Agreed..I actually have a separate laptop (Windows) that I use for nothing but excel. Even Excel on Mac isn't the same as on Windows

Google sheets is useful for basic tasks. But as a power tool for complex models etc. it pales in comparison to excel. Not to mention that keyboard shortcuts are not the same which makes everything take significantly longer.

Composer | Software Engineers | Remote | Full-time |

Composer is a no-code platform for automated investment management. We focus on retail investors who are unhappy with the current suite of tools at their disposal, to help them make smarter investment decisions. Composer allows you to build, test, deploy, and manage automated investing strategies - all without writing a line of code.

We are currently funded and pre-launch, with an expected launch this quarter. As a customer obsessed team we have been validating our vision every step of the way. We write code in Clojure(Script) and are looking for full-stack developer who is very comfortable in Clojure(Script). The person we hire will be a thought-leader in the company and will be expected to demonstrate a high level of agency. Please respond to this thread if interested.

If we consider Doordash's approach to be similar to Amazon's then companies such as Chownnow and Ritual are more equivalent to Shopify. They want to arm mom and pop restaurants with the tools to enable delivery without the hefty commissions and fees. I know that personally I don't want to live in a world dominated by chain restaurants and sub-standard options simply because they are the only ones with power to negotiate favourable terms with Doordash etc.

Very early in someone's career most people's job interest is more a factor of environment, salary, perceived social status etc. than it is of true interest. This is also because at that stage you don't really know what interests you since academic life is so different from a real job or career. A clear example of this is how many students 10 yrs ago claimed to be interested in a career in investment banking, consulting etc. vs how many actually satisfied investment bankers there are.

Google's Meet has improved considerably and most importantly it comes free with G-Suite. They are also pushing it quite hard as every calendar invite has a Google Meet link automatically included.

The reason that people went with Zoom is "because it worked." As other products improve it's hard to see what Zoom's moat is and why we should continue to pay for it.

It has to do with supporting the winners that are actually going to return money to your investors. They are refusing to fall prey to sunk cost fallacy, which is a good thing.

Had the same issue. Found customer response times extremely slow, especially for a live chat app! Additionally, the way they broke down their pricing made no sense to me. At the end I wasn't sure what the incremental cost of adding features I wanted would be.

Shipping features without talking to users is a death knell. You end up with an bloated product that serves no one particularly well.

It sounds like all the other problems are just derivatives of this because all of the time was spent head down and "working" and no time spent being strategic, creative or learning what your customer base actually wants.

This is factually incorrect given that ~25% of the world literally does not eat pork

It would interesting to see some data on CEOs that were fired, at what stage and the eventual outcome for the company. My guess is that firing a founder-CEO before the Series B stage rarely leads to a positive long-term outcome.
