    It’s actually a really impressive bit of engineering and craft. Making the doors work around the back wheel wells because of the extreme chassis shortening is difficult work.

    Also the fuel tank, drive shaft, exhaust, brake lines, and wiring all had to be modified to work too. Even the parking brake would have had to be changed to keep working.



  • The work/life culture was better than my preceding professional jobs, but the middle management was terrible, with 3 coming and going in 2 years.

    I became a consultant for one more year, and liked that more, but they ultimately got out of that business (Shopify and squarespace ultimately took that market around the same time).


  • I was working in web development and marketing back then, while you’re kinda right, and there were always “fires” (which were bullshit, because we mostly did clothing brand websites and tv show ads, not really important in the bigger scheme).

    We did manage to keep them from launching sites or features on Fridays. So we had chances to take them more (but still not enough).
