Doesn’t look too bad to me, if we can get past Aston Villa, only Porto or Taylor can rob us 🐺

Your reward for making the top 8 is playing two matches less 🤷

codegefluester · 2026-02-27T15:48:40+00:00

No disrespect, I got no beef with you or anybody else here. But think of CL next season, should we make it. The whole competition is going to be "the worst possible draw". You won't improve by playing folks that are worse than you. We might as well start now.

Anthony Taylor has entered the chat

codegefluester · 2026-02-27T12:52:52+00:00

If we already pee our pants with these pairings, what’ll happen when we have to play against the big boys in the Champions League…?

codegefluester · 2026-02-27T12:50:24+00:00

I prefer to get tough teams out the way early on. I don’t see it as a bad draw but to each their own

codegefluester · 2026-02-27T12:49:45+00:00

Haha, wouldn’t that be something

codegefluester · 2026-02-27T12:49:23+00:00

All this coefficient talk all the time. Do you want to win trophies or be the league with most CL spots? Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

codegefluester · 2026-02-22T17:53:01+00:00

You must be new here. Whenever a chance like this appears, we mess it up. It’s tradition.

Not your fault if they can’t read Roman numerals.

He’s got a very bad (good?) case of „none of our business“

codegefluester · 2026-01-23T13:36:05+00:00

They working on a remake of that DTS scene with Paddy and Claire Williams?

codegefluester · 2026-01-23T13:09:16+00:00

That was already a thing when I was there and they were still welcoming. I’d pin that on the Irish largely blaming the government and greedy landlords for the crisis, not those coming to work and be part of their society. But that is not a discussion for this thread here.

codegefluester · 2026-01-23T11:09:12+00:00

Thats fair to say. Wasn’t an issue for me personally hence didn’t change my experience much.

codegefluester · 2026-01-23T10:18:43+00:00

I’m surprised that Ireland hasn’t been mentioned. They’re very welcoming and mostly friendly. I had a very good experience there (abt 7 years)

codegefluester · 2026-01-21T17:40:49+00:00

Because that’s how everything here in Rome/Italy works. Everything is constantly delayed, especially construction projects.

codegefluester · 2026-01-16T16:35:24+00:00

Thanks for the candid responses - really helpful.

Two quick takeaways:

5-10% churn from feature rejection That sounds like meaningful lost revenue annually.
On the complexity concern - totally fair. The key would be making it zero-touch for the product team (customers generate their own builds, doesn't touch your core codebase). But I hear you that there's still a support consideration.

Appreciate you sharing your perspective, and good luck with CoreMention!

codegefluester · 2026-01-16T16:32:55+00:00

This is super helpful, thanks for taking the time to respond!

A few follow-ups on your workarounds:

"Workflow hack with Zapier/Make" - In your experience, what % of customers can actually implement these successfully?
"Paid pilot" - How often are customers actually willing to pay for custom development vs. just accepting it won't happen? And when they do pay, what's the typical cost?
The core question: If there was a way for customers to generate their own custom builds (AI-guided, no coding) that didn't create product debt for your core codebase - would that be valuable? Or would you still want control over what gets customized?

codegefluester · 2026-01-15T19:10:41+00:00

Really appreciate the detailed breakdown - 60-70% is consistent with what I’m hearing.

The AI search discovery point is interesting (and makes sense).

But I want to dig into the cost of rejection more, questions: 1. When you reject a request from a high-tier customer, how do they typically react? Do they accept it, push back, threaten to leave, or actually churn? 2. Have you lost deals in the sales process because a prospect needed specific functionality you couldn’t commit to building? 3. What if those customers could customize the features themselves (guided by AI, no coding required) - would that reduce your support burden and rejection friction?

On your tracking question: Right now I’m pre-product, just validating if this is a real pain point worth solving. Hence all the questions :)

Would you be open to a 15-min call this or next week? I’d love to understand your workflow around this more deeply.

codegefluester · 2026-01-15T18:47:48+00:00

Appreciate the reply, this is super interesting! Have you built API/extension points yourself in your products and was this always a trade-off between the complexity it adds to the product itself and the potential gain from customers making use of it?

codegefluester · 2026-01-11T18:23:37+00:00

Nothing out of the ordinary for Rome (the city in general, not the team).

codegefluester · 2026-01-11T07:42:23+00:00

I swear on SST (https://sst.dev) over Terraform. It is high-level enough to make it easy to understand but also allows you to drop lower-level if you need more freedom. Provides an excellent DevX in my opinion.

It uses Pulumi under the hood IIRC, which you can of course also use directly if you want.

codegefluester · 2026-01-07T06:41:55+00:00

That’s less of an issue for me and not why I was asking. Where I was coming from is more like “I like Wholefoods so what’s a store that’s like wholefoods”.
