@ViableBen @scottbelsky @SlackHQ Thanks for bringing me into the conversation both on the pod and now in this thread! Happy to chat with anyone who's in the 'fight for delight' ✊

@scottbelsky 💯 We recently went deep on how @SlackHQ does this with @heatherjacket on the pod! open.spotify.com/episode/4zj4Sc…

“surprise and delight” product features are the kindling of organic growth. people seldom talk about a product doing what they expected, but they rave about whatever they didn’t expect. and yet, such features are seldom prioritized and are often the first things that get cut.

@scottbelsky Love this framing as 'kindling of organic growth.' 🔥 The team I lead at @SlackHQ is responsible for many of these moments of delight in our product. Curious to learn how other companies prioritize this type of work!

You're gonna want to follow @Superframeai to watch @DerekSteer and @NickBruun kick some ass in their AI-generated leather jackets👊 venturebeat.com/enterprise-ana…

Endlessly proud to watch @DerekSteer bring his latest venture @Superframeai into the world! 😍

How is everyone else holding up in captivity?! Indulge me in my first (and maybe, only?) tweet of the year: Share some peak moments of your own...

Peak WFH moment: I developed an ear infection from wearing Airpods for too many hours of the day👂

Peak parent moment: I just found a half-eaten ravioli in my pocket 🎉

@jazzy33ca @SlackHQ @eeismann Thanks, Jasmine! ❤️

Starting a new job looks a little different these days 👩🏻‍💻🐱 Week 2 at @SlackHQ as a Design Director on Platform! 🙌 Proud to be joining such a strong group of designers & leaders and am looking forward to sharing more of what we're building in the coming months, and beyond! 🚀

@rickysynnot @SlackHQ Thanks! The setup has been a work in progress, stand is from @grovemade as is the charging pad. Their products are 😍

@heatherjacket @SlackHQ Congrats! That desk furniture setup is on point 👌🏼 Loving the wood tones and pieces around your keyboard :) Where’s the stand from?

@CTZNChan @SlackHQ Thanks! I guess that goes with the territory, right? 😜

@heatherjacket @SlackHQ Awesome, congrats! Does that mean I should forward all product crits to you going forward? 😂

@becker513 @SlackHQ @eeismann Thanks, Dan! 💪

@heatherjacket @SlackHQ Congrats! Strong hire @eeismann

@jbrewer @SlackHQ Thanks, Josh! 😊

@heatherjacket @SlackHQ Congrats Heather! They are lucky to have you 🙌

@adellecharles @SlackHQ Thanks! The cat is really the star of this post 😹 And, yes it's light by @elgato

@heatherjacket @SlackHQ Congrats! The cat perch is priceless 👏 is that a light above the monitor?

@patagucci_girl @SlackHQ And jellybean toes! 💕

@heatherjacket @SlackHQ Awww the little sock feet ❤️❤️

@davidhoang @SlackHQ What can I say? @SlackHQ has incredible perks! 😹

@heatherjacket @SlackHQ Also, did you get a cat as part of onboarding?? 🙀

@maxlind @SlackHQ Thanks, Max! 💕 Big fan of the desk shelf—helps keep everything tidy! Ideally, my 13" Macbook would slot in nicely onto that second shelf, but the cat would object to losing her toasty perch. Hope you've been well!

@danabrit @SlackHQ @Rukmini_Reddy Thanks, Dana! @Rukmini_Reddy is a big reason why I'm here! I hope you've been well 💕

@heatherjacket @SlackHQ Congratulations, @heatherjacket ! I hope you are very happy there. I’m so jealous you get to work with @Rukmini_Reddy again. Strong women, doing strong work!
