Michelle Bu the engineer who wrote this is probably the kindest person I've met in startup. In 2014/15 when I as working on DigitalOcean we decided to switch to Stripe, based in NYC I went to SF to meet the Stripe folks and get to know them a little. They partnered me with Michelle who not only went out of her way to spend an afternoon with me, feeding me lunch, and telling me anything I needed to know about Stripe, but also as a talented engineer; made me feel really confident that moving to Stripe was the right thing to do! Shout out to Michelle.
- pc 6y agoMichelle is shockingly kind and has shaped Stripe's culture very considerably in this and other regards.
- firloop 6y agoAgreed! When I worked at Stripe, Michelle was my "spin-up buddy", and getting the chance to work with her was one of the highlights of my time at the company. Strong second that she is extremely kind and embodies the best of Stripe's culture.
- cperciva 6y agoan afternoon with me feeding me I'm... honestly not sure if this is metaphorical. Did she take you to a cafe and give you literal food, or was she "feeding" you information?
