Working with Alex is one of those no-regret decisions. Tweet length is not enough to do justice to how impactful its been. We went from "cobbled-together-AI" to an actual sustainable approach. If you're on the fence I'd recommend just pull the trigger.
AI::Engine was originally a starter kit & the very first customer was @DoubleLoopApp (on the Enterprise package) - together we developed AI::Engine. They’re using the original code live as part of their incredible AI product. Amazing product - https://t.co/2g7wqxNC3B

I feel like I have another quote-tweet with the same content. After nearly 20 years of early stage startups (first 5 including founders), this is really spot on. It describes both times I've succeeded and failed.
How to be an elite startup employee The "social contract" that helps you become a rockstar employee at (most) high-autonomy, early-stage startups. Distilled from my (imperfect and incomplete) experience serving as an early employee & COO, then a founder. Practice the subtle art

This really resonates. Context: Founder twice and first hire at startups multiple times.
AN ODE TO EARLY EMPLOYEES I once had someone tell me: “Hari, you’re essential to this company, and we might have died if not for you. But we’re founders and you’re not, and nothing you do can change that." That single sentence shapes the entire way I think about the people at a

We had literally 1 issue in the last 2+ years of using the service. We're making plans to migrate our entire background queue to Mergent this spring. Its been phenomenal.

If you cannot be corrected without being offended, then you’ll never truly grow in life.
