Pros & Cons
Linear
- Obsessive product craft — building the best-in-class PM tool teams genuinely love
- Deep work culture with no standups and minimal meetings — actually practiced
- Very small team = limited roles available at any given time
- High hiring bar means slow growth — patience required
Supabase
- Truly open-source DNA — build products millions of developers use daily
- No-hierarchy remote culture with extreme autonomy and generous allowances
- Intense workload — more work than a single person can reasonably manage
- Work-life balance rated 3.0/5 — fast shipping pace can be relentless
Bottom Line
Linear
Choose Linear if you want obsessive product craft with genuine work-life balance — but the team is tiny and hiring bar is extreme.
