> 20-hour work week

Wowza, that's amazing. I'd love to grab a coffee sometime and pick your brain on how it's working and any pitfalls you've found - I'd love to be able to implement something like that in my next startup.



Sure, if you're in Seattle I'd be happy to meet up. We also get to the bay area fairly frequently.


I'd love to take you up on this offer as well... sdm350 at gmail


Yep, I live in Ballard and work downtown - adrian at adrianpike.com!


Below it says 20h of remote work, so that might just be that.


20 hours of remote work, but that's all the work we expect. The job is 100% remote.

We really believe that the 40 hour work-week is antiquated when it comes to the tech space and that having people sitting in a chair 9-5 doesn't do anything to help us be more productive.


Totally agree with this. I always did 40 hour work-week, but recently had a child and reduced to 20 to manage his first months. I produce almost the same, but now my rss feed and youtube queue is full. Just lost my time doing nothing.


That is awesome!


Technically it says 20 hours of billable work. I'm no consultant, but sometimes 20 hours of billable work is much more than 20.


Oh yeah... Noah's old blog post mentions billable time, but our stance has since evolved that a work week is just 20 hours, billable or not. If we're doing internal work for the company, we still track and time it to make sure we aren't going over our limit.
