HOW LINEAR BUILDS PRODUCT

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Unlike many tech companies, Linear doesn't employ product managers or cross-functional teams. Instead, it has a single head of product. Rather than setting metric-based goals, it prioritizes a company-wide north-star objective. In contrast to common practice, it doesn't rely on A/B testing for decision-making. Furthermore, its hiring process includes a paid work trial, and the company operates entirely remotely. Impressively, Linear has maintained profitability for over two years, spent a mere $35,000 on marketing, and experienced minimal employee turnover.
