Work process

  • We take “Ship fast and break things” to heart.
  • Also “monitor your own stuff and make sure you fix things if you break something” 🙂
  • Innovation velocity is our number one priority. We have no idea what will be useful to merchants and what won’t be, so we try to ship → collect feedback → ship → etc
