At Airbnb, we also started building the library with symbols but noticed that it didn't work, at least before Sketch 3.5 or something. In our case, we want that people can change the symbol sizes (eg. you need to fit in more content in

I'm not sure if this is the case, but I remember reading somewhere than in order to keep your trademark, you have to show that you defend it (ie. bully other companies with the same name).

Depends on the stage. Early stages the difference can be 1000-10x. Later stages the difference is much less, 10-1x but usually by then companies start issuing RSU's not options. RSU's are stock given with the current valuation (eg

I think this rings somewhat true designers. However like any advice, it's very generalized and won't necessarily apply. I definitely learned a lot working as a freelancer and in a agency solving different kinds of problems. The st
