In what has turned out to be interesting timing, we launched @render's first customer workloads on our own bare metal hardware a few minutes ago.

Distributed execution 👀
Built-in observability 😮
Just an SDK 🤯

Meet Cynical Sally @thecynicalsally.

She runs on Render, scores your code 0-10, and does not round up.
→ Free tier, zero dependencies
→ Open-source, fully auditable
→ A CLI flag that blocks bad deploys

The joke is your code.

@getfincent I’ve requested a demo twice and both times I get an email for a demo in the past, not very confidence inspiring.

What do smaller startups use as a lightweight data platform / an alternative to setting up Looker?

Ideally want to:

- Build a single source of truth from multiple data sources
- Lightweight BI + Analytics

Don't need all the functionality & enterprise pricing of Looker

I’m thrilled to announce the debut of Theory Ventures (@theoryvc) & our first fund of $230m.

I’ve spent my career as a student of startups. I’ve worked for two, invested in many, seven of which became unicorns.

One of our beta customers literally said "I've been waiting for this my whole life". Yep, it's that good.

[Hank Green @hankgreen]

OK, YouTube just announced very huge news for people in my world....they are going to start monetizing shorts and sharing the revenue and everyone (including, in some comms /YouTube itself/) is saying that creators get 45% but that's...not true.

So let's talk about that:

@Superhuman You seem obsessed with efficiency, great. But WHY is delete Shift+#??? Excessive for the most common shortcut i use. It should be "d" or let me customize.

[n2parko @n2parko]

I promised @twilio @segment was shipping something epic today and HERE IT IS

Today we’re launching Destination Actions, which is a new approach to integrations

monster 🧵 on why we built this…and what it tells us about where we're at in the SaaS Cycle

@bottomless how long before we see more products from y’all? I want to auto-order beef jerky, toilet paper, etc

Whoa.

[Jesse Germinario @jgerminario]

Excited to have been featured in @segment's Growth Masters series, where I highlight the importance of thinking about subscription-product fit for subscription businesses. Glad to bounce around any questions/thoughts this brings up!

[Graham Hunter @MarketerGraham]

If you haven't tried @airtable Automations, they are AMAZING, so much less coordinating Zaps and tables/views. The only thing missing now is better email formatting (let me use my gmail formatted signature!)

[Graham Hunter @MarketerGraham]

.@uhaul’s Truck Share 24/7 is anything but! They cancelled my reservation as I pulled up 90 min from home. Just about the worst customer service I’ve had.
