    At @Replit we "seek pain." You can't learn unless you ship real product to real people and then dig into what's not working and fix it. Successful businesses are always learning and learning is often painful at first. Yet we're naturally hardwired to resist pain. (1/6)

    Sales is like tackling. It's painful at first. Making a tough ask and letting the silence hang in the air, always getting a next step, getting people to say no, picking up the phone, coolly facing constant rejection, digging for someone's why. It's learned, not natural. (3/6)

    If you like to seek pain. If the idea of being comfortable all the time is deeply uncomfortable, @Replit might be the place for you. We're all builders, the engineers and the business people. We ship. We dig into what's not working. We fix it. And we learn. (6/6)

    Hot take: @Microsoft is the most important education technology company of all time. Who did more to put a PC in every home and teach everyone to use computers? If @Replit is successful, we'll do more. We'll teach everyone to program their computers, not just use them.

    Management is like tackling. It's painful at first. Delivering tough feedback directly yet compassionately, changing your style to match your reports who are all unique, saying no to a thousand good options because there's only one best option. It's learned, not natural. (4/6)

    Programming is like tackling. It's painful at first. Solving hard new problems with no idea where to start, searching & searching for bugs when it should just work, understanding other humans so you can write legible code even when that's slower. It's learned, not natural. (5/6)

    Best career advice: - have fun - be playful - stop fast when something's not working - set impossibly high goals (you'll sometimes hit them) psst @Replit is hiring ;)

    Finally jumping on the twitter ship. I think this is a better first tweet than the angry tweet I sent to AirIndia a couple years ago and just deleted... An essay I wrote for @Replit about why everyone will learn to program! blog.replit.com/everyoneprogra…

    In HS I played football. One of the first drills on the first day of practice was tackling. You'll always remember the first time you run straight into another human. Your entire body screams NO! But you keep at it until it becomes natural. You learn. (2/6)

    At @Replit we all code (at least a little bit ;)). Brittany's a former 2nd grade teacher and went from a part-time admin to full-time sales in the past year. Check out what she's building! (a year ago) blog.replit.com/anyone-can-cod… (now) blog.replit.com/python-for-beg…
