@@DonnyStanley . I disagree. Much like this is not some “tech startup” this isn’t some single KZreadr making content. This is a production company. It’s not “Fast” at all. It’s reasonably if not cautiously paced, completely understandable in how they have parlayed their KZread success into other related ventures. I am guessing people have not been paying attention to when Linus actually talks about his companies growth. He has inferred that he could have grown faster by taking VC money. If you think 7-14 years is fast growth, long exactly would you think “fast” growth be in the content creation initially centred around KZread? Do you think this growth should have taken 30 years???? Also, somehow you think that recognizing the pace of growth not being “fast” is equates to a lack of success, where in fact it’s the exact opposite given how he chose to grow the company. It’s been slow and steady and I think it’s been the right move for long term stability.

Someone in management thought that he was old business and they cut his position and fired him. In a week after he left every last import was stuck in limbo and everyone building the product suddenly had no work. 3 months of nothing coming in because people didn't know how to do trade law stuff they rehired the guy at four times his salary but he only came in two days a week from now on. The Monday after he showed up a dozen semis showed up and they started shipping packages again out the door keeping the business afloat. The people that do import/export stuff can be so valuable.

We are literally seeing how a corporation being formed from ground up....I sometimes tear up seeing Linus and his team grew so much.

Where else can you walk around a place of business and everyone is smiling and laughing? Awesome video, built a pretty great team. Takes a lot to have the best tech channel on yt

Wow, I remember when the LTT operation was in the house. I remember being so excited to see the move vlogs into the first warehouse. It’s been a long, fun trip seeing this progression.

I remember watching NCIX(?) Tech Tips with Linus doing tech reviews in parking lots, for some reason, and admiring how much into it all he was. Back in the day it was one of very few reliable sources of tech information on KZread. Long story short, I am happy LTT has gotten so far and hope it gets even further :)

This is giving me old Conan O'Brien staff remote vibes. I love how the staff are humble about what they do and Linus goes on to explain their positions and what they actually do.

As an introvert, I just get exhausted thinking about how much social effort all this takes. This really is quite impressive.

"Why do I have 80 Staff?" Because over half of them bail when you warn them that a camera will be swinging by their desks.

The best of this video is to see the complicity among them and especially Linus with his employees, this is something you don't see every day.

Two Things... 1) I feel like I still remember when this whole thing was Linus and a couple other people in a broom closet. (I'm not sure what that says about me.) 2) I feel like this was one of the best recruiting videos I've seen in a long while. I mean, who wouldn't want to work in an environment where some employees wear shirts with the likeness of coworkers on it? I can feel the mutual respect (Dare I say love?) through my monitor.

Also I would add while their team is more competent than the avg user, watching their server setups I would not say they know what their doing in terms of their enterprise deployments, and they never mention security in anything they do.

Genuinely throughout all these years and maybe I just never noticed, but I never saw or heard what was on Floatplane outside of "exclusives" or "behind-the-scenes" and that was all that was given. Never shown, just told that they existed on there. Definitely would rather see advertising for it like this going in the future since I'm interested now.

@@mikehank2896 Canada has a probationary period for hiring which allows the employee or employer to "walk away". For example, an employee is not owed severance if they are let go within 3 months. I'm guessing it might be more complicated with appearing in videos so to ensure LTT owes an employee nothing they can't appear in videos??? I guess in the US it would be similar to doing contract to hire for 3-6 months to see if and employee works out of not. Or not giving employees benefits until 3 month period. It lowers the employer liability with paying severance, PTO, unemployment benefits if they have those things as policies. It can "get messy" state by state and the laws are a grey area. Canada specifically has a law for those situations. If someone appeared in a video it would probably be a grey area that LTT wants to avoid
