Yeah, good point. Kudos to Zumper!

Well, I would love to read about keeping focus, high productivity and a lean team after 7 years. I just love stories about high-productivity small teams. On the technical side, the PHP to Flask migration would be very interesting too.




Good idea. The biggest productivity boost I found juggling so many jobs was minimizing context switching - block off big chunks of time to focus on just one thing, or grouping things that don't require focus together, and then leaving things like programming uninterrupted. For example, pure business development until 5 Eastern, then programming until you're done working for the day.

Batching email into a couple of times per day is another big boost.

One of the big benefits of such a small team is there's much less communication flying around, and far fewer meetings, so it's easier to get real work done.
