I want to say as an engineer that cold calls aren't effective but I feel like it's just due to the numbers of how many calls you can make per hour. If you can increase the number o…

This is why I stopped working at companies that build dev tools. Building sales/marketing tools because they love having anything built for them lol

The previous limit on this endpoint was 500 associations per request and now it's 100. Essentially reducing throughput by 5x and they call it a "bug fix" Honestly as bad as SFDC ca…

https://www.g2.com/products/merge/reviews/merge-review-8334916 I wrote this review for Merge.dev back in 2023 and gave them a 1 star review since I felt like their API really wasn'…

What do you mean tell HN? I don't use this site that much, like do I just tag the submission with it?

The biggest thing is I no longer have access to the email address where I wrote the review and I wonder if they recognized that and went and edited it since I wouldn't be checking?…

I don't use twitter :(

I gave Merge.dev a 1 star review on G2 after my poor experiences with them(https://www.g2.com/products/merge/reviews/merge-review-8334916) I did so with a company account but I had…

Used Merge to hook up some HRIS and ATS systems at my old job and I'm genuinely not sure how they sell themselves as a unified API product - Their entire scheme is just possibly un…

Drones have changed warfare at a local tactical level. But your drones and smaller autonomous systems aren't helping if you have overwhelming firepower superiority, ie in Gaza dron…

Man you’d fit right in at hubspot. Starts talking gibberish when a customer points out flaws.

Not sure how me pointing out none of their docs mention state transfer anywhere invalidates my issues with their API. L take buddy

We tried a mix of caching as well as hubspot webhooks, but we were still having issues with data not updating fast enough and most of the data we load has to be somewhat on demand …

I disagree with this especially when they launched their "new" platform in 2020: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/overview > HubSpot’s developer platform is a core part of o…

definitely. There's still just such a huge bottleneck when we have 20+ users having to queue up, and they end up complaining that they don't want to wait so long for data to come b…

Fair enough and I get it, I've been there. But for a 17 year old company worth ~30 billion to have this many issues compared to both newer startups(Salesloft/Outreach) and large in…

It's not just their API that sucks, even simple stuff like their marketplace is horribly managed. For shits and giggles I created an app for the marketplace and copied similar scre…

Has anyone else built integrations for hubspot and just been completely fed up with their terrible developer experience compared to other sales tools? Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo, …

You mean Texas lol. 30 years in SF and there’s been a couple blackouts during the summer for a n hour or 2.

You're not even 1%, maybe .000001%

Let’s be real the majority of these people getting laid off aren’t gonna grind for 2-3 years with low odds of succeeding. Same thing that happened with Twitter layoffs and any covi…

I want more details. Say they predicted X spot would have more crime and so the PD sent more patrols there. Wouldn’t that affect the amount of crime?

Here’s my thing. It’s kind of like calculators and computers. It’s fine to use calculators later on because once you’ve mastered basic division you don’t need to do it 40 million m…

Good get rid of Affirmative Action, get rid of Legacy status. Athlete's are fine. Having to go to a college with a bad football team always sucked personally so let's keep that pip…
