I build software for a living and tinker with things for fun. AI, enterprise apps, side projects. Probably on a mountain bike. Hamilton, NZ.

@ArloSmartHome used to be so good. It’s been a bug riddled disaster for months now. Just got woken up by a person knocking on all our windows. Arlo “armed” doesn’t record anything or notify. I even subscribe to your monthly service. Hopeless. Sort out the modes/automation please

[Nick Kemp @kempnick]

@DaltonEdwards Like the idea! What are you building it with?

@alexiskold @2048vc What's the most common post cheque "oh-no, you wanna do what?!" moment?

@Austen In terms of metrics, we have our own growth formula, subs, churn and what ever feature we’re monitoring. Still learning this stuff🤔 we’re about to try google big query to segment our retention info which is a bit of a mystery right now.

@Austen We use @geckoboard for daily stuff. But use excel and spend a day once a week diving into/calculating our data. It’s not hi tech but we’ve found we have a closer relationship with what’s happening because it is so manual.

[Nick Kemp @kempnick]

Fantastic idea. Would love to see this in our cities, or hear about similar setups in NZ

@dougscott Have always found that salary is a good challenge to do better. Pay more and you will find a way to cover it and some; it’s uncomfortable and that’s the point. This is a bootstrapped POV. Probably different with other ppls 💰

@BrianNorgard They do want good, but are happy to pay for ok, if it delivers on improving their lives. The drive to deliver good comes from the maker.

Every marketing meeting we have:

“wait I’ve got it! I’ve totally got it!”

*intense whiteboarding*

Followed quickly by:

*intense whiteboard cleaning*

“Yeah don’t worry”

@Nick_Craver Just an opportunity to get more tools 🧰 👍

@kvlly I often forget I started; so my projects folder is full of: dashboard, dashboard2,dashboard2_react

@maiab They already winning with you if you can question your own equity offer from the outset. Money is easier to find than decent people.

Switched to @TablePlus this week, software of this quality doesn’t come along often, especially in the dev space. Totally awesome🤘🏻🙏

@kvlly Celebrate randos 3 year anniversary at rando co!

[Nick Kemp @kempnick]

Smelled gas, called the gas company. Got told to press 2 next time; Next time? Really? I’m worried about exploding, probably give zero fucks about your IVR
