    Congrats on the launch. Sign-up was super smooth and the product is compelling. Will be testing it with some of the agent work I'm doing on agent.ai. If you're ever looking for a s…

    One of my favorite books on the actual practice of programming. The other one is "Code Complete".

    Thanks for noticing my post, building agents.json and open sourcing it. This is why the Internet is awesome.

    Very much clicked for me. Loved this line: "I’ll discuss a few boring things we do that help us keep things boring."

    Thanks for including a search provider for HubSpot and best wishes with the launch. Disclosure: I'm one of the founders of HubSpot so a bit biased. :)

    I'm from HubSpot (I'm one of the founders). This was our second year doing the "Week of Rest". It was an experiment we ran last year. It ended up being a good idea and works well.

    This is a really useful thread with posts from people actually using LLMs. I wonder if Claude-100k could be used to ingest this entire thread and then answer questions based on it,…

    This is how I've been thinking about it. Hybrid interfaces that combine visual cues and output and natural language input.

    I'm Co-founder/CTO of HubSpot. There are many things I admire about Salesforce. But, we decidedly don't want to become like Salesforce when we grow up. We have been committed to SM…

    Thanks for the kind words. I don't consider myself a "brilliant" engineer. More of an experienced engineer. I've been building software products for 30+ years. I think the role of …

    Can confirm. :) I've been glued to this discussion thread all morning. Resisting the temptation to respond to many of the messages, because I don't want to come off as defensive. T…

    First and foremost, it's for the ~4,000 people that work at HubSpot and who actually create the culture and live it day-to-day. Second, it's for those that want to better understan…

    Candidly, this year, because of the pandemic, we've come closer together as a group. Not quite a family -- but closer. Also, I needed to make room in the deck to articulate our pos…

    I agree with you on that front. In earlier versions of the deck, we actually explicitly called out that we are NOT a family. We are a team with a common goal. You don't get to choo…

    Thanks for the warning. I hear you. My direct experience is that there will be some that will be cynical -- that's OK. A big lesson for me personally is that working on culture as …

    The product I'm most proud of having worked on. Hundreds of hours invested for over a decade. Yes, it's a slide deck -- but think of it as a template. Shared with the community wit…

    Disclosure: I am one of the HubSpot founders. Sorry for the poor experience you've had with the HubSpot CRM. We are working hard to make things better -- especially the APIs and ho…
