Two Years Building Workbrew, a Remote-First Enterprise Homebrew Startup (mikemcquaid.com)
TL;DR: I left GitHub after 10 years to cofound Raise.dev. After an early failed experiment building IoT developer tools, we pivoted and built Workbrew: an enterprise-friendly layer over Homebrew, a project I’ve maintained since 2009 and led since 2019. Two years in, we’ve raised VC funding, built a remote team, and have happy, paying customers. Here’s what I learned so far.

Essential Work-from-Home Advice: Cheap and Easy Ergonomic Setups (fast.ai)
You weren’t expecting to spend 2020 working from home. You can’t afford a fancy standing desk. You don’t have a home office, or even much spare space, in your apartment. Your neck is getting a permanent crick from hunching over your laptop on the couch. While those of us who are able to work from home are privileged to have this option, we still don’t want to permanently damage our backs, necks, or arms from a bad ergonomic setup.

A New Oral Culture (oblomovka.com)
I work in an entirely (mostly) remote organization. Inside that organization, I interact with an extremely decentralized ecosystem. Some of the people I co-operate with the most are in other orgs, some are individual contractors volunteers, others are conglomerations of mononymed Internet-monickered mystery-types. A remarkable amount of my and my colleagues work is intended at making this whole system less opaque and confusing.
