Linear

New: Nested sub-issues in templates

Linear is a startup that punches well above its weight in the speed and quality of shipping, and supporting a large number of customers (10,000+ companies) with a small engineering team (25 devs). I sat down with Linear's first engineering manager, Sabin Roman. Our discussion: https://lnkd.in/ew89pM4a We covered: • No email. How Linear handles internal communications • Quality. The “goalie” program to address customer concerns and Linear’s zero bug policy • Full remote. How Linear keeps teams connected despite working entirely remotely • Getting stuff done. An in-depth, step-by-step walkthrough of a project at Linear • Creativity + QA. Linear’s focus on quality and creativity over fast shipping  • Career ladders.

Linear is intentionally light on engineering processes when they build new products: their goal is to communicate using “principles” rather than “guidebooks.” The company manages to do this thanks to a mix of hiring engineers with strong product skills and still being a small enough company (60 people and 25 engineers at the time of writing).
