How we ran a company-wide design sprint on a core part of our app experience remotely and in record time.

We know these are unprecedented times and this has called for adapting everything about how we work. We want to share the story, learnings, and tips from a recent fully remote design sprint we ran at Tegus.

Many of us in the Tegus Product Organization joined just as COVID-19 shut down all offices in Chicago. This resulted in a good amount of us onboarding remotely into what was a pretty close-knit company and suddenly all working remotely from makeshift home…

In pursuit of the most perfect Southern Biscuit.

I’ve spent over a year working on combining the collective knowledge of the internet on biscuits and my own experience exploring this simple and exceedingly simple combination of flour, buttermilk, and butter. For readers outside of the USA, biscuits in the USA are a heavenly combination of scones (simple savory cake-like texture) and croissants (butter and flaky layers).

Our goal is flaky biscuits which still have a slightly cake-like texture, a delicious flavor, and crispy top and bottom.

Let’s get to it.

Don’t skimp on anything in this recipe. If you’re looking…

The story behind a year of successful improvements to our help user experience, the learnings, metrics, and our plans for a bumper 2019.

Every day we need assistance: help finding packages that aren’t delivered, figuring out confusing apps, troubleshooting defective products, you name it. As makers, we’re constantly asking questions. Sometimes we find answers on our own, other times we have to ask humans for guidance. …

How satisfied are developers with the Braintree developer experience?

To answer this question we designed a survey that’s short, clear, and to the point. We want to share some of the survey questions, the reasoning behind them, and how we’re building the survey experience.

In the last few months, we’ve been researching how engineers experience our developer documentation. We know we have work to do. We’ve stacked the backlog chock-a-block with all the things we saw builders like yourself hating and with more of the things we saw you loving. …

Botching up a change can cost you, time, money or sanity. Let me give you some reasons to quiver in your boots when it comes to making huge irreversible changes. Your changes could:

1. Drive away existing or potential customers
2. Lead to spending too many resources building the wrong thing
3. Drive up support interactions
4. Lose your business good will in the industry
5. Trigger a larger system breakdown

I think we can all agree that any one of these potential fall outs is worth losing sleep over. This is where testing comes in. …

It’s so basic you literally cannot argue with it. It’s so basic, anyone, anywhere, speaking any language, with any amount of available time, can do it. It’s also so basic you just can’t fail at it.

If you do try it, I have to warn you, it’ll work.

10 minutes. That’s it. 10 minutes. Basic. The time between 11:30 and 11:40. The time it takes to walk half a mile casually. Less than the time it takes to heat a pot of water on a stove.

Fact is, I didn’t even come up with the idea. (Can anyone really actually…
