Gina Trapani on the software we use every day at Postlight
When we hired Gina Trapani as a Director of Engineering at Postlight we knew, of course, that she’d founded Lifehacker many years ago. It turns out that you can take the engineering leader out of Lifehacker—but you can’t take the tendency to document life hacks out of the engineering leader. (I’m sorry, that was a terribly-constructed sentence, but you know what I mean.)
Hence this very useful post for Track Changes, probably the single-most broadly useful Track Changes post yet. Who knew we used all these tools! What is Figma? Do I need to download Paw? Other readers who work in product, design, and engineering will find it useful too.
