> It's a SaaS. That's a 10 person team at maximum efficiency. This kind of sounds like you think every SaaS business has the same staffing requirements. That's a very strange claim.

I can't help but make a wry observation that they are objectively VC-funded, but that by saying they aren't a "classic VC-funded growth trajectory" you're doing a No-True-Scotsman-style "not a true venture fu

Like the sibling comment, I'd honestly be interested in hearing how they fucked you over. I know the whole "we will keep running it just like it's always been" trope is very hard to swallow, but it seems to me they actu

That doesn't sound like a powerful negotiating position, though; it sounds like desperation. Why would you do that intentionally?

This is gorgeous, but I wanted the cadence of the cuts to be just a little bit slower. Maybe this was intentional in order to create unease/tension, but I always felt like I was just a couple seconds away from being done looking at

I had them do it when I was in for my (free) oil change, and they didn't charge me for it. I suppose they might if I brought it in for just the software update.

Maybe they do, but I don't install apps for horseshit like this. I especially don't install apps from companies that are obviously terrible at software development, like car manufacturers.

Part of me says yes and part of me says no. The thing that music notation recognizes is that which specific notes are important changes depending on which key you're in.

I spent decades not understanding music theory and thinking of music as a sequence of notes, and I never understood why music notation and the layout of a piano were so bizarre. It just seemed like something that we were stuck with due to

Cross-compiling something for gokrazy will likely be a can of worms if it has a lot of C dependencies, which tend to be dynamically linked by default. There's no dynamic library loader on gokrazy, so you either need to add one yoursel
