Yeah, it likely should have.

I've however been on the receiving end of some very odd board behavior and most founders I know have a story or two as well. I don't always take board decisions at face value. Reality is often askew, personality disorders run rampant in places of power, and there can be unknown incentives at play.

Sam lost the plot for me. He took too many interviews which led me to not trust him. Last straw came with him standing by Anthropic one day then throwing them under the bus the next. He showed little awareness on why that is problematic.

Buildforce is building a marketplace for construction tradespeople to get jobs with construction firms. We grew 10% week over week in 2021 and are off to an even better year in 2022.

You'll work in a small but rapidly growing team building product for workers, construction firms, and our internal users.

We're an AWS Typescript shop. On the FE, we're writing React/React Native. On the BE, we're Serverless with SST Framework.

We're hiring mobile engineers (React Native) and mid-level to senior engineers working mainly on the backend.

Reach out to me at [email protected] or view our jobs https://joinbuildforce.recruitee.com/.

We’ve been using Retool for the past few months and I just want to say thanks. It’s saved us a slew of time and y’all are always responsive to any issues I’ve run into.

We've been using full Serverless for the past year with Serverless framework little to no issues. Sure, a single server would be a little bit quicker but that is my only major complaint.

Looks like an MVP to me.

I have not but my co-founder worked at Uber for 5+ years. He said they had engineers basically building whatever anyone wanted. He said they built their own Slack more or less just because they could.

If you aren't familiar with it, take a look at their examples. You can do whatever you'd like with it.
