Interesting thread about the hiring trends in high tech with a distributed teams culture consolidating month after month.
In Q1 2019, 39% of Stripe's hiring was outside Bay Area and Seattle. Last quarter, it was 74%. I think the rate at which tech industry is going global is still under-appreciated, and that this will be a big tailwind for the world over the next decade.

Everything we come up with is a reflection of what we've seen, heard, and experienced. This means if we want to develop better ideas, we need to expose ourselves to new experiences, gain new skills, make new connections, join new communities. justinjackson.ca/explore

The #SnowflakeIPO has been such a big thing today that also my iPhone stocks app crashed when trying to add it to my watchlist. Congrats to #Snowflake for the amazing journey they have shown so far, competing with some big giants there, thinking big and building it right.

America has always been at its best when we pull together in common cause. The challenges we face will require sacrifice, but we all have a responsibility to do everything we can to keep one another safe. If you don’t absolutely need to leave home—don’t.

While Italy is on quarantine, the Italian Air Force flies a single jet, representing the virus, to meet other jets that stream the colors of the Italian flag while Pavoratti's Nessun Dorma that has the lyrics "we shall overcome" plays. Breathtaking. 🇮🇹❤️
