While I personally enjoy solving puzzles on a whiteboard, if that's the only way you measure engineering candidates, you'll be missing out on a lot of good hires.
Our goal at Neo is to identify America’s most promising CS students and help them become tomorrow’s tech leaders. This year, we’re rethinking the tech interview, making it more personalized and equitable: you choose how you’re assessed. (Thread 1/...) neo.substack.com/p/a-more-in…

@AcquiredFM is one of my favorite podcasts, and Mark @Canlis is one of the most insightful people I know. A pleasure to listen to them talk to each other!
Canlis closed their storied restaurant and opened three (four soon!) new no-contact restaurants.
@djrosent and I were so inspired by their story that we completely changed @AcquiredFM.
The world doesn't need M&A glory stories right now, but inspiration - that'll do just fine.

Great thread Kirby!
Just used @FreshChalk to find a water heater repair solution, used the top recommended outfit, ended up buying a $3K water heater.
This model (social proof for high trust home/personal svcs) may have failed in the past - but a lot has changed since Judy’s Book et al. <thread>

A great write up about the state of SMB web sites by @adamdoppelt
1/ Today I’m nervously hitting the publish button on a big project. For the past month I’ve been obsessively analyzing over 150,000 small business websites to find out what makes them tick. That’s roughly 1% of all small businesses in the US.
