    Fascinating. We’re seeing the same thing. Seeing a few companies opt for Coda as a way to convert some sheets to processes. Here’s what we’ve done with it: https://supsync.com/squa…

    This is fantastic. I’d love to chat with you about it. Super powerful to have intel on the tech stack. Might be a bigger opp for you in RevOps. I’m on Twitter @briansowards or your…

    The contribution of engineers to capital creation massively exceeds 20% over the past 30 years. Relative pay increase is such a scam. Having seen it up close, the even greater issu…
