When Hey.com announced their features I scrolled through each one and would probably get value from 75% of them. Superhuman seems more of a signaling play. Hey.com features on top of Gmail though, that would be amazing.

Very click baity headline. With revenue in the hundreds of millions and growth at near 100% it is the literal definition of product market fit.

It is augmented email - there are a lot of features they wrote that break the standard protocol so you would lose a ton of benefit without the app. https://hey.com/features/ Likewise because of that you don't get

I think saying that marketing isn't AWS's strength misses the point. As the VP of product marketing he most likely had access to revenue by porduct line. As a result he would know which segments of the product suite are growing qu

This is absolutely true and this is what Netflix and Spotify have proven. If you provide an easy to use digital platform people will subscribe. Now Netflix has a higher market cap than most Hollywood Studios, and Spotify has a higher market

I always wonder when a company does this if it is completely altruistic or if something else is going on behind the scenes. Maybe notifying customers gets them to reactivate, maybe if they resubscribe later they can charge more, maybe it’s

Making money in developer education is especially difficult. Especially if it isn't the specific core of what you are building. Surely there is plenty of education specific resources there, but it isn't as focused on it as Codecad

It's a tired saying, but no less, true if you aren't paying for it you are the product. There are no social platforms that are VC backed that aren't going to at some point resort to the lowest common denominator of making a b

The biggest positive to companies going all digital especially at Spotify's scale is the cost savings. The problem with companies that have started in Urban centers is that many of their employees don't have the "extra"

Ran into the same issue. Loved the design and the demos I saw so I signed up. What I really wanted was just a simple flexible to-do list, something that I missed from Basecamp v1 and was willing to try somewhere else. But the flexibility ma

Probably a much more common problem - definitely need to ensure that all resources are linked together through the DNS provider so that when you destroy the VM you also remove the associated DNS record if it is the last available resource.

Yeah but from Uber's perspective they aren't paying drivers as salaried employees but contractors only for a completed fare. So Uber isn't incurring any overhead expense by having cars in less desirable pick up points, or hav

The problems here are many. There is no consistency in how loan forbearance will be addressed with customers. Allowing someone to not pay their mortgage for three months and then requiring a balloon payment isn't really a solution for

The article misses the point entirely. It wasn't about launching early, or not having enough games, or wait times. It comes down to pricing. In gaming, the same thing has always played out. The console that can deliver the best value w

What I read was that the reason for in-state college tuition increasing so much was because of the reduction in property taxes. Typically property taxes go towards education at the local level, and as property taxes were reduced there would

While this is true, I would be curious of the overall economic impact. A business owner can have a successful business but they aren't really making tremendous profit, so how much of that money really remains in the local community. Th
