Yeah, they're basically just saying to learn the basics of project management, customer support, etc via professional services before starting a product-centric business. I don't think you have to start a PS firm first, but working for one would likely be helpful

Check your local government auctions and Craigslist-like services and you can score older enterprise gear for cheap or free!

Not having an insta isn't weird or what turned her off - being fucking creepy and weird about it then lying is what turned her off... Jesus

Being active on a social network is not the same as having a social life - meet people, make friends, and make an effort to reach out to them. THAT's having a social life

After using and hosting Gitlab for years and having to move over to GitHub enterprise for my new role.... Holy shit does GitHub suck. It's organization and projects are trash and GitHub Actions barely scratches the surface of what was easy in Gitlab. I don't know how it got so big with such a terrible UI and limited feature set.

Seriously no nested orgs, shared CI/CD variables, or a kanban board that makes sense (new projects is so much worse than legacy). I hate Github

It's just funny given the community backlash both companies have faced in recent days

It's funny you joke about Quibi because those people all went over to Airtable and what do you know, they have turned a great product into a loser because they have no idea how to get their shit together and actually go public. They're past their series F - they've got nowhere to go and the CFO only knows how to fund raise and she gutted their finance department that was actually working to get them compliant enough to go public. A couple years ago or so they fired their controller who specializes in taking companies public and it's been downhill since.

Sorry for the rant but this is the world and people I work with and have had a front row seat to the shit show (well, more like a few rows back)

Which I get - I'm starting the candidate gathering stage for a fairly senior role and the pool of candidates I have to choose from is already quite small given the requirements and niche product and of course I am going to defer to those I have worked with in the past as I know what they can do. I just find it funny that when faced with a very specific issue that unity picked someone who has a track record of fumbling that exact issue

Hmmm, we have a company who's success has been largely due to it's large network of developers and the outgoing CEO tried to destroy that community.... Who should replace them? Oh, I know, someone who took another company who's success was based on a large network of developers and successfully killed that community

I'd be on the lookout for some cheap XM4s as they are worlds better than the XM3s but that is probably just me being salty about the dogshit battery life of the XM3s
