We have kind of functional teams, design, engineering, but we really like to organize in deeply cross-functional pods. So we hire people that tend to be mutts, as we like to say in endearing ways. They come from different backgrounds with different skill sets beyond just whatever their title is.

And then we put them together in these little pods of five people and give them a prompt like, how can we help make... The experience of Shopify sellers. How do we make it easier to use their tools every day? And we give them six weeks and say, go. And they try a bunch of things and we see what happens.

It depends. But actually, it's reversed in the order we do it. So one of our first hires was a woman named Adina. And she runs a team now called the Membership Team. So what we start with is actually conversations with Shopify sellers. And we watch them use their computer. We ask them about their problems, the things they do every day.

And we actually try to abstract solutions for them based on that. So sometimes we focus on individual tools. So we built this feature called GitHub Live Folders. that if you're a software engineer and someone needs a code review from you, it'll just automatically pop up and say, hey, Nilay needs you to review his code.

And other times, we'll take an idea and abstract it to something that can work everywhere. So we heard the story from a teacher last week, actually, where she said she spends an hour every week taking attendance logs from a Google Sheet that she has and copy and pasting them into a school district-wide CMS of some sort for attendance records. And it takes her an hour. That makes me so mad.
