Little steamed. AA delayed my flight out of PHX 1h 15m. I’m gold and it’s 580 mi. so asked for an upgrade to first (as it was empty). Figured out they used up 2 of my 500 mi upgrades. (Cont)

FINALLY saved up enough for a Leica kit - I was very excited for the CL - but the shop suggested the Q2 as a really great travel camera, and now I’m not sure what to get. Anyone here shoot Leica?

Moving to San Diego from Santa Barbara. Looking to be relatively central so I can meet people, go out for drinks or other fun active activities (I'm a runner) What are your thoughts on the vibes in Banker's Hill vs. Point Loma (liberty station) vs Little Italy vs North Park?

Anyone traveling while working remotely? If so, what are you using for internet on the road? I've tried hotels but their internet isnt compatible.

If you have an agency job, do you list your title, plus “freelancer” on LI? Nervous this would be a sure sign to my agency that I’m moonlighting. Or is that okay?

My boss has video on every single meeting. Status? On. IR? On. Not presenting and just there to chill? On. Even when no one else has it on and knowing it’ll just be his face taking up the whole screen. I’m starting to think he just likes to think we all love staring at him.

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project.

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.

When you see the upgrade screen at the gate does it show every passenger that was upgraded (meaning every other FC seat was paid) or can you get a FC seat as an upgrade and not be on the gate screen?
