hell yeah brother

incredible example of the confusion faced by any CCM teen who was paying attention. “huh.. i listen to bands with righteous and powerful messages, which are increasingly difficult to reconcile with the culture they exist in”

for a second i thought those lotus roots were giant smiley fries. scrub daddy tempura

after listing our product designer job some bay area guy was like “you guys are idiots, product designers make 4x this salary” so i had to point out that this is designing actual products, not crypto web apps. literally living in a bubble lol

we'll probably start reviewing applications next week, interviews a week or two later, hopefully making an offer before Christmas for a January start~

oh MAN thats good

kind of uncanny how much this looks like gwobs

well the downside being that it needs more context to avoid misinterpretation — to anyone inclined to assume the worst, it just looks like we laid off a bunch of our oldbies. when in reality we know that it’s because we’ve grown a ton 🥲

the role is for a designer to oversee the (physical) products we sell. this mostly boils down to graphic design

charlie do i look like i know what im doing! i spent the first half of my life designing web 1.0 websites and forum interfaces!!

as a corollary to that, its worth noting that we started in 2008, so we've had our noses to the grindstone for 17+ years, and honestly feel like we're just getting started. very fortunate that we've never had to pause to consider the 'opportunities' constantly spammed at us by private equity goons

"fbi" is actually what we call our business intelligence department, lol

wait there was a lighthouse?? lol

DAMN dude, congratulations to you and the whole crew!

for any potential applicants who want to know more about us: bsky.app/profile/did:...

as of now, we've got about 150 employees worldwide. and we've got pretty great retention too – about 40% of our employees have been here for 5+ years

we run our own warehouse, mailroom, and customer service in-house, because we like working with people. this is also why generative AI has no place anywhere in our pipeline.
