If you can send a building into space, land it on a postage stamp floating in an ocean... I have high-confidence you can solve production line scaling challenges.
It's sad when we pay $5 for a coffee made in 5 minutes that we'll drink in 3... but not $5 for an app that took 5 months that we'd use daily for a year.
Is the world's oldest profession prostitution or cheating? Cheating in sport started as soon as people cared about the outcome, only now with ubiquitous data sources has it become increasing hard to succeed at. Cheaters hope they fly just between the fine line of amazement in their outcome and interest that would invoke investigation and lead to their downfall. The bank robber whose holdup note is written on the back of their deposit slip never thinks they'll be caught, so is the athlete who fails to consider the power of the data and dedication of slighted peers to unearth it.
I'm not in disbelief that she was caught, only that so many others weren't... Yet.
Active users = check
Value delivered = check
Inability to develop profitable GTM plan = check
I didn't read about funding in the article, but outside of $ a VC or Angel will provide a network and path to solve GTM challenges AND get you in front of the right people for an exit.
I'm sure if this app called an Uber/Lyft timed to plane landing it could find a home...
As terrible as it is to write this, (while still really early and I'm far from a NTSB expert), but if you had to pin a failure event on human or design, you'd be better to have it rest on human cause.
Resolution could then be practiced or automated out of existence, versus structural design that could take years to resolve.
Glad to see this posted, AWS wasn't initially a fan of it as the artwork used infringed their brand but happy a common ground was found. Attendee feedback has been amazing.
Having worked on the IT and Biz side of tech companies (happily SaaS closing that gap daily) I can tell you the logic patterns are diametrically opposed.
IT = born problem solvers, nothing is too big, small or complicated
BIZ = friction solvers, nothing can be too efficient
The struggle isn't that 'you' could do it (better, faster or even cheaper) in your mind... but that if isn't a core competency moving your business forward, write a check and let someone else handle the core. Break free from the burden of 'undifferentiated heavy lifting' and improve your core product.
We sell a SaaS solution and in turn I write ~20 checks to other SaaS providers a month to keep me focused on improving our customer's experience.
My $.02 as someone involved in the space, it means:
* Docker isn't going away anytime soon * All the big IaaS and PaaS players will be re-positioning to incorporate * That the pin has been pulled on the future acquisition
They are becoming too big to be solo... and I'm thrilled for their team
What does this mean for me?
