If you’re an great engineering manager in a startup city, changing jobs into a similar role is pretty easy. For most people, though, things are a little more difficult. Not everyone has the most sought after position and many work in a job where figuring out what skill set you have to offer isn’t so cut and dry.

But they all suffer from the same problem, which my colleague Dani explained yesterday: Archives are extremely important: the survival and ongoing availability of knowledge helps with the continuation

One approach to music is to do whatever you want. Absolutely anything goes. But to me, that’s too free. It’s anti-inspiring because having infinite options is overwhelming. Another approach to music is to follow tradition. You stay within the guidelines of a genre or style. But to me, that’s too strict and sad. It was someone else’s innovation. To imitate it now with rules and recipes is just nostalgia.

A few weeks ago, we were fortunate to welcome Nick Mehta, CEO of Gainsight to SaaS Office Hours. I learned a lot from the session about how customer success has evolved over the last 5 to 10 years. Here are my notes from the session. The discipline of customer success varies widely depending on price point. At the lower price points, some organizations combine the role of an account manager and the customer success person into a CSAM (customer success account manager).

How can we strengthen social cohesion in fragmented environments? Public policies that have an impact on the welfare and quality of life of individuals are essential. Initiatives launched by organizations aimed at creating the necessary conditions and tools to offer opportunities to the most disadvantaged people are equally important. If the rest of the community is also involved and made aware of this issue, the combination is much more likely to be effective.
