Hey, so this Saturday you can come to the Grand Opening party for Tabletop Library in Berkeley all day and night. It'll be worth the drive over, you know, if you want.
@BerkeleyTTL is a side quest I've been on with @andrewmason, @tabletopgrl & david c to make a whimsical place that gets us off our phones, playing with each other, and holds board gaming up for the awesomeness that it has become recently. It's been a labor of love where we've also built a dewey decimal system for games, a board game recommender service, used a card catalog from UC Berkeley as the front desk, and a dozen other little details I'd love to show you.

And after the visit you can go less than a block to the comic shop (escapist) and sci-fi bookstore (dark carnival) in what must now be the nerdiest single block anywhere.

If you’re a founder spending 50%+ of your day resolving customer problems, you’ve likely waited too long to hire customer success.
But knowing WHEN to build CS is only the first step. HOW to build it is a different challenge altogether — so we sat down with Stephanie Berner, SVP of Customer Success at Atlassian, to create a guide for founders establishing V1 of their CS function.
She goes deep on:
• Whether your first hire should be someone technical or an industry specialist
• Interview questions to ask that will evaluate drive, self-awareness and customer empathy (which are the most important traits of first hires)
• Why your CS leader should report to the CEO instead of the CRO or CPO
• The target number of CSMs per account for SMBs, mid-market and enterprise customers
• Why customer health and renewal rate are the most important early metrics to track (and why NPS and CSAT can wait)

Game designers and publishers can also consider developing games with a smaller footprint in mind. I’m impressed with how much game @devirgames packs into their smaller boxes, like Red Cathedral and Bamboo. #boardgames #sustainability stonemaiergames.com/3-easy-w…

If you didn’t already take my word for it, “Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812” at @ShotgunPlayers is a must-see 👏. @sfchronicle datebook.sfchronicle.com/the…

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.
🧵
The @shotgunplayers production of “Natasha, Pierre, and the Comet” transformed the Ashby Stage into a cabaret. The live music, immersive cast in-audience experience, and performances were dance-in-your-seat inducing. 🥂💃🕺Definitely a must-see! shotgunplayers.org/Online/de… #Broadway

Did you miss the boat on dressing up for Halloween this year? Not to worry: We're giving free drink vouchers to anyone showing up in costume for 'The Great Comet.' Check out this inspiration board from costumer Zhang Yu.

This. Especially now when relationships between employees and companies are more important than ever for the health of the business. “Red carpet in, red carpet out” for the departing we but also take care of those who continue their tenure at the company.
