cofounder and coo at @resend

@resend So jazzed for this!

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

@_christinacodes @jopcmelo @vcapretz Deal. I get to pick the song.

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

I love peppermint caramel macchiatos!

Not for the reason you think.

@vcapretz loves this drink. I give him a hard time about it every chance I get.

We needed a new billing system. It was not on the roadmap.

So I bribed him.

I told him I would post this if he helped me build it.

He did.

As of yesterday, sales can structure deals and set quotas the way they want. Product can bill for new features and test new quotas and tiers with almost no extra work.

Now I love this drink with all my heart.

Thanks, Vitor.

@vcapretz I’m a man of my word

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

@jopcmelo @vcapretz Who should I bribe next?

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

@_christinacodes @jopcmelo @vcapretz Silly software for a “I love Taylor Swift” post?

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

A new employee's first day is so important. Small blips can make a person feel unwelcome or insecure.

Using the same principles from UX and applying them to EX (employee experience), we want each new person to feel part of the team (the "Aha!" moment) as soon as possible.

For us, that means getting them into Slack.

The default assumption was to do this all by email, but email is slow, easy to miss threads, and makes people feel like they are not one of us yet.

After a person signs an offer, we add that person to Slack as a guest. Then the person can ask questions and get immediate response, but most importantly, they can feel that they are already on the team.

The hardest part of culture is the balance.

Someone asked what principle was hardest to keep from 3 people to 50.

I could only think of the failure mode: virtue favoritism. One good thing, left alone, goes toxic.

Being kind at all costs and lowering the bar.
Praising output no matter the means, and teaching that results buy the right to be disrespectful.

The magic happens when a web of virtues are strung together.

The work is keeping the tension.

@yarslav @dudufolio @shotbaseapp This is very much top of mind. We're working on a better pricing to unlock using contacts without getting "penalized" for it. Pinned for Q4.

"I don't get paid to say good things about Resend but... it's one of those 10/10, no notes".

@pumfleet from @calcom has been such a great partner from the early days and it's been a privilege to be able to support their scaling journey over the last few years.

@ay_ushr Only question is what type pain you want. No good options.

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

Couldn’t be more excited to have a fireside chat with @cjc at Resend Forward! You won’t want to miss this!

[Resend @resend]

We're thrilled to welcome @cjc to the stage at Resend Forward.

Cristina is Chief Operating Officer at @linear. Prior to her work there, she also led teams at Stripe and Notion.

We're looking forward to hearing how she shapes culture and guides her team's focus for better work.

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

@gabrielmfern Nah. Fresh takes are underrated.

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

@wen_rahme @ay_ushr Lots of dashboard building, document writing, strategy working. Ideally there is a quick way to take a local workflow and expose to the team as well.

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

Who's building Cursor/T3 for operators?

They are hyper-focused on dev lifecycles (obviously) but I find myself going back to more generic/closed tooling like Claude/GPT to not have a git-based workflow.

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

@ay_ushr That’s what I use, just wonder what a purpose built tool could look like.

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

My most recurring failure mode with AI is letting the model run before I understand the work myself, especially for greenfield projects. If I don't know what good looks like, the output is up to chance.

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

Highly recommend starting companies and having kids.

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

@vcapretz I've heard the best remedy for a hard workout is to work on some billing features.

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

@HeyAliux Truly

[Jonni Lundy @jonnilundy]

The highest leverage career advice I've ever received is to work with people smarter than myself.

Everything else is noise if that isn't the case.
