Of course, I use no pomodoros - as we sit together as a team of 4-7 guys and constantly ask each other questions. I’m not sure if ruining each other’s context slows us down significantly. At least I personally feel like doing Snakify in a concentrated way with a killed Telegram process positively affects my mental health.
As a side note, I remind myself that my summer depression was partly the result of low Snakify traffic during the holidays. I expect the ad revenues to drop during Christmas break, so I should plan a lot of fun with friends to compensate for that.

I wonder how long this hack with getting up at 6:30am will last. My idea for the weekend switch is to stay late at work on Friday till midnight or more on coffee, then wake up early on Sunday, catch the “strange sleepy state of mind” that I already like and fall asleep early on Sunday night. Luckily, we don’t have 1:1s anymore, so there’s no point at which <> can raise the question about my schedule should he have one. He clearly sees me being awake since 7am because of my first replies on the overnight discussions.
In Spring I purchased a license for Sketch - a declining app for designing websites and mobile apps - as a promise to brush up more design skills this year. I actually didn’t even manage to watch 2 hours of Youtube videos on this topic. Just as with Chinese, I feel like I need to drop this dream and focus on other skills, because one can’t master everything. So on Friday I transfered my license to <>, a designer who once helped us with offline materials and now is going to lead all things design at Asap. Previously <> was on that, but the communication with her was hard (just as with <CTO>).
<> accepted our offer for 20h/week part-time for $900 full-time salary. He only worked 6 tracked hours during the last two weeks of the pilot, but it was an urgent deadline at his main workplace, and we hope it’s not gonna be like that in the future. As <> and I prepared the offer, I tried to set up an hourly rate. However, <> had concerns that an hourly rate yields to a freelance mindset where the guy doesn’t take the responsibility for parts of the product and only works during the logged hours. <> still underlines that an important thing for our employees is an ability to be available throughout the entire week in case of questions or regressions.
Yesterday was our first day in Downtown Los Angeles. We arrived here at night of Jan 12 with the goal to research the current food tech state and find a niche to launch a product. First of all, we visited four cafes (Cognescenti, Loit, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Verve), ordered a coffee and made small talk with the cashier/barista regarding their POS system. Cognescenti appeared to have a Ritual signed them up a week ago - allowing customers to pre-order coffee drinks. Other three cafes and a couple more we’ve seen that day don’t have a preorder app - though Starbucks is famous for having one.
We discovered three food halls where office workers are eating lunches: 505 Flower, FIGat7th and Macy’s. Most of their restaurants have a Ritual app for preorder. A worker at Salata said that they get around 20 lunch orders every weekday - and a separate employee is assembling them all. She also said that orders from Ritual don’t need to be retyped into their POS (which they don’t know the name of).

Yesterday we briefly tried to work in the morning from the Loit cafe - which's gonna be our main base given to good Wi-Fi and power outlets. Then we moved to a second hostel - the cheapest option that <> found on Booking_com. It turned out to be a private house converted into a hostel with bunk beds. Lots of strange scary people - seemingly all unemployed - including one Russian guy called Ivan who told right away that he moved to the US three years ago after Russian police started hunting for him. As we read the reviews, the place started seeming more scary and inconvenient, so by night we decided to move out to another one and try asking for a refund. Instead of $20/guy/night we've paid $27/guy/night, and a level-up included the room keys, 24/7 front desk, lots of bathrooms, free shampoo and a so-so free breakfast with jam and cereals. We're here for two days - we're still seeking the most cost-effective way to live in this city given that we need to sleep well and commute efficiently.
