appreciation post: sam is stride’s first employee and a real-life 10x engineer if using stride ever feels frictionless, it’s because sam spent the time sweating every edge case an unsung hero of cosmos happy 3 year anniversary at stride @sampocs13 🎉

sam is one of the most self directed and motivated operators i know on launch weekend he spent three back-to-back nights in the office to ship stATOM his dedication raises the bar for the whole team

sam is also a talented and generous teacher he actively takes time to level up the eng team his excalidraw diagrams are the blueprints to stride & are now a classic piece of internal lore

it’s a joy to be able to work with @sampocs13 every day, one of the best engineers I know happy 3 year sam!
