Linear

[Urgent] Project priorities & micro-adjust priority You can now set priorities at the project level. Rank projects by their importance and ensure that the focus is on your most significant streams of work. We're also introducing the ability to micro-adjust priority whenever issues or projects share the same priority level.

I've always been an admirer of how Linear build software – they're entirely unafraid to break with convention and blaze their own trail. A few weeks back, I had the chance to talk to Sabin Roman, an engineering manager there about the principles and practices behind how they work as a product and engineering organization. As expected, there were a heap of interesting practices and articulations I've not heard before. A couple of highlights for me: 0️⃣ They've introduced a "zero-bugs policy", which essentially aims to tackle bugs at source, and circumvent the normal process of pushing them to a backlog. Sabin explained how they think of do-it-now vs do-it-later not being zero-sum: customers will be markedly happier not having to live with bugs while you wait to prioritise them so fixing faster makes a material difference. ✨ They ask every engineer to find and surface a quality/design/UX issue within their product every single week. They use this to instil a culture of sweating the details and caring about design. Mandating is equal parts about improving the product and aligning the company on what they care about. It's clearly working – their product looks and feels great. It's a great convo, with a lot of useful and actionable advice. Link in thread to the full episode.

My first podcast, it was really fun! We chatted about how we plan out work at Linear, how we keep the quality bar high, our zero bugs policy, and incident management. Thank you Chris Evans and Lisa Karlin Curtis for welcoming me.

My favorite part of the new homepage is the logo row with companies that are building with Linear More product teams are switching to Linear (several public companies and some of the biggest AI companies are migrating their teams right now)

"You will ship your org chart, so make an org chart you want to ship." Our Head of Product Nan Yu spoke at Figma Config on Conway's law and why you should design an org chart that respects your product's unique character.

A new home for your projects. We are adding a new Projects page that acts as a single entry point for all projects in your Linear workspace.
