Are we going to be OK? I am asked this, as a cofounder, in many different methods by many individuals, every day. Individuals have a boundless desire to hear that they are OKAY. It makes better material than anything on HBO. We hold an all-company videoconference and set up a slide that says “We are OKAY.” That slide is better than Game of Thrones
And we, suggesting our little software studio, are, up until now. My cofounder is a real war refugee from Lebanon. He guards the company as if it’s a town under siege. Now his fear looks more like knowledge. Since we are a village under siege. Workers get on a big videoconference, dozens of them in little panels onscreen, and share their houseplants. Kids, pet dogs, cats, birds, and partners wander in and out of the frame.
