- Had some old PC parts lying around, perfect excuse to try out @dhh’s Omarchy. Nvidia card worked out of the box, smooth install, beautiful fonts and colors, and loved the default keyboard bindings.
- This would be a surprise to many. But it's 100% true. We don't have any meetings at @gumroad. All communication happens asynchronously through Slack, Notion, GitHub, and rarely over Email. It makes working from different timezones easier.Replying to @shlAmount of meetings to ship this: zero. Amount of full-time employees to ship this: zero. VC dollars spent to ship this: zero.
- Super excited to start as a Staff Software Engineer at @gumroad's New York office! Grateful for the opportunity and thrilled to work alongside @shl and the amazing team 😍🚀 Thanks to @sampeiomichi, Ali, and the @joinellis team for making the O-1A visa process seamless ❤️
