$40m rev attributed

[MattyIce @mattjklk]

Let me intro myself - no degree - first sales job $11hr call center.

- last 5 years: grew $10m in fintech rev, $8m in LMS, grew an agency to $125k/mo, sold

- last 5 months closed $104k + 500k pipeline for a seed co

Now I’m in SF from Alabama after a company relo’d me here.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

That was the most insane product demo I’ve ever seen. Well done Tesla!

If your employees are 10xing usage and effective this is why you should fire IT and HR for making this really stupid decision.

It’s a meritocracy for AI usage. Shouldn’t be fair because then you’ll lose

[Mike Taylor @hammer_mt]

Accenture has told employees it will only fund 100 rows of excel per month. Meaning that employees who often use as many as 1,000 rows are scrambling to find ways to keep access.

[MattyIce @mattjklk]

Tbh many people shouldn’t get any AI tool if it’s a budget decision.

20 people at $30/mo that don’t even log in or use $2 worth of AI chat is bullshit.

Box out the lazy do nothings. Disproportionately award usage to achievers.

[Khalifa @saleskhalifa]

If your employer caps your AI usage at $30 a month

You do not work at a serious company

@anandPa94 You need an SE/SC to sell this?

[MattyIce @mattjklk]

This will make such a ludicrous amount of money compared to b2b GTM tech

If you’re just using this to build a website then yes it’s a scam.

Like using a gun to hang up a poster.

IMO skill issue.

[Ryan Doser @ryan_doser13]

Lovable is a scam.

So is Replit, Base44, Framer, and all AI website builders.

These are for low IQ people who don’t know how to use AI and fall for SaaS marketing gimmicks.

You are paying a premium for less usage, shittier models, shittier websites, and hand cuffing yourself to a SaaS ecosystem you don’t control.

A $100/month Claude Max plan (or ChatGPT Pro) is a better solution BY FAR

[MattyIce @mattjklk]

saw a linkedin post on paying taxes for a premium office area in the UK while having crack dealers next to kids by your doors.

the responses were to get a sprinkler system installed.

you guys are cooked bro.

Dog owners in public have no accountability

[Defiant L’s @DefiantLs]

Imagine getting bitten by a dog in the middle of a marathon and the owner’s reaction is to just laugh

How does one respond to this?

[Praetor @FourVork]

I knew a guy about a year ago, a roommate of a friend in San Francisco

He'd apply to these executive AI roles even though he was 23 years old. Didn't even look much younger.

He'd tailor his resume exactly to the job description, and totally fabricate his experience in the interview.

That man was a master bullshit artist. Truly elite, never seen anything like it since.

Last I checked LinkedIn he landed Head of AI Transformation gig at an a16z company, pulling $280k/year

His entire transformation program was a Claude subscription, some generic .md files and a slide deck about becoming "AI-first company."

And he'd casually drop "MoE," "test-time compute" and "harness moat" into conversations.

Active on linkedIn, always at conferences, partying with execs and telling them to become an "AI-first company."

Just looked him up on LinkedIn. He's now the CEO of an a16z-backed startup building an "autonomous workforce."

That guy didn't even know how to run local models, and his AI alignment strategy was writing NEVER HALLUCINATE .md files.

Many such cases.

[MattyIce @mattjklk]

GTM tech is really fun, but you're going to constantly be competing with a variety of loser vaporware until the end of time.

buyer perception is that everything is the same and should take no effort on their part

one way ticket to saudi arabia - great song name

[Exec Sum @exec_sum]

BREAKING: The OpenAI employee who was arrested and charged with using a hidden recording device in one their San Francisco offices had a one-way ticket to Saudi Arabia booked for October 12.

[MattyIce @mattjklk]

@Danarriola13 @YahooFinance @Meta frankly most orgs kill anyone actually doing anything useful

lot of slow people that suck ass at these companies

[MattyIce @mattjklk]

20 years as an SWE will fix even the worst financial habits apparently

[Blind @JoinBlind]

Left Meta, kept the $200K salary, lost the corporate BS.

[MattyIce @mattjklk]

its really easy to tell, usually they're humping micro stats like email sends and positive replies but can't fundamentally compare smb/mm/ent/strat sales processes depending on biz model for the company doing it

[Khalifa @saleskhalifa]

9/10 people who claim they are “GTM Engineers”

Have never been in charge of an entire organizations qualified pipeline number

And it shows

Should change their title to:

GTM Token Maxxers or GTM Larpers

Would better describe what they are doing everyday
