This article read like a puff piece that I got little more out of than "value your users and build good software". It didn't seem like it offered much substantial or specific advice.
- jbarciauskas 6y agoAgreed. There's very little evidence to support the claims about what is discussed here is what made Stripe successful. Intuitively many of the claims seem true but where is the data?
- rtpg 6y agoThere's probably a bit of "know who your users are". Ultimately the "ease of use" thing is valuable to the developers (the stakeholders above couldn't care less), and Stripe seemed to identify that getting developer buy-in is super valuable for at least one segment of the population
- d1str0 6y agoThere has been a huge influx of articles from substack lately. I think they are trying to grow their brand.
- Sebguer 6y agoSubstack is just a publishing platform, it's not editorial.
- libraryatnight 6y agoDoesn't mean they're not submitting articles around to grow awareness of the platform/their brand.
- fk6aaa545c 6y agoYeah when I read I litterally though it was a perfect piece of parody!
