Props to @nikitabier ... it is quite something to go into a 15-20 year old code base....ANY 15-20 year old code base, and act as quickly and nimbly as he has in making a variety of changes that certainly appear to be adding a ton of user value (and associated use metrics). Very

Love seeing this throwback behind-the-scenes post from the early days of a now centi-billion dollar company (including what is surely the pre-handstand-pushup @patrickc's left arm in the shot here šŸ’Ŗ).

One Saturday 12 years ago, Stripe had a massive support backlog so we held a ā€œhackathonā€ to clear tickets all day. I spent my weekend answering emails and somehow remember it fondly. Forgive the Instagram filter. It was of the time.

Karri has always reminded me of @zoink in many ways, including but not limited to - a careful thinker. all responses are calm and considered - an artisan-like focus on Design and Purpose - no shortcuts. no edge or far corner of the company/product are unworthy of his attention

Happy to share that @linear has raised a Series C at a $1.25B valuation, led by Accel. I’m proud of how far we’ve come while staying true to our way and values. In this next stage, Linear will be the purpose-built tool where teams, AI, and agents build software together.

It's both fantastic and annoying to see how quickly @DanielLurie has whipped SF back into shape. I realize there's a ton more to do, but the fact this seemed like an intractable problem for years to the previous administration(s) is bonkers in light of how much Lurie has already

"Deel's alleged spy locked himself in an office bathroom when confronted by court-appointed solicitors on Friday" Probably not the best reaction. If true, you can imagine this guy getting a text from a burner phone later saying "I thought we agreed to go with righteous

Rippling sued @Deel today. Our lawsuit alleges Deel cultivated a spy at Rippling & orchestrated a long-running trade-secret theft. The spy searched ā€œdeelā€ in our systems 23 times per day on avg, letting him spy on Deel’s own customers who were considering a switch to Rippling.

I'm sure nobody involved in the decision was long ADA because that is an OBVIOUS CHOICE to stockpile as a strategic reserve for the United States of America! (pour one out for Cardano's stated goal to "redistribute power to the margins"). Come on.
