We've been hosting a co-working day for developers every single Friday for more than 1 year now. If you're in Lisbon for Web Summit, come say hi:
luma.com/ac4odk80 – at Almada, Portugal

Back in March, our team submitted a formal proposal for #Devcon9 to be hosted in Portugal's capital, Lisbon.
Since then we've been lobbying for this to happen around the clock.
Live from Mumbai, we're so happy to share the official announcement: Devcon 2027 will be in Lisbon!
The Lisbon Devcon push is real. We're taking the lobby work to Cannes during @EthCC.
Me, @pcbo, @onunoreis, @huvoliveira, @rmdmac and the @onchainlisbon team are hosting a casual get-together to move this forward. First round is on @ScopeLift.

How should the work we do change now that AI is here?
If you're in Lisboa for Web Summit, come and join us on November 11th for 2 intimate talks + a dinner with the speakers and other designers and researchers in a proper Portuguese restaurant.

Do you know any recruiters specialising in Product Design and UX Research?
As Cherrydock grows, we're exploring ways to work closely with companies hiring design talent and the people who help them find the right candidates.
Ideally, someone based in Lisboa or Berlin, with experience recruiting across Europe.

The web rewrite is working.
On a slow connection, the old X web took more than 22 seconds to show the first post on a profile. The new X web does it in 2.7 seconds. Here's how we did it, and how we're rolling it out one country at a time.

Cherrydock has had a positive week-over-week growth rate for 7 consecutive weeks. Our waiting list has grown more than 8% every week since it opened. And our retention after the redesign (people who come back to see another job within four weeks) is at 29%. Exciting!

It's rare to find your purpose for life, so instead look for your purpose for this season.
What lights you up right now? What's a good thing to dedicate this season of your life to? Perhaps more importantly, what purpose served you well in your previous season, but you have outgrown?
Life is always changing. It's okay to pick a new North Star.

just received notice that an Eng leader here at Cloudflare who moved to Portugal from the US has had his residency permit denied
in the months he has been waiting for one, he has hired five full-time engineers and six interns here in Lisbon. alongside the hundreds of others we employ here
@govpt @mpresidencia_pt the immigration insanity here is making it increasingly hard to just operate a tech office in Lisbon much less grow one

The reason for the rejection was his degree “didn’t prove he was technical enough.” He has a computer engineering degree from the University of Illinois. I asked ChatGPT where it ranked worldwide and it said 5th behind only Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, and Carnegie Mellon. So I guess only apply for Portuguese technical residency visa if you’re from one of those four.

Next week, Krasi is coming from the Netherlands to talk about when and how to rethink a product's value, change how it is delivered, test before committing, or protect what already works.
Sign up for the event and dinner with the speakers:

If you're applying to Y Combinator Winter batch and need last minute help with the application feel free to DM me
Also if you're a Portuguese Startup 🇵🇹 considering doing the program let's talk :)
🍒 We're now tracking 55 new companies at @cherrydockjobs. Many are companies that recently raised money or that didn't exist 1 or 2 years ago!
That adds up to 535 companies whose websites we check every day for you.

Funding rounds aren't milestones. It shouldn't be your goal to raise a series A. It should be your goal not to need to.
After 1 year of silence, @LisboaUX is hosting a special event during the #WebSummit week with speakers that are a fountain of knowledge and who are coming all the way to Lisboa.
We're looking for speakers for upcoming @LisboaUX editions.
Do you know anyone passing through Lisboa in the upcoming months with ideas on product design, user research and anything worth spreading?

Reminder not having a long commute is one of the biggest life upgrades. You never normalize against this, like you would a very good or very bad event (the commuting paradox, described in the Scandinavian Journal of Economics). Moving closer to work or going remote is worth it
I redesigned job pages at @cherrydockjobs to have more personality and to be easier to navigate.
400+ designers now get a job alert every day through Telegram or WhatsApp 😊
