We cut PR wait time and running costs by rethinking CI as a system, from the infrastructure underneath it to how work gets scheduled and tests get parallelized.
A long running migration that became an exercise in tooling, automation, and designing clearer boundaries for both humans and agents.
As Linear passes $100 million in ARR, we’re giving our team another opportunity to participate in the upside.
How we use Turbopuffer to keep catch up latency predictable across more than 20 TB of sync actions.
The product and engineering decisions we made so Linear Agent can handle complex tasks without becoming unpredictable.
Loop engineering has quickly emerged as an important practice in software development. In tools like Claude Code and Codex, developers define recurring or trigger based behavior for their agents, usually through a /loop command, and hand off the repetitive tasks that would otherwise consume their attention. The…
I was very skeptical of AI to begin with. Part of me suspected the technology wasn't as capable as the hype would suggest, while another part was deeply worried that it was far more capable than I wanted to admit. But the closer I got to the technology the more those worries started to fade. The tech is very capable,…

Building a product is something a team does together, and the work that goes into it, like the decisions and the reasoning behind them, forms the…

Between January and March our total issues created and PRs merged both climbed by 50%. That was…
