Maybe over the course of a couple of years/decades you become desensitized to the impact of layoffs but this week has not been easy for both the people who remain at Shopify and those who were let go. Friends and colleagues who I've worked closely with for more than a year now have been suddenly deactivated and we're expected to say goodbye and carry on. Some of the best people I've ever worked with suddenly gone - and some of which I haven't even had the chance to say goodbye to. Godspeed to all those affected - know that you will be sorely missed. I hope you can afford some time to disconnect and recalibrate. To anyone in my network who may be hiring, I can recommend so many highly talented and impactful individuals - genuinely some of the best people I've ever worked with: Staff Engineering / Leadership Martin Lechner (EMEA) Rui Araujo (EMEA) Bala Clark (EMEA) Dave Ariens (CA) Nicolas Canac (US) Software Engineering Atul Bipin (CA) Edris Metwally (CA) Andres Pineda (CA) Matthew Enigk (US) Daniel Latimer (CA) Ruben Nic (US) Pauline R. (CA) 🇺🇦 Misha R. (EMEA) Eyo Eyo (EMEA) Srividya Tata (CA) UX Design Rob Schlegel (US) Content Design Kyle Thomas Maskewich (CA)
I would add Nicolas Canac to this. I couldn’t recommend him enough as a data scientist.
