Currently watching people use the product I’ve played a role in building and cringing inside on how they’re attempting to self-solve the issues they encounter. 😬

I love these sessions, but also… 😬

THREAD ON TWITTER AND META LAYOFFS 🧵 I think we are underestimating the importance of these mass layoffs. These companies have long been heralded as the examples of a “future of work” that would gloriously work for high skill workers, especially those with a STEM background.

I’m such an idiot, I’ve figured it out.

Any ideas from anyone on what I can check?

@phil_bennett Interesting observation.

We’re definitely using our time onsite as more of a social club than a collaboration hub.
