Desktop life

What's new with the Transistor team?


Justin has a Halloween candy hangover.

Desktops vs laptops for dev work.

Transitioning from your personal equipment and software to
stuff the business pays for.

Where are we in our Shape-Up cycles?

Our new marketing website is suffering because it's
"un-shaped work."

The benefits of working with a partner.

"I'm realizing how single-threaded human beings are."

What does Jon think of Tailwind CSS?

At what stage of a customer's business lifecycle should you
get them as a customer?

How many customers did we get because Basecamp switched to
us?

"Make software that will be worth using for ten years."

New features - how should we communicate those to customers?
