I've helped 4 B2B subscription services go from zero to £1 million+

- All are still in business today.
- All did it with fewer than 10 people.
- 99% of revenue via self-service @stripe payments.

The first £100K was always hardest.

The rest came from repeating what worked.

@dhh What I don't get about you tech bros, is how on the one hand you can seem so smart in your individual businesses, and then when you turn your attention elsewhere, you can immediately appear so utterly ill-informed, factually inaccurate, naive, foolish and quite frankly dangerous.

.@jot is taking about how great developers do more than just development 🙌

@yarotheslav @andrewculver I've always use ngrok for that... and I love that ngrok became a Urlbox customer a couple of years ago :)

I pay for ngrok but I can't see a reason for not being able to do it on their free plan.

If costs of screenshots in dev are an issue and quality isn't Ferrum probably best.

@andrewculver @yarotheslav All good options.

Friendly reminder that https://t.co/USmcMsdniA is where many Ruby teams come when they hit the limitations of the alternatives.

Woke up to learn that this is officially the most popular thing I've ever said on the internet. 🤯

[Jonathan Markwell 🇺🇦 @jot]

Bonkers.

This has already had more engagement than all but 4 of my posts on here.

I only have 12.15% of the followers over there.

[Jonathan Markwell 🇺🇦 @jot]

All but one now. And that one was paid.

[Jonathan Markwell 🇺🇦 @jot]

Based on my feed over in the good place the only person we're now all missing is @aarondfrancis.

There is some creepy stuff going on to make up for his absence.

My most popular post there is about databases. 🤷‍♂️

The rest of you are probably fine to stay here ;)
