Underworld, Sneaker Pimps, Massive Attack. What's getting the most burn on your playlist right now?ĩ0s Electronica. The right song hitting at the right moment can instantly change my mood, and I’ll often be playing something in the background during meetings and zoom calls. What's your best tool for managing stress? Without them, we’d be lost, and since they’re all accomplished developers, the amount of empathy, support, and feedback we receive daily is one of our greatest advantages. The jump from 3 to 8 team members is a critical one, and I’m constantly humbled by the talented folks that chose to join us in the past year 😊 Who or what inspires you most?ĭefinitely our community of Battlesnake players and developers.

What was your greatest accomplishment in the past year?Īs a person? I taught my daughter how to blow her nose, which is astoundingly difficult to explain to someone who’s never done it before.Īs a founder? It’s cliché but I’m very proud of the team we’ve built around Battlesnake. It’s irrationally difficult to hand over the reins to something you’ve worked and fought so hard to build, but that is often required to reach the next stage. Battlesnake is a small yet mighty team, with incredibly capable people in every role.
Probably holding onto control of smaller decisions for too long. What was your biggest failure in the past year?
Every instance of this is unique, and immediately recognizable. Not a single word exactly, but I love the moment when a developer first understands what Battlesnake is and their brain starts firing on all cylinders.
Family battle snake software#
Haha, I really hate the term “no-code” 😅 It’s used to describe an arbitrarily specific class of software tools and abstractions that aren't particularly novel, just hard to describe. I love building, and I like seeing the results of what I’ve built. Seeing an idea come to life! This can be a new project, feature, or even a new team or growth initiative. Not much these days, I’ll take whatever sleeping hours I can get! 😴 What brings you joy? I also encourage our team to do the same. It took me some time to become comfortable creating protected family time in my schedule, but it’s become very important to me.
My afternoons are reserved for deep work like writing, brainstorming, or -if I’m lucky- coding 😊Īt 4 pm I’ll break for kids’ dinner, the bedtime routine, and then spend a few hours working most evenings. We try to schedule any synchronous meetings in the hours following, usually up until my lunchtime. Our team is distributed across North America, so our daily standup is earlier than most to accommodate all time zones. My day begins at 5:30 am when I get up with the kids and get them through their morning routine. What's a typical day like for you, from wakeup ‘til bed? Our flagship game, Battlesnake, helps senior and intermediate developers deeply explore new tech in a way that is self-directed, challenging, and fun for their friends and their families. We build competitive games for experienced web developers! What does your company do, for who, in plain English please!
