At 37signals, three is a magic number. Nearly all new product work is done by teams of three people. A team of three is usually composed of two programmers and one designer. And if it’s not three, it’s two or one — not four or five. We don’t throw more people at problems, we…
I've interviewed several people who got laid off recently. One thought seems to emerge in all of them: - "I'll never again join a company that self-describes as a family!!" Some reports are sobering:
Startup vs Big Company Dynamics Startup • Observation: Users want a new feature. • Designer (60 min later): Here are some figma prototypes. • Engineer: We can ship this by the end of the week. Big Company: • Observation: Let’s discuss our observations when Suzy’s back;…
Huge news for anyone working in tech in the US. Noncompetes are now banned: not just in California (like before), but nationwide. Very, very relevant for anyone at Amazon (which is the Big Tech that has enforced noncompetes even for low-level engineering positions).

“Coding” was never the source of value, and people shouldn’t get overly attached to it. Problem solving is the core skill. The discipline and precision demanded by traditional programming will remain valuable transferable attributes, but they won’t be a barrier to entry. Many…

When a startup is competing against a large competitor, they aren't competing with the *entire* company, they are likely competing with some PM focused on internal politics/career progression. With this framing, it shouldn't be surprising to see startups win as often as they do.
The bloated PM org is at an end. Let's elevate the individual contributor who's obsessed with crafting great products.
I've served on three boards. One was a prominent private university. One was an exceptionally fast growing company about to go public. One was a small private company that owned their niche. Every board meeting was about money. We barely talked product, customer (or student)…

One very strange thing that happened to me at Skype, where we went all-in on Scrum and 2-week sprints: Sprint burnout. I got tired of the retro & planning every 2 weeks. That as soon as we finished a sprint, we'd start a new one. Got this feeling about 8 months into sprints.

Using Vector is always a pleasure from last 3 years. Low resources, hight performance, easy to implement and operate. Waiting for domination as a full Observability aggregator and features to cover that. @vectordotdev
Very cool to see how @HashiCorp is using Vector to power Vault observability. hashicorp.com/blog/hcp-vault…

"hey bossman cool if I cut out 15 mins early 7 fridays from now? I need to pick my girlfriend up from the airport”
Perfectly said. The thing that should make you most bearish about Europe isn’t that it’s stagnant; it’s that it’s not even *aware* that it’s stagnant. And when you bring it to europeans’ attention, instead of pausing and wondering why, they reply with the very ignorance that…
The most concerning part about this is that most Europeans don't realize how stagnant Europe has now become Europeans are literally blue-pilled and are mostly concerned with climate change, immigration and the Ukraine war Nobody in Europe is thinking why increasingly everything…
