First Remote Bootcamp: Complete ✅
After 16 weeks of full-time, remote web development training, 10 new developers presented what they've learned and built at Demo Day this month.
We are so proud of the work they've done and can't wait to see where their careers go! (1/2)

After serving APAX Software for 13 years and helping the company make the Inc. 5000, Keith Kurzendoerfer is the first to earn the honor of having his jersey retired into the rafters of our office space.
We gathered this month to celebrate Keith and all of his hard work!

If you want to start a startup, the first step is to go to business school; that's obvious from the name "business school." Once you start it, make sure you have lots of meetings, to keep everyone on the same page. These meetings should consist mostly of Powerpoint presentations.

And this guy knows a bit about productivity…especially when it comes to building successful products.
I'm in the US for the first time in 2 1/2 years, and talking face to face with people is immensely more productive than talking over Zoom. If Zoom were the default and someone just invented face to face, it would seem like an amazing step forward.

Anyone who got a C- in their HS math class will know what is wrong with this graph.
Anyone who got an A in their HS math class respectfully asks this organization to keep their 2 cents to themselves.
Be smart people. I know it's unpopular, but keep thinking for yourself.
Thanks, @JoeBiden.
Community note
This chart is deceptively formatted, showing only two data points and only a tiny segment of relevant numbers on the y-axis. More complete charts show a very different trend.
