@AntoineMinoux as a european, why is a drink $14?

@aporia9n we just need to stop trying to fit everything into a box

you can build a company being fat

you can be ugly and find an attractive SO

etc etc

reality is not a video game, it's full of exceptions, anomalies, luck, random events and counterintuitive stuff

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@mpetyx they definitely have the CaPex to afford that, unlike some other AI labs

wouldnt be surprised tbh

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@BenyaminHolley some time ago i'd call this a cynical take

but sadly youre on point

its a matter of what game you want to play. You learn what you want & you play the game that suits you the best

some people want the 50+ person company job

some want the 10pers. cracked startup

some want 1k+

@TechSalesGuy we're all dopamine addicts

@fin465 the best founders i know literally are doing this and moving to low cost of living countries + building products most people would never understand

@BenyaminHolley B2C startup with no moat & 26yo founder out of ivy league + 4y BCG

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

You can understand a lot about a startup based on how they dress for group photos for magazines etc etc

You can sometimes spot the ones that have no idea how to sell just from those photos

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@harriskennyx pricing is also meh

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@harriskennyx just another provider in my mind

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@salesxsaas i think you dont really need to be even a seller to understand that ai sdr slop machines were never going to work

sales is not just pulling up a couple lists and sending messages

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@nikitabier what does this mean for X? @nikitabier

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@gtmba_ @BrianLaManna_ Depends on the business as well

Growth VS lifestyle

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@heyaleksandr @0interestrates the hungry notice the bread first ;)

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@elliscrosby isnt it more generous that claude?

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@ishverduzco GTME's be like: "this is about me?"

[Sotiris Gianniris @sotirisgiann]

@brandon_galang @monid_ai that means you joined the right position man

same thing for me with Relevance

entered as a smart technical AE (claude code what?)
