@HarryStebbings Congrats! Excited to be part of 20Growth with you. Let's do this https://t.co/DN6YsgN7R2

Most all of the good growth levers are very technical in nature and having a technical background is a massive advantage. Especially for marketing and growth.

4. Why Shopify Expects All Sales and Marketing People to be Able to Code

If our marketers want to create a landing page, they have to go to GitHub.

We always want people to learn new things. We will gladly teach them SQL.

Really intrigued, @alexschultz @luclevesque @onecaseman how important do you think this engineering mindset is to marketing/growth?
