After a brief company update, Chris asks Noah a question that throws Noah for a loop. Jeffrey stops in. We talk about the World Series — Starts tonight. Go Dodgers! — Noah shares some illuminating stats. Finally, Chris goes on a rant about design, quality, and speed related to software development. As we've come to expect, Chris talks more about how Apple & Pixar operate and how they inspire the project.

The video series “Conversations on Quality” can be found here on Linear’s website. Highly recommend!

The “guy from Perplexity” Chris mentions is actually their Head of Design, Henry Modisett. You can watch his video here.

This one is jam packed! First, we discuss the upcoming supporter campaign and some sweet merch we’re cooking up. Then, we dive into a product meeting between Chris & Jeffrey and discuss what it means to be in the “ugly baby” stage of product development. That leads us into Chris sharing why and how he’s been so inspired by Pixar over the years. In our penultimate segment, Noah dives into some unique stats so far in the postseason — all you stats nerds will love this part. Finally, we play Paper Gameball again and talk about our experience. Spoiler alert: Noah is sitting at a 1,000 Gameball Average on the postseason. Impressive.
