Through actionable examples, relatable stories, and constant experimentation she helps companies create more compassionate teams and vastly improved digital products. She also coaches individuals experiencing career stagnance or burnout, she writes, speaks, podcasts, YouTubes, and is an independent mom.\n\nJaimee made this career shift by applying her typical process for designing a product (website or app) to her life, as if her life were the product. (Sometimes she tried Agile methodologies, UX methods, etc.) She started out with smaller objectives and working through side projects to clear obstacles (aka: excuses) from her path. Jaimee continues doing that through her monthly challenges, which have become playful and exploratory things that grow different skill sets and push her own boundaries of fear and comfort.\n\nPicks\n\nNolan\n\n\nMailbox Shuts Down - Daring Fireball - Despite acclaim and an early acquisition, Mailbox was just not built to last.\nJaimee\u2019s Website - Jaimee\u2019s personal site with link and video\u2019s to talks (and monthly challenges!)\n\n\n\nDarryl\n\n\nOpen-source Swift: Booleans - With the recent open-sourcing of Swift, Greg Heo dives into the details of Swift\u2019s Bool implementation.\n\n\n\nJaimee \\o/\n\n\nTiny Challenges - On Twitter @tinychallenges\nTiny Habits - Dr BJ Fogg\nNaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month
