I want to say as an engineer that cold calls aren't effective but I feel like it's just due to the numbers of how many calls you can make per hour. If you can increase the number of dials like in this post it really makes more sen

This is why I stopped working at companies that build dev tools. Building sales/marketing tools because they love having anything built for them lol

The previous limit on this endpoint was 500 associations per request and now it's 100. Essentially reducing throughput by 5x and they call it a "bug fix" Honestly as bad as SFDC can be at least they don't continue to hur

What do you mean tell HN? I don't use this site that much, like do I just tag the submission with it?

The biggest thing is I no longer have access to the email address where I wrote the review and I wonder if they recognized that and went and edited it since I wouldn't be checking?

Drones have changed warfare at a local tactical level. But your drones and smaller autonomous systems aren't helping if you have overwhelming firepower superiority, ie in Gaza drones haven't inflicted too much damage if you can ju

Man you’d fit right in at hubspot. Starts talking gibberish when a customer points out flaws.

Not sure how me pointing out none of their docs mention state transfer anywhere invalidates my issues with their API. L take buddy

We tried a mix of caching as well as hubspot webhooks, but we were still having issues with data not updating fast enough and most of the data we load has to be somewhat on demand regarding tasks/sequences and outbounding features. ie

I disagree with this especially when they launched their "new" platform in 2020: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/overview > HubSpot’s developer platform is a core part of our mission to empow

definitely. There's still just such a huge bottleneck when we have 20+ users having to queue up, and they end up complaining that they don't want to wait so long for data to come back from hubspot

Fair enough and I get it, I've been there. But for a 17 year old company worth ~30 billion to have this many issues compared to both newer startups(Salesloft/Outreach) and large incumbents(Salesforce) is just unacceptable. I'

It's not just their API that sucks, even simple stuff like their marketplace is horribly managed. For shits and giggles I created an app for the marketplace and copied similar screenshots to what a competitor offered but then my applic

Let’s be real the majority of these people getting laid off aren’t gonna grind for 2-3 years with low odds of succeeding. Same thing that happened with Twitter layoffs and any covid layoffs. People wanting to build stuff to their hearts des

I want more details. Say they predicted X spot would have more crime and so the PD sent more patrols there. Wouldn’t that affect the amount of crime?

Here’s my thing. It’s kind of like calculators and computers. It’s fine to use calculators later on because once you’ve mastered basic division you don’t need to do it 40 million more times. But if you gave calculators to first graders I st

Good get rid of Affirmative Action, get rid of Legacy status. Athlete's are fine. Having to go to a college with a bad football team always sucked personally so let's keep that pipeline up.

Yep it used to be you could view individual tweets but nothing else. Elon came in removed it and made everything free to view. A couple months ago I noticed they went back to the old system. And now you can't even view individual tweet
