@linear can you please make your mobile app’s UI nice? The title floating over comments is kind of annoying

I think @pdotcv has heard “make the Linear logo bigger” from me approximately 47 times.
Oleg@olegcoada
As a designer, I’ve never heard: “Make the logo bigger.” or “Make it pop.”
English
@olegcoada Can only assume you have never done OOH of you already start with the logo massive.

We build Linear to be the definitive source of truth for product teams. This write-up on how Sierra is AI-pilling their company shows exactly how that foundational layer matters in an automated world.
They use Linear as their backend. When a task lands in the system, their agent (Pinecone) automatically triggers, pulls context, and takes a first pass.
Mature software systems aren't going away. The best AI workflows treat them as the infrastructure.

We wrote up how we've AI-pilled Sierra. The centerpiece is an AI agent named Pinecone that the whole company uses for everything from business analysis to writing code. Pinecone now generates 70% of our PRs and automates hundreds of tasks every day to quietly handle work no one explicitly prompted. sierra.ai/blog/ai-pillin…

One of our core principles is to focus on doing one thing better than everyone else before focusing on other things. That thing is documentation.
We will *never* beat @linear at their game, so we built an incredible Linear integration instead that marries docs with tasks. Same with our Granola integration.
Customers have their preferred tools, and enterprises don't want "everything apps." They want integrations.

You know a company is starting to lose the plot when they start publishing nonsense comparison pages. Who is juggling Linear, Jira, Rovo for AI, and Loom? 😂 (we still haven’t published a single comparison page)

@zachtratar @hunterhammonds @linear I agree enterprises need it. :) That's why we shipped an agent platform over a year ago with agents built by Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Devin, Sentry and many more: linear.app/agents
And you can use Claude Code or Codex in Linear Agent as well: linear.app/coding-sessions

@hunterhammonds @linear Notion has all of your context!
Also Notion works with many types of managed agents. For enterprises especially this is a critical need.
So it's actually quite smart. :)

What level of misguided would you need to be to use this over @linear

If you’re going to do a tech podcast in 2026 please do yourself (and the rest of us) a favor and do something different, unique, etc. A new format. Super high production quality. A guest who hasn’t been on every other show. The baseline is too high now. Everyone does video. Tools are inexpensive. Products like Riverside, Descript, etc are so good that the out of the box episode is good no matter what. So you need to go above that. You need to aim higher. And you can! There are so many unexplored formats. Don’t be afraid to get creative. Zig when others are zagging.

We didn't sandbag our ARR targets, okay? We just strategically anticipated that AI would accelerate our business so fast we'd look like absolute geniuses by July.

If your 2026 roadmap and forecast from January still applies today, you’re moving too slow. You should have thrown it out the window by now. Welcome to H2

I recently sat down with @joelle_emerson on Below the Surface to talk about Linear’s focus on building a culture where people can do the best work of their lives.
There's a lot of pressure on startups to grow by adding more: more people, more hours, more features. Linear’s approach is different. We compete on quality rather than sheer output.
Joelle and I got into how that plays out in practice: how Linear thinks about headcount growth, how we hire, and how we keep teams focused on the right work instead of just doing more work. Thanks for having me, Joelle!
Joelle Emerson@joelle_emerson
Most companies think growth means more. More headcount. More hours. More features. More everything. For @linear, one of the fastest-growing enterprise SaaS companies in the world, growth means focus. In episode 2 of my new podcast, Below the Surface, I talk with Linear COO @cjc about how the company created a winning culture through ruthless focus. This philosophy shows up in everything they do: 🤝 In how they hire: with a rigorous process designed to understand whether they need to open a role in the first place and then, whether someone is truly right for that role. 💻 In how they build: not by shipping every possible feature, but by doing the things that will be most meaningful and transformative for customers. 👩💻 In how they work: with hours that make sense and a deliberate commitment to preventing burnout so people can stay and do the best work of their lives. It’s easy to confuse long hours with impact. To mistake more activity for better execution. To assume scaling inherently means adding more people, more process, and more complexity. Linear offers a unique perspective on how to scale non-linearly, by creating the conditions that allow talented people to do meaningful work. I've been a fan of Cristina's for over a decade and learned so much from this conversation.

