- vmception 5y agowith the clever “ask your developer” billboard campaign
- rsync 5y ago"... twilio is not a developer tool ..." Thank you. Strongly agree. Every day I run into something Twilio could be doing to make development and tooling and workflows better for people who are actually using twilio for telephony. Instead, they are spending their time, energy and acquisition dollars building "customer engagement at scale" which is a fancy term for spam.
- statictype 5y agoTwilio’s product is an API. The end-user of (most of) their products are developers.
- foolfoolz 5y agothe product is the communications. the people on the phone. reading sms. getting emails. the end user of twilio’s products probably have never heard of twilio and don’t even know their using it
- statictype 5y agoPerhaps a better way to phrase it: Twilio’s customers are developers. Their products are built to be used by developers. As an analogy, AWS’s customer is Netflix. Not the end user who is watching a movie that streams out of an EC2 instance.
- heytherewhat 5y agoAnd their product is for developers. Are you trying to claim that AWS is not for developers because the end users who visit website hosted on AWS are not developers?
