    Very excited about this launch but i'm particularly excited for this new sub-brand developed by one of our designers (Erin McKnight). She has expanded our universe!

    I'm excited to share that I'm hiring product designers. We're a small team, taking a crack at some of the most established mass market software paradigms. We're in a unique moment where we have the opportunity to reinvent in production - we're not doing research, we're shipping.

    This show was so "realistic" because the writers really did their homework. They toured SV and interviewed people at different companies, including one I was at. The most fun meeting of my life was one where we got to share crazy stories while they took notes and asked questions

    Happy to share that I'm hiring another brand designer to our team. You will get to make stuff all day, have a lot of creative ownership, move quickly, and help us build a brand around knowledge, discovery, and curiosity.

    Although UI engineering is often seen as an afterthought, I consider it existential. Unlike mocks, it represents the design that customers actually experience. Excellent UI engineering establishes quality, creates delight, and drives development velocity. Come work with us.

    We are hosting an event at our office in SF and want to create a space to come together and talk about design. Much of design history and inspiration is captured only in books, making it difficult to discover online. So, bring a book and share something. Join the waitlist

    It's such a joy to bring this new product and brand to the world, because it's full of novel moments. It opens up so many possibilities for experiencing the internet - do it yourself, delegate, or collaborate. This was a massive labor of love from everyone involved. I hope that