@adelwu_ We hosted a dinner once where a tech CEO showed up on time for drinks and then bailed before we sat down for dinner. Didn’t tell anyone. No text, no email. Just disappeared and we all had to wonder if he was coming back to sit down at some point.

Filtering by square footage drops a massive chunk of SF inventory because landlords of older buildings rarely input that data on Zillow. There are over 700 one-bedrooms under $5k right now. I’ve lived without a dishwasher for years. It’s completely fine. We absolutely need to build more housing, but a couple making $365k who can’t find a perfect unit isn't the displacement crisis we need to solve.
English
Re: "Anyone who opens Zillow can see there are hundreds of 1-bedrooms available for less than that right now"
For a budget under $4k, there are currently 23 1 bed apts that are > 750 sq ft, and 112 1 beds that are > 500 sq ft. Only 40 of these have a dishwasher. Zillow doesn't have a filter for in-building laundry, but at least a good chunk doesn't have one. Another slice is garden/basements converted as 1 beds that are in extreme darkness
If you increase the budget to $5k, the numbers become 66 and 329 for respective sq ft.
"hundreds" is literally a few with a lot of asterisks. The city simply doesn't have enough housing with adequate amenities (or ample space for a couple)
English
When I moved to SF in 2013, I was making $100K a year. My boyfriend and I found a 1br apartment for $3,800/mo and split it down the middle. As a percentage of my income, I was paying more for rent than the couple profiled here could easily rent a 1br apartment for.
It seems to me that the real issue with the article isn't just that it ignores the root cause of rising prices, which is our systemic failure to build enough housing. It's that the writer chose a bizarrely unsympathetic focal point.
There are plenty of people who genuinely cannot afford to live in San Francisco anymore. The starting salary for a public school teacher here is around $70K. Librarians average about $85K. These are the people who actually keep the city running, who anchor communities, and who are being priced out by the market.
Instead, the piece focuses on tech workers making well over $180K who gave up their housing search because they couldn't find a place under $5,000 a month after three months. Anyone who opens Zillow can see there are hundreds of 1-bedrooms available for less than that right now.
One reason for this framing might be the narrative allure of the "AI boom vs. traditional tech" friction, but it ends up sounding incredibly out of touch. San Francisco has always required trade-offs, and it has always been expensive. But if we are going to talk about the crisis of affordability, we should probably focus on the people who are actually struggling to survive, not those who are just struggling with expectation management.

As OpenAI and Anthropic prepare to go public, San Francisco tech workers making six figures say they cannot compete with the new A.I. elite. Some doubt they can afford to stay.

No, I actually lived in Palo Alto when I started working in SF. The commute wasn't ideal (45 min Caltrain +
walk each way), but it was workable. I've been living in SF for 13 years now and I live here because I like it. East Bay is definitely more affordable and it's easy to get to SF if you're near BART on both sides.
English
The anecdote wasn't meant to validate $4K as a reasonable baseline for the average person. It was to show that even during an earlier peak of the city's tech boom, making it work required a level of financial discomfort that today's high earners seem to view as an existential crisis.
English
@cjc this is a fair point (and one I agree with), but the opening anecdote is unintentionally revealing. the 5k apt example isn’t representative, but the 4k apt is?

@kurissuuu Add in US startups with European founders to that remote-friendly group :)
English
Maybe I’m way off, but it anecdotally feels like European startups have embraced remote work far more than American ones?

@ryanahall_ It had a den, so I'm sure some enterprising folks could have morphed it into a 2br. Looks like it last rented for $4150 in 2021.
