We've been using both Mercury and Brex for different purposes, but I guess we'll go Mercury full-time. I really hope Mercury doesn't pull the same stunt.

So... what alternatives are people moving to? I really liked the dynamic credit card generator, and Brex Travel was luxurious... Also, I'm curious what the new cut off is, and who their new customers are. Is the new downturn causing th

I'd say, "What is the biggest marketplace we can find to adapt our widget to" is probably the better way to go. Lots of people have problems. Do they have problems big enough they want to pay $X for? Usually not

Is this about the same for BigTechCos as much as BigRegularCos? I've done work for big insurance companies, "tech companies" like Verizon, or big soda companies, and they're as high friction as you'd expect. Somehow

Flat file websites make sense when you have a blog and such. I don't even know why you'd use a CMS when Next.js or SvelteKit can just generate all the pages from a folder with markdown files. Just write your content in Markdown or
