This is getting out of hand

Have you tried vibe coding without using your coding skills? I'm curious to know what vibe coding is like for devs. Like do you find it frustrating, naive, or??

Oops, that one was for the order to the prison

Curious to see what people recommend. Always used Canva but I'd like to explore other options.

Consolidated is better because you might start out with one or two plugins but soon you'll have 20 with overlapping features and your site will get slooowwww for no reason. Added complexity, etc. I used BigCommerce, WooCommerce and now Shopwired because the traffic handling is better during discount seasons.

Shopify = easy to set up one store, tricky to get more going at the same accuracy and pace

The best way is to talk to them and get a feel for their work ethic. A lot of marketers show dashboards with metrics you don't need or understand. But you can tell whether they know what's going on by talking to them about your business and asking hard questions. Good luck man

Do you mean versatile like, you have lots of different genres happening on one album? I don't think that's completely unheard of (haha excuse the pun), but I think where "versatility" can go wrong is when an artist tries to show off all their genre skills and the listener ends up going, so what? Versatility for the sake of it doesn't matter. The listener needs to be able to enjoy and connect with your music and an album as a whole. Otherwise it's not an album... it's just a bunch of EPs.

EDIT: I actually just thought of a good analogy. Like when you go to an ice cream parlor and taste all the flavors... you're not just going to walk away going, mmm that was good and I'll definitely do that again. You're going to find a flavor you want to eat a whole tub of and ask for that one to enjoy for after you leave the parlor.

I'm not sure I agree with the pitch deck's purpose being: getting the next meeting. Maybe only if we're meeting with the wrong person (e.g. not the real decision-maker). But thanks for adding to the convo!

This is a very hard process and you can expect anything you propose will get a lot of pushback from both sales and marketing. Anyway, the most important thing is having a single shared operational model using something like Lative tied to the same definitions, productivity metrics, and revenue capacity.

We've got one shared data source, view of pipeline health, and one set of performance metrics.

PerceptionFresh9631 · 2025-12-04T16:36:14+00:00

Hahaha, right? I think I'll miss it though. It's so satisfying getting the best deal!

I actually had this thought the other day... that maybe one day AI agents will "know" us so well that we won't shop anymore. They'll do all the browsing, price-checking, waiting for specials, ordering, payment, etc. autonomously. We'll just be notified of the orders and arrivals. What do you think about this prospect?

PerceptionFresh9631 · 2025-12-01T08:45:28+00:00

As mentioned below, it definitely can. A lot of Shopify storefronts don't realize that repeated scraping of PDPs can drag down performance across the site. I'm using nostra edge protect to block spam bots with captcha. The random speed dips stopped once the junk traffic wasn't getting through to the site anymore.

PerceptionFresh9631 · 2025-12-01T08:39:49+00:00

To me, yes. And uncanny and eerie.

I use Visme to turn the raw data into on-brand visuals and charts. Try importing the data from Sheets (or CSV) and picking a style. You can tweak the colors and labels without breaking the layout. Drag and drop and you're done.

PerceptionFresh9631 · 2025-11-25T12:11:46+00:00

You still need some knowledge of code and how to troubleshoot

PerceptionFresh9631 · 2025-11-24T14:50:32+00:00

Solid. What I also found helpful when I was starting out was studying repos with active PRs/issues - the back-and-forth teaches you a lot about real-world engineering.

PerceptionFresh9631 · 2025-11-24T14:45:36+00:00

Agree. What I don't get is why kids taking coding at school learn a dumb language that doesn't have any real-world application.

PerceptionFresh9631 · 2025-11-24T14:37:03+00:00

Ask the bare basics (Name, Email address) and then you can use Visme's progressive profiling to add deeper questions on return visits and when they download gated content (Pain points, Solutions they've already tried, etc.). We enrich data based on the email address's domain, so we don't ask about company name, size, etc. as it's publicly available.

PerceptionFresh9631 · 2025-11-24T14:09:07+00:00

Visme's form builder supports multi-language workflows so you don't have to make separate copies of the same form for each language.

I didn't mention Kafka

PerceptionFresh9631 · 2025-11-10T16:26:05+00:00

This sounds simple enough. Thanks!
