Did it work? Anyone?

Yup - short for SAlly BIlly ANdy Zildjian

s/Slack/Zulip

85% no?

This backstory seems strange. You definitely would have used seats.aero or point.me if you really know P&M.

We[0] have made this. Fully self-hosted. Confluence search is a particularly consistent pain point.

[0] atolio.com

Can you tell me what travel system allows that?

Wrong person

We can help find them

Huge congratulations to JKB, Frode, Kim, and the rest of the Vespa team! We are infinitely grateful for all of your help and advice. We are lucky enough to have Vespa as the foundation for our developer-focused enterprise search product.

Having worked with both Solr and Elastic in past search companies, it’s incredible to be able to deploy into Fortune 50 enterprises without any doubts about stability and with all the benefits of a cutting-edge hybrid engine.

Oriana I think

Too many Daves

Picking a product that you personally use, love, and would pay for helps a lot

All of it. (the financials are what matter most) Check out “The Great Game of Business” which does a great job of explaining why.

The only things that helped our kids learn to sleep (which took us several years to figure out):

- hot shower (not bath) before bed

- immersion school in another language

- sleep training

HTH, congratulations, and good luck!

Thought about it but decided to go from engineering -> sales. Thought it would be useful somehow and that turned out to be true.

I believe it is a WA corp.

I read “no open PRs”

raises hand

You’re spot on.

Check out Partake’s IPA - up there with Athletic but 10 calories

Gruvi’s sparking white and rose aren’t still wine but are great!

For Zoom, that home/launcher screen can be closed so you can switch to your video without having to do the above. Realized that after being annoyed for weeks.

No. For us, an easy litmus test is "if one of our people had to move home to care for a sick parent, would we want to reduce their pay by $50k?"

Obviously not, and if you don't do it in that scenario, you don't do it in any scenario.

For reference, we're entirely distributed, no offices.

I believe it was the NeXT logo, not the Apple logo.
