You don’t see a ton of twitter high-fiving about PEOs, but …@remote delivers again with an incredibly complex product packaged neatly to make your life easier. Congrats to the team @Jobvo @marcelo_lebre on this important launch.
Remote PEO is here - this has been in the works for a while, no third parties, no headaches, no drama, just HR and Payroll as they should be.

~3 years ago I posted this and hoped it might get @karrisaarinen's attention. We still believe in the power of controlled growth and it's cool to see the @linear team sticking to their instincts as the business thrives.

Working with @taylorotwell is a daily reminder that you can balance intensity with humility. Had fun sitting down to discuss how he constantly puts community first, why *not* raising money would have been selling out, and what makes @laravelphp "the antidote to complexity"

3/4 To me, the Linear Way is about first principle thinking to find the nuance in your business: Linear strikes the right balance of quality vs. speed, product intuition vs. customer feedback, and being Finnish outsiders while also Valley insiders.

2/4 @linear embodies this approach to durable growth, and in year 5 is well ahead of plan. The care this team puts into every product decision + customer interaction sets it apart. They’ve created mystique around doing things the “Linear Way”.

The 1st time I met @karrisaarinen we talked about the “8 year rule” -the concept that great collab software companies take ~8 years to hit $50m ARR, then just 2 to add the next incremental $100m. Focusing on the quality of inputs in those first 8 years sets you up to compound 🧵.
