Ummm how do you know what Slack workspace you're in? Use case: I'm in #general. Can I ask a clarifying question about $DAYJOB's (currently private) Q4 plans... or did I accidentally leak that private information because no I

This is very cool. Two things I wish: * can it be a sidebar, instead or in addition to this popup? Then it could be up all the time, or how wide I want * I wish it did tabs across windows - this only finds tabs in the current window, bu

What was the worst was the constant rejection, honestly. (I interviewed a _lot_ so it does track that I'd get 1-3 "thank you for your consideration but..." emails a day. But that didn't make it easier...)

I'm going to do a blog post on my job search in the next month or so, but for me it's been a _grind_ (that finally ended up with something, thankfully). But sneak preview: * 100 applications * 54 first round interviews * 2

I bet it was a small business where someone ("Todd Packer") did all that stuff once, when it was 3-8 people, a garage, and a bunch of leased equipment. Now they're 50-100 people, Todd burned out, and they're trying to fi
