A few days ago I started looking into what my future career might look like. I’m sure you have done something similar in the past. You fall in love with a company or how it operates you start consuming everything about it.
I’ve done this notably with 37signals, and lately, Linear. To me, they are the embodiment of craft, dedication, and reflection. I find myself often wondering what the day-to-day might look like if I were to be so fortunate to work in one of these companies.
The great thing about both companies, is their ability to communicate. I can’t say much about the internal comms, but I can only assume they are at least as good as their external.
Reading their material, understanding their ways, and hearing about their outlook on work and life, has a way of shaking my bones. I realize that I’m not always giving all I could, and just wish I was in a place where I could. But that’s true at all. I am in that place. I always have been. I just tend to forget.
So once again, I’m desperate to be more. To be the best. To earn a seat at one of these amazing places. Once again, I’m motivated.
