She just received her first @Shopify order and started crying. When I worked at Shopify I saw that reaction and what the first order meant for entrepreneurs through countless - incredible - videos. But this was the first time in person and in the moment. Beautiful.

These days going into Friday demos at @polar_sh feels like time traveling far into the future. I fucking love my team, company and having the privilege of doing this for a living, and at this stage in evolution.

Have some respect in this collective glass house of ours. Send HugOps, lean-in to assist, or be quiet. You can bash: - Product - Marketing - Support - .... You should never bash ongoing: - Security incidents - Downtime

I'm not saying you can't be upset, angry or frustrated. Or that you can't share that feedback. Or hold vendors accountable. Or choose to migrate. Just don't throw rocks in the moment. You're literally distracting them from rebuilding the ceiling where you stand in the midst of a storm.

This is especially true for competitors. Call me old school, but that shit is a signal of weakness and bully behavior.

Just witnessed an internal @polar_sh demo of our new usage metering engine. 3,750× faster than today. A 99.97% reduction in latency. Coming very soon.

After the web 2.0 days there has been little to no consumer focus amongst startups. But I think it’s time again. Talk to anyone outside of our tech bubble, and it feels like there is an enormous gap between how we see it vs how consumers leverage it.

to put in simple terms… if most billing systems are still waiting for the kettle to boil, Polar’s metering already has the tea poured.
