This man married a U.S. citizen and has spent three years separated from his wife and daughter—trapped outside the country by a cruelly slow and opaque immigration system. I hope they thrive now that they’re reunited. But families shouldn’t have to suffer like this. They deserve.

Congrats to @ScottWu46 and @jeffwsurf for a job well done here. “A founder goes down with the ship.”. The story you leave behind matters more than the product you built. And when the lights go out, your team remembers how you left.

Help shape how the world sees and experiences Linear through our site, campaigns and brand. High craft, high trust, lots of ownership.

There’s a belief that AI will wipe out entry-level developer jobs. But what if the opposite happens?. If coding now means writing less and reviewing more, earlier career developers who are comfortable debugging, adapting, and prompting might be exactly what teams need.

Linear Asks now supports email intake. Set up aliases like bugs@acme.com or it@acme.com to auto-create triaged issues in Linear — no Linear account needed. Senders get real-time replies over email. Your team stays focused in Linear.

A whole post about how to get into Jules because it's so hard to get into Jules:

Proud to see Linear ranked as the #4 most-loved tool in @GergelyOrosz's 2025 survey of 3K+ developers. It reinforces our belief that great software is built when tools stay out of your way and help you move fast with focus.

RT @GergelyOrosz: I have a theory that Linear is SO popular compared to JIRA for devs becase Linear is fast (and optimizes for this) while….

This is one of the biggest challenges in early-stage hiring right now. It’s not just a comp war—it’s a war for attention, conviction, and belief. The mercenary shift is real. But mission-driven builders still exist. You just have to make the mission undeniable.

Founders today are competing not just on product, but on narrative. You have to articulate why the best people in the world should join you—not because they need a job, but because they could do anything. and this is the most meaningful version of “anything.”.

For early-stage startups, this creates a paradox:.You can’t offer the tools or the salary of large tech companies. So your only edge is:.→ mission clarity.→ speed.→ trust.→ ownership. And increasingly, that may not be enough.

There’s a growing mercenary culture in AI. Not because people don’t care about mission. But because the infrastructure (comp, GPU access, elite peers) to do good work is becoming concentrated in just a few companies.

Foundational AI labs have become the new "Google" of prestige. But they’re also the new Wall Street: elite, flush with cash, and highly competitive.

Fast forward to 2025: Large tech companies are offering hundred million dollar packages to AI researchers. This isn’t just a market shift. It’s a seismic rewiring of what talent optimization looks like in tech.

When I started in tech in 2009, joining a startup meant taking a huge pay cut. You did it for the mission, the growth, the bet on yourself (and maybe because the best-paid jobs in finance or big tech weren't hiring in the recession). Startups were for the scrappy and idealistic.

From Notion → Linear → Notion & Linear. Thanks to friends & former teammates at @NotionHQ for working on this one!

One of the best lessons in your career is not getting too caught up when things don’t go your way. I used to get frustrated when an idea didn’t land. Now, if 6 out of 10 eventually make it through, I’m pleased. Startups are messy. Managing expectations is underrated.

My favorite thing about working with AI companies is that post 8pm, they reply to Slack messages in under 5 mins.
