1.5 hours for a tool like Slack is major. Lots of productivity lost (or gained depending on how you view Slack) and thus $ impacts at companies that heavily rely on Slack for internal/team comms

Tell that to Github, Shopify, Gitlab, Zendesk etc that have been doing fine. How often do you hit ‘that certain size’ when velocity starts to degrade anyway? X works well until it doesnt… is not exactly a compelling argument. That can be sa

This is IMO why Tesla is dominating the EV space - the combination of great software with the hardware, although the recent software update irked a lot of people and is a few steps backward. For the longest time touch display and navigation

Odd to see a bunch of 1-10 sized startups have director and vp of engineering roles. I’m assuming there is a CTO at those companies as well but I would have expected efficient team comp for that size to be one CTO 1 CEO 1 CPO one or two sal

Which begs the question - why not focus efforts on those, rather than bet the company on an unknown like the Metaverse? Is Meta getting too distracted?

This. People forget markets are forward looking. Forward guidance matters more than a beat/miss on estimates. Zuck is also kind of saying that their slice of the pie is getting smaller due to competition like Tiktok. That just kills se

Standups are normally short, and meant to be short so people don't ramble on and everyone can go back to their work. I hate standups because it's mostly treated as an agile 'ceremony', and that there are better ways to r
