This weekly practice is one of my favorite parts of working at Stripe! I learn so much from hearing directly from our customers all across the world running a variety of businesses.

go and try our latest version of Stripe checkout—you might just end up the owner of an excellent one-of-a-kind item. 🫡

rejoined facebook to follow some neighborhood groups and now find myself locked in debates about why bike lanes aren’t bad, actually, 24x7 ☠️

Paris now has 180 gorgeous ‘school streets.’ They are pedestrianized and landscaped streets around schools - to mitigate crashes, prioritize walking to school, reduce noise and air pollution. No brainer, really.

idk who at apple thought enabling webcam reactions BY DEFAULT in an update based on gestures was a good idea but it has been *hilarious* this week how many times it's interrupted work meetings inappropriately

One of my favorite features shipped in Stripe docs recently: you can now hover over api parameters in code snippets to get in-context definitions i.e. no more having to navigate away and break flow to get this information 😍

Love this new Amazon Home Hub—smart home stuff is great but hate fiddling with my phone. Having something blend right in is ideal 😍 theverge.com/2023/9/20/2388…

I don't think I've ever watched such a dull Apple event. Smartphones have been incremental for a while, but I'm not sure they need a 90 minute unveil anymore.

honestly this is the one thing i'll treat as if apple invented from scratch. dropping lightning alone is more than enough for me to buy this thing 🤣

I'm hiring a staff designer in the US or Canada (remote *or* IRL in SF/Seattle/NYC) to work on the future of developer tools at Stripe. ✨

It's rare that we hire for this team—come build incredible things with us! 🚀 stripe.com/jobs/listing/s…
