I was woken up last night at 3am with a Pagerduty message "data is being deleted". This is a nightmare situation for any engineer or founder.
Team is working hard on disaster recovery caused by a bad migration, please bear with us. Post-mortem to follow
Earlier today, Linear experienced an outage and data loss incident. We have restored service and are actively recovering lost data. Below is a status report we shared with affected customers.

Last I checked, Basecamp hasn’t shipped anything meaningful since 2020’s Hey announcement other than a scandal and few bad takes?
This is perhaps the biggest secret to the productivity and viability of our two-person teams at 37signals. All our web designers work directly with the native materials of HTML, CSS, and usually even a fair bit of JavaScript and Ruby. Not in Figma.

I find it silly that people consider joining early stage startup “risky” with salary upwards of 150k. Sure, company can fail but they rarely fail overnight and you have ample time to start looking for another job. It’s not risk, it’s just opportunity cost and you’ll learn most

Unspoken truth about starting startups for technical founders: do not expect to write any critical path code after first two years if you want the company to be successful. Exceptions do exist but not for really for CEOs. But building the company can be also fun, just more

What next, a location checkin app?
Whether you are on a trip, at a party, or just hanging out, you just:
1. Create an album with a time and place.
2. Pick your mode: Magic (uses Shine’s AI to decide what is shareworthy) or Manual (you select photos to share).
3. Invite others to the album.
