For something enterprise scale, check out Tea Leaf. IBM ran the product for a while, I think now Acoustic has it. Many large F500 use this or other similar products: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tealeaf

What sold me on Tik Tok (I'm a early 40 year old guy!) was realizing how their algo allowed you to drill in to a musical emotional trip like no other platform that I've seen to date. You find a video, with a song, that you vibe wi

I know a few folks relatively high up in Amazon HR/TA/People Ops type roles and the scale at which they operate recruiting is nuts. Mainly driven by the insane need for people in the ops/fulfillment/delivery areas, but

Thanks for the story! When app and itunes stores first went live I remember getting these odd invoices at times and speculating with work friends about stuff like this! OH YEAH, APPLE IS PROBABLY USING SAP ON THE BACKEND!!!!!! NO WAY DUDE T

Having worked in BigCo land for 20 years, your estimates are way off. There are F500s that have 1k mainframes each, today, in 2022.

Thx for the tips! I've loved your writing here over the years on math and physics topics. I did my undergrad in physics, but then went in to corp america. Curious if you are, or did you work with, Norman Waite? I read some of his pape

This x 1000! Do kids these days not realize you can negotiate anything and everything with your vendors/suppliers/partners? Yes, most SaaS companies LOVE it when you sign up for one of their standard plans, using THEIR standard T&

Yeah, this is a classic 'nice to have' solution - it's a pain point in the process and so you hear feedback and requests for solutions. But the real question to determine if it's a viable product/business is does it

Generally in BigCo land you need a value prop that will allow your buyer to do 1 or 2 things (or a combo) - take out massive cost, or drive large incremental revenue. Most of the voice solutions I've seen kind of nibble around the edge

I checked out their fee schedule and the "3%, plus a $7 charge" appears to be for international transfer fees: https://www.mctrpayment.com/pdf/CA_MCTR_Fee_Trans.pdf For domestic transfers, appears free per yo

I highly doubt HR at Twitter is unaware of the laws here and not giving 60 days notice as part of the exit packages. This is basic stuff easily remedied by corrected exit package details if it did in fact happen.

You think AWS and Google do not employ the same sort of growth tactics as MS and others? Where do you think all the AWS and Goog sales folks hail from? Hint - the same places as MS sales folks and every other company! In enterprise land, AW

I have various friends/acquaintances/prior coworkers running 8-9 figure digital/IT agencies premised on very similar workflows. Straightforward to you may still be magic to most non-tech people. They will pay an insane premi

Another angle to diffuse their power here is the idea of radical transparency. Once everything is public, and you have nothing to hide, it is very difficult to be blackmailed or coerced in the traditional ways govts have thought about this

Interesting it took them this long to purse the opportunity here. Something like 10-20 drugs make up like 80% of the maintenance meds dispensed in the US daily. Supply chain efficiencies like this were monetized 20+ years ago by most of the

Marketing, sales, branding, etc are the ones who largely are doing the work to scale these companies. Ad dollars are one mechanism to grow reach across audiences, and those teams are the ones helping to make it actually happen. And yes, ma

That's literally what they did. Started with their knowledge of LSD and went from there using a similar chemical.

When all else fails, shove it in 'ZZ mutually defined' baby! If you know, you know!!!! Ha, ha, this gave me flashbacks to reading the X12 834 spec for healthcare transactions when it first came out.

It's really not malicious. What you are seeing here is essentially part of the claims adjudication process output. This takes as input the procedure (ie the ICD/CPT code) and the provider, and runs it against the 'plan design

There is a huge chunk of the economy that is agitating for RTO. All the big consultancies are pushing it, travel sector (eg airlines, hotels, conference circuit folks) are pushing it, corp real estate and related service sector (think Arama

Officially these types of things can manifest as ‘joint ventures’ or ‘partner programs’. Unofficially they are your sales AE hooking you up outside of work :)

Shortly after our son was born, my wife and I went thru basically everything in our house and figured out how to turn off all the extraneous beeps and noises so we wouldn't inadvertently wake him up from a nap. We found most (not all!)

A good example of the "reverse logistics" space in real life! Some interesting rabbit holes to explore if you google that phrase. One of my favorite small(er) Saas ERP vendors has a good 101 on the topic: https://www.ne

When I negotiated to buy my most recent car online back in 2016, the term to use was 'final out the door cost'. I reached out to maybe 7 or 8 dealers, had a couple that refused to provide a total itemized cost, and then got back 5

Yes, this a thousand times over! Why would I spend 100x the cost to buy an internally developed solution that is barely an MVP product when I could buy a market leading, polished, SaaS product from a vendor who takes me out to dinner and ba
