Hey everyone! Thanks for all your wonderful questions. Here’s your answers!
Great question! If you want to know what I’ve got in my rotation right now, check out my insync playlist.
Otherwise, my favourite playlists that I’ve made myself are:
- Glaze - shoegaze and postrock
- Covers - a collection of cover songs
- QQ - just sad songs
- Wes - the songs from every Wes Anderson film
- jimmy unrustler - chill out
- beep boop - chiptune stuff (music that sounds like it’s coming out of an old gameboy)
Of course! Here’s a pic of my family cat, Splat:
Way too difficult. But I think @simonb deserves a round of applause for his tireless work here on the community, and being a real champion of this place inside the company
Fun fact: I have a GCSE in Latin?
Sad fact: I never use it.
Good question! It’s hard to say. Leaders aren’t Monzo staff, I can’t tell them how to talk! And it’s better if I don’t. Everyone has their own voice and I don’t want to stamp that out.
I eat nothing else.
Coffee. Breakfast. Coffee. Biscuits. Community. DevSlack. Coffee. Social media. Coffee. Meetings. Lunch. Tea. Community. Meetings. Thinking about my life. After-work event. Home!
Seriously though, as the Online Community Manager my main responsibilities are looking after this forum (plus the DevSlack) and our social channels. So every day is different and varied. There are no ‘typical days’.
I have written extensively on why the moral of Shrek is that appearances are deceiving and it’s what’s inside that matters. So they’re the same.
Good lighting.
Sure.
Shrek > Shrek Forever After > Shrek 2 > Shrek The Halls > Shrek The Third > Scared Shrekless
It’s more similar than different! It’s got the same kind of vibe - a young, tech company full of smart and motivated people. People just drink more Huel here I think.
DC comics. Marvel movies.
Douglas Adams is probably my #1. But I really love Alex Garland too. Honourable mentions for Stephen King, and - of course - Lemony Snicket.
Is sugar a food?
WAS I INVITED?!
My winning smile and charming personality.
Working in a small team for a growing company with lots of responsibility but also freedom to do what I think is right! And the seemingly endless party rings.
Growing this forum. It’s what I’m most motivated about doing at the moment. I think it’s got so much potential to be a core part of the Monzo experience.
Currently back in his box, I’m afraid. He got packaged up when my team moved where we sit. I’ll make sure he gets properly set up soon.
There’s a certain payment method I could mention that I’d love to see supported soon
But otherwise: CASS! The redesigned spending tab! More fun experiment with Pots.
Absolutely not.
Really fantastic question. Despite asking this question a lot, I don’t really have a good answer myself.
But I did once see one of my flatmates order two pizzas at Pizza Express, put one upside on top of the other and eat it like a sandwich. I’ll never forget it.
