Transparent in retrospect is not, in fact, transparent.

I'm shocked no one has mentioned Close.com

I've been using it for close to ten years and can't imagine using another CRM.

I believe they were an early YC company as well.

What does Twenty do that Close doesn’t or can’t do?

(I’m a huge Close fan.)

I've long wondered why there are no college courses on sales.

Almost every company has a sales department and there are tons of careers in sales, yet there is no formal path to learning in higher ed.

Does RDS require a lot of maintenance and management?

No one on our team has DevOps or DBA experience -- we feel good about Heroku PG (even as inflated prices).

“Letting this narrative persist”

As if it’s in their purview to control. Ask the poor PR folks at CFA (chicken QSR)

I wonder if the author’s primary gripe is with

1. VCs funding a so-called “servant economy” or… 2. The fact that there are these businesses that perpetuate some form of servanthood (to use the author’s parlance)

If the gig marketplaces were bootstrapped, is there still an inherent problem?

Mike Perham from Sidekiq (OSS Ruby background worker) has office hours every Friday for an hour. I've gone before and he was really helpful.
