Love the 20h work week!
adrianpike 9y ago
> 20-hour work week Wowza, that's amazing. I'd love to grab a coffee sometime and pick your brain on how it's working and any pitfalls you've found - I'd love to be able to implement something like that in my next startup.

  Below it says 20h of remote work, so that might just be that.
  - aknosis 9y ago
    Technically it says 20 hours of billable work. I'm no consultant, but sometimes 20 hours of billable work is much more than 20.
    - niallwingham 9y ago
      Oh yeah... Noah's old blog post mentions billable time, but our stance has since evolved that a work week is just 20 hours, billable or not. If we're doing internal work for the company, we still track and time it to make sure we aren't going over our limit.

    20 hours of remote work, but that's all the work we expect. The job is 100% remote. We really believe that the 40 hour work-week is antiquated when it comes to the tech space and that having people sitting in a chair 9-5 doesn't do anything to help us be more productive.
    - goshx 9y ago
      That is awesome!
    - iurisilvio 9y ago
      Totally agree with this. I always did 40 hour work-week, but recently had a child and reduced to 20 to manage his first months. I produce almost the same, but now my rss feed and youtube queue is full. Just lost my time doing nothing.
- ncallaway 9y ago
  Sure, if you're in Seattle I'd be happy to meet up. We also get to the bay area fairly frequently.

    Yep, I live in Ballard and work downtown - adrian at adrianpike.com!

cool model! is the salary half of a normal job or less than that?
- niallwingham 9y ago
  I can't tell if this is sarcastic? We consider this a full-time job, and our benefits and salary are that of a full-time job. We don't try to compete with e.g. Amazon or Facebook on salary but we are probably at or above the median salary of software developers as a whole. I personally make about 2/3 of the salary from my previous job.

This sounds way cool! Is there a physical HQ to work from in Seattle, or do Seattle employees all work from home/find their own workspaces?
- niallwingham 9y ago
  There's a physical office in Seattle. It's small but there should be room for at least one more ;) Of course you can also work remotely whenever you want, even if you live in Seattle.
