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

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
🤘 Starting today, Notion is free for personal use.
We used to have a storage limit on our free plan, but no more! Everyone should have access to our tools to create what they need.
Write, plan, and get organized at notion.so/personal. notion.so/personal

marc andreesseen isn't drinking alcohol because he wants a clearer head to enjoy his beachfront property in malibu.
you aren't drinking alcohol because it gives you more energy to use zapier to automate your housecleaning.

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"
