*deep breath*. for the past 5 years, tech companies have treated content writing as a second class $60K job and now are running into an existential crisis as they've realized that content is critical to their success and even harder to hire for than engineering.

if you work at a startup and want to get promoted, just say any of these things in a meeting:. - "we don't talk to our users enough".- "what's the impact of this?".- "we need resources for this".- "i was thinking about this over the weekend". trust me, instant promotion.

justin's rule: all no-code eventually converges to yes-code over time. basically, at some point the UI becomes so unwieldy and hard to use that SQL is a superior UX.

if you saw Snowflake's S-1 and you're wondering what the hell they do, i've got a thread for you 🎶. Snowflake is a managed data warehouse. Data teams pay them to take care of storing analytics data so they don't have to deal with managing infrastructure.

without a doubt, at every startup I've worked at, the first bizops hire is the beginning of the end. it's the biggest possible signal to get the fuck out of there, because in 2 months some kid is going to be asking you to fill out an OKR spreadsheet.

there comes a time where every B2B startup realizes that they don't make money off of $5/mo plans from hobbyists, and pivots to try to get those users to get locked in and then bring the product to work.

Also this is just a fun little detail but. I'm 100% sure that this platform ("intro") has artificially written "sold out" on arbitrary time slots to convince the visitor that this hilarious product is somehow "selling out". Just imagine the poor engineer who had to implement this.
