If you're running a remote company, there's another reason (besides fairness) that location-based pay is a bad idea: it makes it harder to create a compensation structure that incentivizes high performance. If Person A is outperfo

It looks pretty comparable to wasabi from what I can tell, yeah. We made some different design decisions than wasabi from what I can tell, but the core of it is similar.

Yup, we just ended up building ours from scratch. Glad we did, in retrospect.

Better software for growth engineering teams (experimentation, analysis, etc). Existing products in this space are limited, expensive, and still pale in comparison to in-house solutions at top tech companies.

To add a competitive perspective: I'm the founder of Guilded, which is (afaik) the only VC-funded startup in direct competition with Discord. Discord was (and still is) a great product. But those that used it in the very early days wil

Microsoft used to have separate roles for dev and test/QA (SDE and SDET), and is a good case study here. Sometime around 2013-ish, they merged the SDET role into the SDE role, and made SDEs responsible for automated testing and quality

Yeah, that's an interesting point as well. Our product is for gamers, who are usually "remote" (if you can call it that), but Slack may trend towards over-fitting to highly-engaged, fully remote work if they were to do this.
