling like you only missed a beat or two. We’re gonna make some lovely stuff, @figmadesign.
