When we started work on @linear, we felt real-time sync was a core functionality we had to invest in from the get-go. It turns out sync was important, but not for the reasons we thought. Read on.

@artman Curious, how you decided what to keep vs discard once the scope got too broad?

Internally, this UI refresh wasn't straight forward as a project. It started with me disliking consistency problems and lack of visual queues on what you're looking at in Linear. A small team was formed and started to explore a vast space of problems. Too vast in hindsight, and good changes were intermingled with controversial changes. At some point we had to split out the good parts and hand the rest of the ideas to a new team that would have a more tight focus on "just a visual refresh" and not changing the information architecture. Sometimes you need a bit of a mess in order to clean up your mess.

Linear Interface Refresh A visual update designed to reduce noise and bring structure back into focus as the Linear product continues to evolve. Rolling out today.

I give it 12 months for folks to realize that they e simply forgotten about what makes a product good. When you move so fast that everything is a blur, you don’t realize that you’re driving in the wrong direction.

When it comes to AI agents / AI tooling + coding, I hear an awful lot of talk about: Efficiency Iteration speed / PR output rate / lines of codes produced I hear zero mentions about: Quality Customer obsession This will bite back, and it probably already is...

@jorilallo Wasn’t there a national bill preventing states from passing their own AI restrictions?

Getting tired of this is dead trend. The pendulum is swinging too much to the opposite side. Instead of declaring all previous workflows dead, how about we evolve them to suit this new world of AI agents. Prototyping is great and its fantastic that you can do this with much less effort now, but how about you still sit down and *think* about what a good feature entails. It's not one or the other, its both.

this thing about open source projects making their tests private you're either open source or not - part of that is enabling a successor to show up for net benefit of the world making that intentionally difficult is fine but then it's something different

One of the few things holding enterprise companies from moving to @linear is migration anxiety. But migration isn't a cost, it's a gift. You finally get permission to leave behind years of process debt, outdated dashboards, and workflows nobody remembers why they existed in the first place. Build the engineering org you actually want, not the one you inherited.

You are not going to believe the results of my groundbreaking research. RAM is faster than disk.
