Management @ PlanetScale

We want PlanetScale to be the best place to work. But every company says that, and very few deliver. Managers have a role in creating an amazing work experience, but things go awry when the wrong dynamic creeps in.

We have all seen those managers who collect people as “resources” or who control information as a way to gain “power.” In these cultures, people who “can’t” end up leading the charge. This is management mediocrity.

What will make us different? At PlanetScale, we won’t tolerate management mediocrity. We are building a culture where politics get you nowhere and impact gets you far. Managers are here to support people who get things done. They are as accountable to their team as their team is accountable to them.

We evaluate managers on the wellbeing and output of their team, how skillfully they collaborate with and influence others, and how inclusively and transparently they work.

You can expect your manager to:

  • Perceive a better version of you and support you in getting there

A simple LINQPad script I wrote for load testing SQL Server.

This is a simple LINQPad script I wrote one day to load test some large SQL servers. Maybe it's useful to someone. The basic premise is defining your queries once, including which ID patterns to fetch (at the bottom), and load test a mixture. The script defines everything needed in one place, then fires up the command-line linqpad runner to run many queries at once.

Params up top:

const string LinqPadPath = @"C:\Linqpad\lprun.exe";
const bool runSequential = false;
const int defaultThreads = 1;
const int defaultIterations = 2000;
