Formative experience: working at a startup, coming upon a fundamental technical problem that will prevent delivery of any of our revenue generating projects & realising that anyone who has spent a meaningful amount of time working on the software would notice the same problem. Noticing nobody else has brought it up.
- mooreds 3y agoWow, quite a quandry. What did you do?
- throwaway2203 3y agoSuper curious as well
- offices 3y agoIt's not that exciting - I was already halfway out the door for unrelated reasons. It's a problem that almost any company in that space shares. It's made me put a strong premium on working for companies that sell a real product for real money, today.
- grvdrm 3y agoI feel you. In a similar experience now. Valuation (I’m told) depends on ARR. Company not really set up to generate meaningful ARR from its core business. I keep hearing “it will get better” but as far as I see, the problem is squarely at the top and some specific deputies. So, why do I keep hearing that? It sounds like very poorly messaged religion some days.
