Growth @ Lovable

[elena verna @ElenaVerna]

This reads like a man discovering he’s bad at multitasking and context switching, then blaming remote work for it. Typical.

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

Why Remote Work is White Collar Fraud.

"I have a three-year-old and a five-year-old. The idea that I could do any work at my house is like a total fantasy.

The kids come home at 3pm, your work day needs to keep going. I'm highly against it." @typesfast

[Lovable @Lovable]

You can just start.

[Bryan Bischof fka Dr. Donut @BEBischof]

too real

[elena verna @ElenaVerna]

New aspirational project: become viral on X
Problem: have never really posted on X
Proposed solution: plug myself directly into the chaos
Why I deserve to win: survived LinkedIn

Scope: opinions and jokes
Out of scope: staying in my lane

Target audience: you

Success metric: followers & re-tweets
Anti-metric: overwhelming feeling of ick

Known risks: becoming unbearable
Known dependencies: inspiration

LFG.

Some ideas are too loud to ignore.

Because the best way to celebrate International Women’s Day isn’t another panel, another hashtag, or another box of chocolates.

It’s access. Access to skills that change your trajectory.

Everyone in 2025:
SEO is dead.
Paid marketing is dead.
Marketing is dead.
Design is dead.
SaaS is dead.
Your company? Probably dead.

Also everyone in 2025:
We’re hiring a Head of Marketing with 10 years of experience in everything that’s dead. Oh, and must be proficient in excel.

Long live excel.

@Thomasbcn @substack I do not see this revenue they ‘gifted’ away. It’s just a coupon code in disguise. Only if someone stays after this ‘gift’ expires will I see anything

[Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan]

Dropbox competing directly with DocuSign? Just got an email advertising this product (I'm a Dropbox customer: I assume they sent it out to all customers)

And why not:

Dropbox market cap: $9.8B, 18M paying users.

Docusign market cap: $9.5B, 1.4M paying users.
