I'm from Gruntwork; we're the maintainers of Terragrunt. We get this question a lot because Terragrunt did in fact start as a feature shim for Terraform. But that was a long time ago and Terragrunt has evolved into a first-class &

Your main pitch is on open source standardized contracts and that definitely resonates, but as a current Ironclad user where they’re our single-most expensive SaaS subscription, your contract lifecycle management system built for startups i

(This is my second feature request on this thread; apologies for any noise.) Stripe Billing helpfully allows you to set the original subscription start date to a past date, but only at subscription creation time. If we could modify the su

by joshpadnick 4y ago
Yep, tried that. But we want an auto-renewing contract of 12 months, and subscription terms require you to have an end date.

by joshpadnick 4y ago
We use Stripe Billing and it's gone very well overall, but the biggest miss for us is that Stripe conflates "contract term" with "billing frequency." We sign up customers for annual contracts but bill them monthly,

I really appreciate these suggestions. We're a fully bootstrapped ~20 person, $5M+ ARR company in the DevOps space. We're growing quickly and often wonder what an extra $1.5 - $3M could mean for us, but don't want the overhea

Naive but genuine question: What are the major advantages of switching to an ARM processor? From Apple’s keynote, I gathered that there’s the benefit of instant-on, and allowing iPhone/iPad apps to just work in MacOS, but are there som

What you're missing is that there's overhead in writing CSS-in-JS. You have to switch context from HTML to JS, you have to keep track of the "link" between your CSS-in-JS and your React component, you have to deal with c

Thank you for clarifying! Do you offer the "standard deal" to such companies, or do you propose something more custom in these situations? I didn't see mention of this on ycombinator.com.

See my reply to sibling comment for what we're looking for. Re: debt, we've considered it, but our goal is to expand knowing the economic environment might hit us harder than expected. So equity feels like a better fit. In the end

> In this case, why would you be interested in YC? What would it offer you? It's a fair point. The irony is that because our startup is doing well, we'd rather spend our time talking to customers and building the product than p

Our startup is profitable, scaling, and in the single-digit millions of revenue per year. We don't have any investors but are still capital constrained. The default YC valuation of $125k/0.07 = ~$1.8M is way too low for us, nor do

I remember the shock about 10 years ago when I saw that PracticeFusion wholesale-copied the website design of Mint.com and then just customized it to their own business[0]. It struck me as boldly unethical, and 10 years later this opioid po
