Looks super interesting! This could be super helpful for us. Will drop your team a note :)

#2 will be bigger and better! Thanks Tom + Jonas from Monzo for hosting us last time! :)

Agree with above points. It sounds like it should have been dealt with a long time ago. Being this close to vesting is the cost of inaction. The equity issue feels like a sunk cost at this point.

Would initiate a conversation around performance to set expectations that performance needs to improve or their position is at risk.

Be the hero of the story: treat the employee fairly and raise performance expectations. Hopefully, the equity is a small price to pay.

Hey! We're looking for a venue that can host - very grateful if you could drop us a note - dillon(at symbol)oneslipstream(dot symbol)com

Sure! I'll get in touch with you and Connor shortly

If for LND - the answer is yes!

Socialising with opinionated geeks sounds like the best way to have interesting conversations!

Opinionated may have ment the 'fight for your view till death' kind of folks perhaps. In which case it is being far from fun.

I've definitely run in to those types at meetups. They're there to ruin the event for everyone (although I'm sure they themselves have a good time).

Thankfully it's possible to convince a smaller group to ignore them (don't feed the trolls etc) so you can have interesting conversations.

Nothing interesting about arguing with someone who just defends their point to the death, never listening to anything you say.

Don't belittle people for wanting to speak to people like themselves by acting like this is a sign of immaturity or something that they will grow out of...

> sign of immaturity or something that they will grow out of...

Or perhaps they meant that it’s a sign of youthful vitality and openness that they lost via the detriment of aging?

Ha! 26. I sympathise - but have to admit, I am quite excited for this! I just know there are going to be so many interesting people there, doing so many interesting things!

I'm way older than that but I work from home. I actually just made an account after a long time of lurking because the lack of lunchtime tech rants is starting to feel isolating.
