As the market matures over the next few years, our strategy and differentiation will shift away from "only we deliver o11y" to exploiting all the unusual capabilities of our storage tier. 😈🐝
It's interesting (and mildly embarrassing) how much I used to think this too. Holy fuckola, how wrong I was.
Huh? How is Honeycomb not exactly that, a managed platform for their custom DB?

Drill down from high level SLOs to see all of the dimensions, diffed in order of their degree of outlieriness vs the baseline? ✅
The raw speed and flexibility unlocks soooooo many product daydreams.
Teaching people to lean into their curiosity and follow the signal? Design (and product) problem.
We've been busy 🙃 we now have four in product, seven in design, and just doubled our engineering firepower. Every single one of them is ✨😍amazing 🔥🤩🐝
We will succeed largely to the extent that our design, product and engineering teams are equal players of equal caliber who love the shit out of each other.
In some ways, for a company like us, getting the product right is the easy (😩!) part. When you're creating a category, GTM is FUCKING HARD
Our sales team is the only one I know of in software that is 0% threatened by our generous free tier 🙃🌷
"Your sales folks are the only ones I'm ever genuinely happy to hear from" - a user 🌷
If an engineering candidate exoticizes or dismisses sales or marketing, they get an auto thumbs down from me.
I can say this shit all day, it's actions like these that make it real.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.
Listen to Aditya
And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK

Project: Lifelog
— Robert Horan (@Robby12692) December 13, 2018
Started by DARPA in 1999, the goal of Lifelog was to create a database on civilians without their knowledge, and track everything they do.
The project "ended" on Feb 4th, 2004.
Facebook began the exact same day.
