My guess is that the higher plans will be next, especially as more people upgrade to those and maximize their usage.

Hey, a Cessna 150 is cool airplane! I started my training on my local airport 152. I think Aviation101 uses one of those for his YouTube channel.

Thanks for the feedback. There are other general purposes ePaper devices out there meeting that need (TRMNL comes to mind). I wanted something smaller for my desk that looked like a cockpit instrument. That's why I created this.

I am curious to see if there is more general use demand for this form factor.

Apple has also seemingly stopped caring about the quality and efficiency of their software. You can see this especially in the latest iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26 versions of their operating systems. They need their software leadership to match their hardware leadership, otherwise good hardware with bad software still leads to bad product, which is what we are seeing now.

I don't know about CircleCI specifically, but generally, pre-IPO companies are pushed to reinvest profits in favor of aggressive/continued growth, instead of profit. Most companies intentionally overspend, but now that the investments are drying out, they are changing their posture. So, I would guess it's the former, i.e., letting people go to reduce the risk of running out of money.

At the same time, depending on how the business is doing, some investors might look for exits too instead of plateau or later raising another round. So, it could be both.
