Affected by HashiCorp layoffs last week so i'm looking again! LMK if you have interesting leads on high-impact roles 🙏

@GergelyOrosz This thread is all 100% accurate. This was my reality last week.

We continue to build out the HashiCorp Developer portal, announced at #HashiConf Europe in June. Today our entire portfolio of products is now consolidated into this best-in-class learning portal for practitioners everywhere. https://t.co/9movlZ3ZbG

Tons of exciting announcements today at HashiConf! One big one that effects everyone: the full launch of “https://t.co/Qf24tCyzNj” which unifies all the documentation, tutorials, videos, and more for all our products into one — very fast! — place. https://t.co/LhNHBMRAtO

Super excited for this new developer docs experience! Affectionately called “DevDot” internally https://t.co/QutHfZnInM

[Mike Heitzke @heitzke]

Culmination of effort over the last many months @HashiCorp has officially launched in beta - https://t.co/ok0rt2QlSx - check it out and leave us feedback!

I've been enjoying mentoring on @ADPList more and more these days. Big thanks to them for making these connections possible ❤️ and crossing that 2500 minute mark soon 👀 https://t.co/SL739lbE3M

I'm hiring a Sr. Designer here @HashiCorp! https://t.co/q3vEG4fOX7 - please reach out to me directly if interested and pass along to anyone you know ❤️

[Mike Heitzke @heitzke]

Not really news but here’s my partner Tai and I being cute.

[Mike Heitzke @heitzke]

Still moving along with life - signed contracts on rebuilding the garage and already picked up another Cobra to replace the one I lost 😞

[Mike Heitzke @heitzke]

Anyway, here is what has been happening with my project. Little setback and probably won’t buff out.

[Mike Heitzke @heitzke]

This is a good reminder to remember the context and mental frame of the end user.

I lost a car in a garage fire last week. I got to watch it all burn down, so maybe the icon choice is a little triggering?

[Mike Heitzke @heitzke]

All that being said on hiring. Show me what you can do, how you think and where your passions are because i'm trying to find you a job too.

7) [painting with a broad brush] UX bootcamps and schools need to do a better job of providing critique on final output. People are paying with their time, energy, money and deserve to know how and where their work stands

Having looked through 111 resumes over the last 24hrs in trying to find a product designer to join the team, some thoughts: (a thread for newer designers)

[Mike Heitzke @heitzke]

6) That being said, showing no process at all and JUST UI design is just as bad for a product design opening. I need to see thought process and approach, but also need to see you understand the fundamentals of design.
