In our latest LinkLog, Sebastian talks about #failure, and how we should approach this in our learning journeys.

Meetings are a bug. Today, we shipped a fix to this bug at @Shopify.

To start 2023, we're cancelling all Shopify meetings with more than two people. Let's give people back their maker time. Companies are for builders. Not managers.
