A lot of people are complaining about Zoom meetings. You know what's worse? Commuting 1-2 hours each way to work to have face to face meetings all day. Get home when your kids are already asleep and repeat 5 days a week for the next 30 years. Sign me up for the Zoom meetings.

Twitter is more powerful for work opportunities than LinkedIn because instead of being judged by your pedigree you're judged by your thoughts. Which is not only a better way to hire but also a much better way to engage with people in your profession.

Recruiting is the most valuable org in your company. Recruiting the right people can 10x your $$, hiring the right Engineers 10x your product. A 10x Recruiter is the highest value thing you can hire for your company. This is why Recruiting needs a seat at the leadership table.

Tech companies need to think through what happens in Jan 2021 when you ask your employees to come back to work and a percentage of them (15-20% my estimate) say they are only willing to work remotely now? I'm curious how HR teams and leadership teams anticipate handling this?
