- bunderbunder 1y agoI would recommend not making any career pivots to sales or marketing.
- catlifeonmars 1y agoNot sure if this is sarcasm, but GP has good taste and when marketing this stuff to developers, you need good taste. Otherwise it just rings hollow, and doesn’t inspire enthusiasm.
- bunderbunder 1y agoIt was indeed sarcasm. I suppose after so many years I should know better than to try using humor on Hacker News.
- catlifeonmars 1y agoFWIW I usually try to be explicit by adding /s. Text is low bandwidth so a lot of nuance gets lost.
- bunderbunder 1y agoBut also, there is nothing more humorless than a culture that needs identifying metadata to recognize jokes.
- angiolillo 1y agoMarketing is audience-dependent. If you are marketing to VCs then disparaging competitors and making grandiose claims can be effective. But when marketing to developers then constructive criticism and humility may be more effective.
