We talk about Brandon’s travels, our new hire, and our company retreat in Italy next week. We also discuss our slow velocity and how we plan to increase shipping momentum.

We chat about how RenderATL is such a stellar conference, give an update on hiring and the technical interview process we designed.

Brandon officially stops coding, now that Blake has taken over all his coding responsibilities. We talk about our completely broken hiring process and how we are fixing it by starting from first principles. And then we rave about how Superhuman has changed our email lives (we never thought we'd be *that* person).

We discuss our sponsorship of React Miami, the outcomes from that, and how we are evaluating ROI. After some other product and company updates, we talk about switching our Webflow website to Makeswift. And the tradeoffs of code vs nocode marketing sites.

Being a founder is an extreme exercise in focus, prioritization, and discipline. This week we're feeling this more than ever, with so many things to do. We give updates on hiring, Blitz Toolkit, Flightcontrol product updates including preview environments, and comment on the Redwood 1.0 release.

This is the final week of this YC batch, so we reflect on the past three the months, our fast paced fundraising process in the last two weeks, and where we go from here.
