May 14 The Philippines has 100k 10-100 employee SMEs. I remember visiting some in the early days of @firstcircleph, seeing twenty-somethings starting to use @airtable at their family business, thinking about how many saas services (30+) we were using as a startup and doing the math 🤯 0 0 0 0 277 .
May 14 To add to this, what % of these SMBs currently use internet software to run their business? What % will eventually? Recurring revenue B2B saas, as a business model and industry, is still *very early*. https://t.co/T0IyYiEnnG 4 0 0 0 224 .
May 14 An idea I can’t get out of my head For most people, time is substantially more valuable than money. Many goods and services are paid for with both money *and time* Organizations that impose unnecessary time costs on users are unethical and will eventually be viewed as such 13 1 3 0 276 .
May 13 @lisaxunyc Do these tarot readers make predictions about people’s future that they present as the truth? And charge them for it? If so it is absolutely predatory. 0 0 0 0 162 .

May 01 Love this from @jorenrui - super neat way to construct "learning paths" out of the huge amount of educational content that exists but is scattered across different platforms. Also super impressive product that was built as a side-project - slick design, great ux, super fast 🔥🔥 https://t.co/giJwMNPqTC 7 0 0 0 301 .

Apr 30 @xaviablaza I just think that, as misdeeds go, that's minor in comparison to an employer taking advantage of crab mentality to keep jobseekers from being ambitious, encouraging them to point fingers at each other rather than at the employers, who in a lot of cases should be paying more. 1 0 0 0 287 .
Apr 30 @xaviablaza My experience is that both candidates and employers will mix-and-match arguments during salary negotiations - using the college brand name lacks tact, sure, better to argue on merit. 1 0 0 0 194 .
Apr 30 @xaviablaza Oh man, have to say I disagree. The Entitlement argument is the textbook response to an employer realizing they're on the demand side of the market. The moment that grad gets a 60k offer somewhere else, is it still entitlement? Or was the offer mis-priced? 2 0 0 0 268 .

Apr 20 @patriciamou_ @rabbitholes_ @airtable @atlas_knowledge @patriciamou_ we also have some stuff planned that seems like it would add value to @rabbitholes_ such as shared topics (allow your audience/circle to submit links to your collection w/ approval) and a bunch more. Would love to show you around if you're interested 😁 1 0 0 0 323 .
Apr 20 @patriciamou_ @rabbitholes_ @airtable I may be slightly hijacking the original point of your thread here so apologies😬 This is sweet! And I was using @airtable exactly like this, but wanted something more custom, so I built @atlas_knowledge. It works very similarly but goes a bit further 😁 https://t.co/MEz6aK07AV 1 0 0 0 315 .

Apr 14 @dhh You’re diluting your point by being overly hyperbolic here - those kinds of apps, whilst not medical-grade, are also not scams - they’re not generating a random number to trick you into thinking they’re actually measuring something, which is what the tweet implies 1 0 0 0 269 .

Apr 13 I feel like there’s huge opportunity here. I’m an edge case now but post-pandemic I’d guess there’ll be a lot more people who’ll get fed up sinking time and energy to comply with infrastructure that wasn’t designed for them. Not just banking. https://t.co/0W1dLY9uXg 1 0 0 0 266 .
Apr 13 Let me qualify that “avoid” up there 👆. If you’re “inside the happy path”, - single company/employer, single fixed abode, you’re probably safe w/ @RevolutApp . If you’re self-employed/nomadic in any way, don’t risk it 0 0 0 0 217 .
Apr 13 My biggest takeaway is that even the shiniest “Neobanks” are still just a thin veneer over an archaic underlying system. My guess is the reason they’re having trouble is that I’m an “atypical” case - Irish citizen living in Philippines w/ HK company, which they can’t handle. https://t.co/m190AuTRoy 4 0 0 0 299 .
Apr 13 I’ve been paying $17/month for @RevolutApp precisely to avoid customer service nightmares like this. Complete marketing fluff - if your account gets restricted the “priority support” is “please wait an indefinite amount of time, I cannot do anything” https://t.co/8VtGvtR3yb 0 1 0 0 274 .
Apr 13 This is turning into the kind of nightmare you hear happening with PayPal. “Your account is restricted, we can’t tell you why, or when it will be unrestricted” Being treated like a criminal despite being a paying customer for 2 years. Strongly recommend avoiding @RevolutApp https://t.co/3XPDg6mfI6 https://t.co/p4HIMyKR8z 4 1 0 0 322 .

Apr 11 I can see Cloudflare Workers becoming a much more common part of the average stack. I built my first one a month ago and have since deployed 5 more - there’s *so* much you can do with them once you get the basics down. https://t.co/9SKkl8MKc2 9 1 0 0 242 .
Apr 10 @dan_abramov Was in literally the exact same boat 2 years ago.

Apr 02 @fplaza @RevolutApp Example: I submitted docs in November. They didn’t action anything. This week my payments stopped arriving. No sign in the app, no notification. Only way to get a response is publicly tagging on Twitter. So bad https://t.co/5r1bauQTBx 0 0 0 0 254 .

Apr 02 @fplaza @RevolutApp Depends. Sometimes you get a response. Other times it can be days. The product is excellent when you don’t need customer support. But as soon as you need to speak to someone it’s really bad. Customer support is not their focus 1 0 0 0 246 .
