Congrats on the launch. Sign-up was super smooth and the product is compelling. Will be testing it with some of the agent work I'm doing on agent.ai. If you're ever looking for a super low-maintenance indie investor, please reach

One of my favorite books on the actual practice of programming. The other one is "Code Complete".

That's fair feedback. We're working on making the UX better -- especially around the Agent Builder. Lots of work to do, and we're still a tiny team (but growing).

Thanks for noticing my post, building agents.json and open sourcing it. This is why the Internet is awesome.

Very much clicked for me. Loved this line: "I’ll discuss a few boring things we do that help us keep things boring."

Thanks for including a search provider for HubSpot and best wishes with the launch. Disclosure: I'm one of the founders of HubSpot so a bit biased. :)

I'm from HubSpot (I'm one of the founders). This was our second year doing the "Week of Rest". It was an experiment we ran last year. It ended up being a good idea and works well.

This is a really useful thread with posts from people actually using LLMs. I wonder if Claude-100k could be used to ingest this entire thread and then answer questions based on it, or summarize or identify the pros/cons of certain aspe

This is how I've been thinking about it. Hybrid interfaces that combine visual cues and output and natural language input.

I'm Co-founder/CTO of HubSpot. There are many things I admire about Salesforce. But, we decidedly don't want to become like Salesforce when we grow up. We have been committed to SMBs for 16+ years now, and not planning to cha

Thanks for the kind words. I don't consider myself a "brilliant" engineer. More of an experienced engineer. I've been building software products for 30+ years. I think the role of the CTO varies based on the scale of the

Great to hear from you Zack. Thanks for chiming in and sharing your positive experience. Hope all is well.

Can confirm. :) I've been glued to this discussion thread all morning. Resisting the temptation to respond to many of the messages, because I don't want to come off as defensive. Thanks for chiming in. Have many good memories of y

First and foremost, it's for the ~4,000 people that work at HubSpot and who actually create the culture and live it day-to-day. Second, it's for those that want to better understand HubSpot and how we work. It may be because the

Candidly, this year, because of the pandemic, we've come closer together as a group. Not quite a family -- but closer. Also, I needed to make room in the deck to articulate our position on diversity and inclusion.

by dshah 6y ago
I agree with you on that front. In earlier versions of the deck, we actually explicitly called out that we are NOT a family. We are a team with a common goal. You don't get to choose your family, but you do get to choose your team.

Thanks for the warning. I hear you. My direct experience is that there will be some that will be cynical -- that's OK. A big lesson for me personally is that working on culture as a "product" is very useful. Collect customer

The product I'm most proud of having worked on. Hundreds of hours invested for over a decade. Yes, it's a slide deck -- but think of it as a template. Shared with the community with love.

At scale, recruiting is often about marketing. It's about conveying a compelling story that pulls people in.

Congrats to the api.ai team. I love when great companies do well. I'm a happy customer (and wish I were also an investor, but I'm not).

I'm using wit.ai as well, and overall it's working well for me. But, the new story-based functionality is something I still haven't been able to get comfortable with -- and it still feels very early. So, that part I'm st
