Software tools should be fast. Not fast enough. Actually fast. Sub-100-millisecond fast.

We did not build Linear to compete with Jira. We built it because we refused to use Jira.

The best product decisions come from being your own customer. We use Linear to build Linear.

Great software is opinionated. If you try to please everyone you end up pleasing no one.

We have no sales team. The product is the sales team.

Keyboard shortcuts are not a feature. They are a philosophy. Speed is a design principle.
