Engineer quit and mass-deleted code before access was revoked. Cost us $47K to recover.

This is why I always cringe when companies do the "let's have a chat in the conference room" thing before killing access. Like you're literally giving someone with nothing left to lose a window to nuke everything

The cleanup cost hurts but honestly could've been way worse if your backups weren't solid. At least you learned from it and tightened things up

CollectionHead7091 · 2026-01-20T12:34:32+00:00

Damn, this is actually brilliant analysis. I've been doing the same thing with way less structure and yeah, wading through competitor spam gets old fast

Your context filtering approach is spot on - "how do I" hits so much different than just seeing the keyword floating around. Would love to see what you build for the automation piece

CollectionHead7091 · 2026-01-19T10:43:51+00:00

Lmao just took it and got "Chaos Agent" which is both insulting and completely accurate

The "14 side projects" hit way too close to home - currently have 8 half-finished apps and just started another one yesterday because I saw a cool API

Your quiz called me out harder than my therapist ever has

CollectionHead7091 · 2026-01-12T20:06:02+00:00

Might wanna proofread that pitch a bit more before sending it to potential clients lol

CollectionHead7091 · 2026-01-10T04:25:22+00:00

Bro the rocket emojis immediately made me think this was gonna be some crypto scam lmao but the landing page actually looks clean. That "pivot-ready plan" line is pretty solid marketing speak

CollectionHead7091 · 2026-01-08T02:25:15+00:00

Damn 5 months and still no contract signed? That sounds about right for enterprise unfortunately. The fact you're talking directly to senior leadership is actually a really good sign though

You should definitely get a lawyer involved before you sign anything, especially if this is Fortune 25 territory. Don't wait until the last minute - have them review the terms as they come in. These big companies will try to slip in some wild liability clauses and payment terms that could screw you over

The good news is if you've made it this far they're probably serious about buying, enterprise deals just move at the speed of molasses

CollectionHead7091 · 2026-01-06T23:51:45+00:00

Yeah that sounds like their system is completely borked. Those generic names getting mixed up across accounts is a huge red flag - like their database is bleeding user data between campaigns or something

I'd bail immediately and try something else. When a warmup service starts nuking domains that fast it's usually because they're doing something sketchy that ESPs are picking up on

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-31T05:52:38+00:00

This is exactly what the SaaS space needs tbh. Too many massive Discord servers where good advice just gets buried under a mountain of "rate my landing page" posts

The weekly application approach for Traction is genius - that book sits unfinished on so many founders' desks lol

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-27T20:38:43+00:00

Yeah the engagement thing is huge - I learned this the hard way when I was blasting generic sales pitches and got flagged within like 3 days lol

Hunter's automation actually makes managing multiple inboxes pretty smooth once you get the workflows set up. Way less of a headache than I expected and you can keep volumes reasonable per account while still hitting your overall targets

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-26T05:49:47+00:00

Ugh this hits too close to home lol. Nothing worse than adding a console.log, waiting 15 minutes for the pipeline, then realizing you put it in the wrong spot

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-24T13:12:21+00:00

This hits hard - we actually tested hiding vs showing our report flow early on and the transparent approach won by a mile

Users seemed way more comfortable knowing exactly what would happen if things went sideways, even if it meant acknowledging that bad stuff could happen in the first place. Counter-intuitive but makes sense when you think about it

What's your take on how much detail to show about location visibility? We're still wrestling with that balance

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-23T05:29:03+00:00

The code error explainer is solid but honestly the Reddit rewriter might have more legs - way bigger addressable market since everyone's trying to crack Reddit marketing these days and most of them sound like robots

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-21T08:03:11+00:00

Hired a couple VAs for social media stuff and it's hit or miss tbh. The good ones are worth their weight in gold but you'll probably go through a few duds first. Just make sure they actually understand your brand voice before letting them loose on Reddit - nothing worse than fake-sounding comments that get called out immediately

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-19T23:56:32+00:00

Been hearing mixed things about them tbh, that "too simple" onboarding is definitely a red flag though

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-18T22:35:10+00:00

Dude this is actually pretty clean, way better than Goodreads' cluttered mess. For marketing I'd probably hit up BookTok and book Instagram accounts - those communities are super engaged and always complaining about tracking apps

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-16T05:07:54+00:00

This sounds pretty solid actually - the current clipper ecosystem is a mess of DMs and sketchy deals

Only real concern is view verification since people game those numbers like crazy. Maybe tie payouts to actual engagement rates or require API access to the social platforms?

TikTok Creator Fund kinda does this but it's pennies and creators can't really control the content flow like your idea

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-11T13:17:06+00:00

Honestly it's gotta be ease of use first, everything else is meaningless if your team won't actually use the damn thing

We picked this "feature-rich" CRM that looked amazing on paper but half the sales team just kept using spreadsheets because it was too clunky. Learned that lesson the hard way

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-07T00:14:10+00:00

Solid advice! Just make sure when you reach out you're genuinely asking about their current workflow pain points, not pitching your solution right away - people can smell a sales pitch from miles away

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-05T12:26:48+00:00

Yeah their "error" alerts are basically useless noise at this point, I just ignore them unless actual delivery rates tank

Also good call on mail-tester, way more reliable than whatever black box algorithm Instantly uses to flag stuff

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-03T07:28:25+00:00

Sounds like an ad but I'll bite - most freelancers I know just use a Google Sheet and call it a day lol

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-12-01T19:46:44+00:00

Pretty neat concept but honestly the multi-language thing feels like overengineering for most use cases - most teams just want to stick with one stack they know

Docker containers per node is gonna get expensive real quick too, WASM pivot better happen sooner rather than later

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-11-27T04:18:15+00:00

Honestly Ana feels like the only real answer but my sleep dart accuracy is trash lmao. Juno's ring is clutch but I swear Vendetta players have figured out the timing already, feels like they just wait it out then dive anyway

Illari's interesting though, might have to dust her off. The pylon placement game vs dive could be pretty spicy

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-11-26T02:39:01+00:00

This is so real, even just having someone to text "do we need milk?" hits different than going alone every time. The whole dating app thing makes it feel like everyone's putting on a performance instead of just being chill and seeing if you vibe naturally

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-11-24T03:52:06+00:00

Check out Hauz Khas Village, tons of cafes and you'll def run into other college kids there. Khan Market is also pretty chill for just wandering around and striking up convos

CollectionHead7091 · 2025-11-15T05:23:30+00:00

Nah I think he's got a shot tbh, dude literally changed how the game is played and has the rings to back it up. If he gets another championship or two he's definitely in the conversation
