Linear’s secret to building beloved B2B products | Nan Yu (Head of Product)

Nan Yu, Head of Product at Linear, explains why speed and quality aren't actually a trade-off, describing how the team ships working versions within the first 10% of a project's timeline and expands access gradually through internal, beta, then GA users. He discusses Linear's refusal to build bloat-inducing features for middle managers, techniques for uncovering customers' emotional pain points, the "double triangle" model connecting product to sales and marketing, and tactical advice for landing a product management job.
