Practitioners first
Everyone here ships in their domain. Editors are still authors. Authors are still building.
Honest over impressive
If we don't believe a tool, framework, or claim, we say so. The audience can tell.
Small surface, deep work
One newsletter. A handful of roadmaps. Each one shipped at a quality bar most teams never reach.
Low ego, high care
Nobody fights for credit. Everybody fights for the reader. Both can be true.
Five roles. One studio.
Each role is a real seat with a real partner. We don't post listings to harvest résumés.
Editorial
Don't see your role? We hire contributors on a rolling basis — single-piece editorial commissions, paid roadmap reviews, and short engineering contracts. Pitch us →
Five steps. No tricks.
Two to three weeks end-to-end. We don't run "trick question" interviews and we don't ask for take-homes longer than two hours.
Application
A short form plus a link to something you've shipped or written. Cover letters are read; we promise.
Intro chat
30 minutes with the hiring lead. About you, about us, about whether the work is what you actually want.
Paid trial task
Real work, scoped to ~4–6 hours, paid at rate. You keep the IP if we don't move forward.
Team round
Two conversations with future teammates. Half about craft, half about how you want to work.
Offer & references
We make the offer first, then call references. Comp ranges are public. We don't lowball.
Pay well. Mean it.
Real comp, real time off, and a working week designed for deep work — not theater.
Honest comp bands
Bands published on every listing. Same band for the same role wherever you live — we don't geographically discount.
Four-day workweek
Mondays are quiet days for everyone — no meetings, no Slack expectations. Work happens in real focus blocks.
Equity from day one
Meaningful equity for everyone, with a 10-year exercise window. Vested shares are yours when you leave.
30 days off, minimum
20 vacation, 10 company-wide closes, plus public holidays. We track that you take them — not that you don't.
Twice-yearly retreats
One full week somewhere quiet. Half deep work, half walking and arguing about ideas. Travel covered.
Learning budget
$3,000/year for books, courses, conferences. We expect you to use it — practitioners stay practitioners.
