@glenngillen.bsky.social"User" is a neat catch-all word but is often misused for two things: We say "users" when we don't know who our users are more specifically.

Show PostRunning an all-remote company is likely to require a different set of skills, instincts, vendors, managers, leaders, and possibly execs.

Then RTO is basically "revert deploy to last known good state". 🤷
