When the pandemic hit, @atlassian went fully remote. This week, the #AtlassianATX office reopened in a new building all our own. There's a fitness studio, a parent's suite, tons of collaboration space, a wealth of perks, and an homage to an inside joke ... a rooftop pool.

News from @elonmusk & @tesla today feels like something out of the 1950s: "Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week". Very different approach to what we are taking at Atlassian and here's why. 🧵 (1/5)

This whole "the NYT ruined Wordle!" thing is a great case study in confirmation bias. It also gives us some insight into human nature that helps explain how conspiracy theories work.

@jrc_collins @ZakLaughton 😆 I’m going to have to start listening for that word more when we talk.

[Dustin Martin @dustinmartin]

Settle a debate between my wife and I.

Which word sounds more pretentious: artisanal or bespoke?

This is serious business folks.

I feel so bad for my husband at times, for being married to a designer.
Him: We need a new couch.
Me: Say more about that. What problem are you trying to solve?
😬😅😂😭

Preliminary report of #Omicron says Omicron is 1.3x more transmissible than Delta, & unvaccinated have 2.4x greater risk of severe. Those with BOOSTERS: 90% lower risk of severe outcome. But it’s only early ➡️main worry is if 2 doses enough—data is coming.

"that architecture is fine I guess, but it's so... boooring"

A Netflix user will browse the app for 90 seconds and leave if they find nothing.

Thumbnail artwork is actually NFLX's most effective lever to influence a viewer's choice. A user will look at one for only 1.8 seconds, so NFLX spends huge to optimize them.

Trigger warning: COVID death.

Hi Jane. This is Dr. Bakshi calling from Edmonton. I am not sure if you're aware, but your mom Anne was admitted to the COVID ward about 2 hours ago. I'm calling because she is not doing well, and will likely not survive the day."
