It's been a while since I got to work with Jared, but when I did every moment was delightful. If you want a smart, thoughtful UX leader or crafter who wants to build the right thing the right way, you'd be hard pressed to do better than him.

Today was my last day at Shopify after four years working on Polaris — going to take a moment and then jump into exploring what's next. So many incredibly thoughtful, talented folks were impacted today, if you're looking or need to fill an open role we've started a resource here

A lot of exceptionally talented folks from the Polaris team are no longer at Shopify today. These people have levelled up crafters, orgs and platforms through our Design System. :legends: @JFann @RaquelDesigns @timlayton Natasha Lloyd, JJ Galipeau, Gui Santos

I spent some time working with Julia and every moment was a delight. If anybody is hiring in the US for remote Staff eng roles that can transfer a H-1B visa, you should speak to her x.com/fleurchild/status/1626…

Using pruvisto.org/debirdify/ to hunt for folk I follow with Mastodon handles in their bio already and bulk importing them is a pretty seamless experience.

I knew Cathal from his second life - working as a product owner at the BBC. I worked with him for 5 years, he was my boss for much of it. His music career was an open secret - never talked about directly but telling new hires "btw Cathal has his own wikipedia page" was always fun

Cathal didn't suffer fools gladly, but that meant he fiercely trusted and protected his team. I was happy to find a boss who cussed as much as I did. I fondly remember my incessant game of trying to make him laugh by coming up with novel colorful language.

He wore his righteous, dry-humoured heart on his sleeve and that meant I was comfortable to do so too. Thanks for that. Anyway I'm off to go listen to Viva Dead Ponies in his honour.
