Applying a marginal amount of business accumen: there's other ways to get from millions to billion(s). They don't have to further monetize engineers. There's companies looking for all sorts of talent, beyond software engineers, in fact 99% of hiring is for non-software engineering roles. You can't get blood from a stone, but you can expand your total addressable market.

- greenyoda 6y agoWouldn't a growing company that needed to hire for several different roles rather deal with a single service than a separate service for each specialty role?
- treis 6y agoYeah, I'm not saying there's not a viable business there. Just not one that's going to be worth a billion dollars in a couple years.
- CamperBob2 6y agoRight; s/he is saying that Triplebyte needs to be 'Triplebyte for X.'
