The concept seems cool and the price seems reasonable if the quality is high. But how does this translate to value for subscribers? It seems like the company is treating curation as the core value prop but I see it as more of a means to some end.
- sarupbanskota 4y agoGreat question. We see customers try us for both types of value (short-term means to an end, as well as long term continuous investment). Some use-cases we've heard from customers: 1. Onboarding oneself into a new language (for experienced engineers, learning syntax is relatively straightforward — it's the idioms, standard libraries, etc that they need exposure to) 2. Team Hackathon / general engagement — Our company leaderboard and Slack app (available to teams) offers an element of "friendly challenge" and collaboration, and teams seem to enjoy that as a way to learn new skills together. Developers are naturally curious people — so more opportunities to bond over ideas, approaches, facts, are always appreciated. 3. Prepping towards roles in platform engineering — either as general skill development for confidence, or interview prep
