Still deciding whether I should be around here; still keeping it open until the overlords deactivate this account. Find me on Linkedin or Instagram.

I somehow feel the need to thank ChatGPT whenever I reach the result I wanted. I hope they remember this when they become our overlords.

Every day I receive @theinformation's newsletter. And every day I dream of retiring, living off the land and furniture making.

The recent news has no direct impact on Remote. Our global infrastructure and expertise means we maintain banking relationships around the world, with failovers in place, to ensure our customers have peace of mind that employees will get paid.
.@remote holds no funds with SVB.

The reason Shopify can handle sales like this is the result of years of building up their systems and learning many painful lessons. A brief thread…

A few people recently asked for advice on being offered an IC role when they were an EM or TLM or CTO before, told later they could become a manager. Every situation is different, but starting as an IC at a company, and *then* transitioning to management has some upsides:

I don't fully understand Elixir, but every time I read Elixir code I'm pleasantly surprised. ✨

Companies, recruiters, repeat after me: Free beer is not a perk. Weekly celebrations at a bar is not a perk. If one of your few selling points include alcohol-centric activities, what does it say about your culture?

As an engineer in one of the product teams responsible for onboarding employees, seeing the results of our operational team and our collaboration with them is extremely rewarding 🙏
Onboarding someone (ie. they are legally hired in any given country) is now <2 days on average, across all countries and every single onboarding, through @remote.

Holy smokes, @rachelnabors is spot on on this thread. I've learned that setting someone for success late in their career is all about empowering them to make decisions and course-correcting them if needed.
You're rarely going to be set up for success at a job. The only people who are supposed to be set up for success are interns and juniors. After that, your effectiveness is measured by how well you pivot or deliver despite the odds when things are less than ideal

What took Netflix well over decade to build and perfect, you could argue both Disney and HBO did 80% of it in a few years. App-wise, handling scale-wise, adapting streaming-wise. Shows how quickly innovative tech can become commoditised, and rare tech skills become more common.

Amsterdam in the upcoming Call of Duty is just insane and 99% the real deal, just misses the classic cyclist who calls you a 'teringleier' if you get in their way

I've been managing a globally distributed async team at @remote for more than a year now. I could write a long thread and share my tips, but instead I'll just share Remote's Handbook, which already has great resources for people leaders 📚 👉 handbook.remote.com

I miss Bourdain so much. 💔
No one can call people out right to their faces quite like Anthony Bourdain.

Holy shit the world needs less first person shooters and more of these games. @Stephen_Ddungu This looks and sounds amazing. You have my Patreon subscription, my bow and my axe. 🙇
Arpeggio!! 🎶⚔️💨 One of Stefān’s special musical attacks is the arpeggio 🎶⚔️. It unleashes a musical barrage towards the enemy 💨. However, the attack requires time to travel, hence it is best used after immobilising the enemy… ——————————— #gamedev #b3d #indiegame #gameaudio
