Random Employee Chats is the modern version (read covid-required) of impromptu water cooler meetings at @Cloudflare - and it is clear that random pairings are not enough in large organizations | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

We developed the Random Employee Chats application internally, with the goal of recreating the pre-pandemic informal interactions. Here's how we moved from a shared spreadsheet to Cloudflare Workers to automate the entire process.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: interesting solution developed at Cloudflare, a technology company, to facilitate conversations across the organization. The paper highlights the challenges of making random chats truly random (and useful). As work from home and remote work become the norm post-covid, this will become required in all organizations. Not only large distributed companies but also startups that decide to go full work from home.

How I Burned 10 Million Dollars So You Don’t Have To.
(An Education in Humility, Humanity, and Leadership).

In February, my startup (Twenty20) employed 35 people. We had a board-approved plan to scale to 85 by the end of the year. As of July, we were at 55, and well on our way. Now, four months later, our team size is 12.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

I love those stories because they are real-life, pragmatic, and reflect the reality of startups. Should be true not only for startups but intrapreneurs and small groups that burst into life in larger organizations. Lesson to learn: don't grow until you know your business model. Also: self-service is good. Must read to give you confidence, hope and also scare you a little.
