@LynkCoGlobal I dis this again. I called again. I was promised a resolution again. Nothing happened again. This is pathetic. Please act.

@LynkCoGlobal your customer service in France is the worse I’ve seen so far. It’s been a month an a half since I reported a problem with the car and no repair service since then. No one calls me back despite repeated calls and emails. Is this how you consider your customers?

👀 Fast scaling has massive downsides: startups that scale more quickly fail more, but are no more likely to succeed than those that scale slower.

Why? Because scaling marks the end of experimenting. Startups that scale after lots of experiments succeed. https://t.co/MRHGIgCrDM

@enekoknorr Tengo un tío monje en el Monasterio Cisterciense Santa María de las Escalonias en la provincia de Córdoba. Tienen una hospedería. Más tranquilo que allí no podría estar.

Growth teams be like...

Metrics randomly go up:
Our users really love our new features!

But metrics mysteriously drop:
- analytics bug
- seasonality
- holiday
- bug in the last release - fixed now!
- Facebook ad system hiccup
- last week's KPIs were wrong. This is right
