@isaiahthomas Remember when @CHILLCONROY was wearing the ginger 16s? 🔥

[Matt Althauser @malthauser]

@sytses This is an awesome resource. @benjarom3 and I watched everything on feature flags at @GetFlagsmith to see how we could align with your team’s product vision and integrate.

@dsiroker For entrepreneurship to be worth the risk/reward, it needs to be rare enough for talented people to join founders that chase dreams. 16% of US adults are entrepreneurs, what % do you think is optimal?

[Flagsmith @GetFlagsmith]

So happy to see feature flagging solutions like Flagsmith and @gofeatureflag listed on the @CloudNativeFdn Cloud Native Interactive Landscape. Right with @OpenFeature.

Plus a new feature flagging section 🚀

@dsiroker putting on a masterclass out here. Giddy up @RewindAI 🏇🏇🏇

We are growing ARR 52% m/m! 📈

A big reason why is this formula:
1. hitch a ride to the "current thing" (Sam getting fired)
2. create valuable related content (how to keep control)
3. offer a generous promotion (a year free)

Examples of other companies doing the same?

[Matt Althauser @malthauser]

@alex_barashkov @rive_app Yes! It’s like @GetFlagsmith for your home. :)

Today, OpenAI announced they are releasing the ChatGPT Store, an App Store for ChatGPT

Shopify Apps: 33,000 apps, $561M of revenue
App Store: 1.8M apps, $910B of revenue
ChatGPT Store: 0 "agents", $0 revenue

Probably millions of agents, billions revenue soon

I wish I had created an app for Apple App Store in 2009 when App Store came out

Tons of opportunity to be building for ChatGPT right now. I wouldn't want to miss it.

These paradigm shifting moments happen once every 15 years

1. Consultants pre chat-gpt:

Good at directed tasks, not good at strategic direction.

2. Consultants post chat-gpt:

Better at directed tasks, terrible at strategic direction.

The demo includes Ask Rewind powered by Llama 2 running entirely locally!

Bonus: As of today, Rewind can also run on Intel-based Macs!
