9 months ago we publicly committed to 2x the productivity of our R&D org at @intercom.

It was scary. It wasn't always clear we'd pull it off.

We hit it with 3 months to spare. In fact, looking back 16 months - we've 3x'd.

Here's what actually happened (with receipts): 🧵

We've been building an internal Claude Code plugin system at Intercom with 13 plugins, 100+ skills, and hooks that turn Claude into a full-stack engineering platform. Lots done, more to do. Here's a thread of some highlights.

[Darragh Curran @darraghcurran]

Complexity slows you down…. unless you fight against it.

We made a concerted effort to make pricing at Intercom simpler and fairer, and reengineered our billing system on top of Stripe, for improved capability and pace of iteration. Doing so has been better for our customer and better for business. Furthermore it enables us to move faster too which compounds these benefits.

I’m very proud of the team who took strong ownership of this and had the tenacity and grit to follow through, and grateful for our partnership from @stripe too.

(the journey is nicely captured by the chart below, pricing 5 being the model that displaces all our legacy models)

So much of the industry advice was to not do what we did, but our takeaway has been, like with many hard challenges you will face, we should have done it sooner.

Where else are decisions from your past slowing you down today, and what would it mean to you to be free from them?

I love this every single time. Always a great initiative from @ConorN11 at @thesweeps_io to raise funds for charities and sporting clubs across Ireland.

With all of that being said, surely everyone is picking Rory from Group 1? No need to zag when everyone else is zigging..
