@darius I’m standing right behind you standing by it, I wish I had said it 🤗!
It’s kind of the antithesis of your talk but, one of my favorite things about my day-job is I make software for 50 coworkers. We’re never going to have thousands of users/coworkers, as the CTO is fond of saying. I can call/walk/fly to help someone having even a small problem. I can do a short binary search through the user base to get a good sense of the feeling about a feature I’m brewing.
There’s a lot of value in not-scaling tech-wise. It’s… fun and I hope more devs get to try it.
