My day job (also: night job) is CEO of Slack, a publicly traded company with investors to whom I am a fiduciary, 110k+ paying customers of all sizes, and thousands of employees I care about very, very much. The last few weeks have been 🤯😳😢 Here’s what it's been like. [Thread]
Congrats to this powerhouse group of Slack alumni on the launch of 20SALES. Kim, Renu, Kelly and Maggie are all extremely smart, humble, hardworking and collaborative and played big roles in Slack’s success. They will be great GTM-focused investors. techcrunch.com/2023/06/21/20…

I have no perspective on any of @pagerduty HR actions or corporate communications. But I know @jenntejada to be deeply authentic with unimpeachable integrity. She will handle the criticism and fight on to do what’s right.
Great reminder to post this outstanding high-speed sometimes-hilarious lecture by James Duane, “Don’t talk to the police.” Video is worth it. youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE
Periodic reminder from your friendly career public defender: no matter who you are and no matter what you have done or NOT done: DO. NOT. TALK. TO. THE. COPS.

In late November
When the wind has got chilly,
He appeared,
Dressed in short sleeves and half pants.
Asked if he didn’t feel cold, he replies, smiling,
“Not at all.”
The name of the man who came from the silicon valley
Is Cal Henderson

A patent that forces the TV viewer to shout “McDonalds!”, with gusto, at the image of a hamburger in order to get back to watching people shoot each other on TV is such a cloyingly American Invention it’s the sort of thing DeLillo’s editor would cut from a draft of White Noise

Last week, the Slack layoffs affected many talented and hardworking teammates who know how to build great products.
Alumni created a list for folks actively looking to add themselves. If you’re hiring, take a look. And feel free to DM – I'm here to help.

we've been supporting customers on Slack since before it was cool 😎🫡
best support experience possible is right, and we're doubling down. no better way to build relationships with your customers.

File this in the “Do things that don’t scale” category
We create a Slack Connect channel for every team that signs up (easily the best possible support experience possible)
We have hundreds of channels now, never going back.

On this day, 43 years ago: smallpox was confirmed as eradicated.
It's the only human disease that has been successfully eradicated.
An estimated 300 million people died from smallpox during the 20th century.
