S10 E7: Vishal Agarwal, Checkmate

If you hire people who are used to going to offices and working in a more physical, collaborative environment, and suddenly you tell them to go remote, it does not make for a winning team.

It's by far my favorite meeting, so to say, of the month. And it's absolutely fantastic. And the kind of people you get to meet. And it's not possible for me to speak with every single team member all the time, but just getting to know and learn a little bit about each one of the new joinies who works, who's working in this company. It's been great.

Oh, absolutely the latter. We've had to fight tooth and nail. There were days, Noah, where every Friday and Saturday evening, our servers would crash. Every Friday and Saturday evening. Why? Because people ordered delivery the most on Friday and Saturday evening. The fun thing, Noah, is you hear about New Year's resolution, right? There is no New Year's resolution. It's a new week resolution.
