Apparently the answer is create a Hacker News thread, tweet about it, have your Stripe PM friends contact internal support, have your VC friends round up some internal contacts in Stripe, contact old Stripe employees... ...until a real life

I still think Ruby on Rails is the #1 choice for launching a non-static web project in 2021. The lifecycle I've seen with the 4 companies I've built on Rails: 1. Pure vanilla rails 2. Then the front end grows into an SPA as functi
