It's absolutely disgusting and I feel almost offended that I am supposed to spend time reading something that the author clearly hasn't even spent time writing.

I am okay with using AI or software to proofread and improve a piece of writing but this one is clearly fully written by AI, as is evident with the short sentences and the awkward writing style -- no human actually writes or talks like that.


That's funny to read this today morning because that's exactly what i've been working on.

We helped a Series B YC company with a whitelabel Lovable app so all of their customers can build exactly what they need on top of their SaaS!

It really works -- 1200 customers are now vibe coding daily and using their SaaS a LOT more.


How does the phone number help?


That's the polite version of "we know where you live". Telling someone you have their phone number is a way of saying "we'll call you and expect immediacy if you break something."

Wanna be treated like an adult? Cool. You'll also be held accountable like an adult.


Never received a phone call at 5am on a Sunday because a bug is causing a valued customer to lose $10k/minute, and by the way, the SVP is also on the line? Lucky bastard


Presumably they will be contacted if there's a problem. So the hire has an interest in not creating problems.


This one messed me up. I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting.

I haven't read many military books, but to me this book is the perfect demonstration of the ultimate futility of war.


That sounds great. What SaaS are you replacing?


I'd rather not name names - but one of the major, popular ones.

We contracted a lot of usage, and are using it literally like a S3 bucket with a malware scanner attached to it, and ignoring the dozens and dozens of document management capabilities it has - that we don't need. (Because really, we only ever needed a S3 bucket with a virus scanner...). This alone will allow us not to renew that contract, and save, maybe, around 2M per year.

Sure, we will have to have our own API that will require support and what not, but... we already HAD to have our own API that requires support and what not, since we have a bunch of legacy document management platforms running in various countries, and we anyway have to operate an abstraction and a router.

I am sure ours might not be the most typical case, but there will be savings, and since the economy is what it is, my bosses are telling me to go for every saving I can find, and thats one of them.

(I'd not try to re-write an ERP system, for instance, or a CRM. But a lot of smaller things where we pay a substantial premium? Sure - we will try.).


I'm the biggest typography nerd and love ligatures. Can't tell if the majority likes them or dislikes them lol


Thank you! I hope you enjoyed the little ™ at the end as well.


Some founders are realizing this, we're helping a lot of B2B SaaS achieve exactly this with our whitelabelled solution.


well then, happy first billion, where I send a resume?


I'm the biggest typography nerd and I'll fight to death in the defense of ligatures! Bring them back


I love ligatures and typography too but not these.


Oh no...
