Comments: Becoming Mobile First
It was a Wednesday, mid-summer 2019. I don't know which Wednesday specifically, but I know that it was a Wednesday because I was attending Artsy's weekly all-hands meeting. Two hundred colleagues were also there (many dialing in remotely) and we were all listening to Artsy's new CEO talk about the company's direction. Mike Steib had only been around for a few months at that point, getting to know the business. He was talking about the product direction, and I was listening intently.
With Artsy's iOS app, I knew there were only really two directions we could go. As I listened, I reflected on how we had gotten here.
