knowing im not alone in my hatred of unnecessary regressive tech-for-techs sake brings me great comfort. we bought a new fridge 2 years ago, it has wifi but does not keep food cold, why the fuck would i need wifi on my fridge?
Quel troisième Tech & Chill du collectif hier soir, c'était absolument le feu ! 🔥
C'est la preuve, une fois de plus, que quand on met des passionnés dans la même pièce, les échanges sont d'une richesse folle.
A few months ago, we changed the way we address bugs @linear. We prioritized bugs over everything else. If you have bugs assigned when you wake up in the morning, you don't do anything else before they are addressed.
This approach felt scary and quite radical, but our theory was this: Every software product has defects and the amount of defects being found is somewhat constant. We want to build a product that is of the highest quality, so eventually all bugs will be addressed. This means that the amount of work required to tackle bugs is the same regardless of whether you address the immediately or whether you prioritize feature work and tackle bugs in bulk between feature work.
And this made it obvious that the better alternative is to prioritize bugs over everything else. The cost for doing this was that we had to spend a month or so to bring down the backlog of bugs, but once the backlog was eradicated, there was no additional cost to this approach.
Now, if we or a customer finds a bugs, it usually gets fixed the very next day.
You certainly should consider doing this at your software company.
One of the most unteachable, you-have-to-experience-it-yourself lessons:
You can just delete your backlog or your TODO list and nothing bad will happen. You won't forget the important things. They will resurface.
Taking things up a notch, we're releasing the text-to-diagram feature! 🔥
Using AI to generate diagrams from plain text. 🧠
Unlike wireframe-to-code previously, you don't need your own API token — everyone can start generating right away! 💪
