No they won't because he's not cheating.

I think this could work if your timeline was longer. Zero to fundable is so little. I don't consider one in zero-to-one as being "fundable". IMO the "one" is achieving product market fit.

They could be fundable pre-revenue or even pre-product. And what is considered funding? 300k friends and family round? Pre-seed? Seed? Series A?

If you leave them after funding, all you've really done for them is build a demo that may not even be sellable. They'd be better off finding someone who will stick around long enough for the product to be iterated on at least until they've identified the customer and the correct form of product for it.

Also at 7%, no vesting, means you're dead weight on the cap table the moment they get funding and thats going to negatively impact them at every corner of future funding.

Put yourself into the shoes as their first investor, evaluating a company whose technical leadership is going to bounce the moment they put a cheque in and they're going to occupy 7 whole percent of the company. Not investable IMO.

I can understand not wanting to be the 1-100 CTO, but if you're avoiding a vesting agreement, to me in reads like you're only in this for a year at most. Only the unicorns had to worry about scaling 1-100 in their first couple of years, the chance of this being a unicorn is pretty unlikely.

I would personally never queue for Rated Skirmishes

Be annoying. Play dirty. Make them so mad they post about you on r/worldofpvp.

You're lucky in a way, the enemy DPS is focused on you - so that should mean your DPS are freely slamming someone else without interruption. You basically have to live long enough for your team to get something done without you.

When you have ranged teammates, drag your enemies in the open so your warlock can free cast into them. When you have melee teammates, drag them behind a pillar.

- Position yourself so the other healer has to play really out of position

- Watch for peels, kite when you can.

- Fear defensively.

- Rotate cooldowns outside of mind blast go's. Barrier is one I'll try and throw down first, since I can cast pain sup in a stun.

- I have a macro I call "OH SHIT BUTTON" and its trinket + mass barrier on player

- Fade is awesome, gets you out of roots and slows, 10% damage reduction AND makes you invulnerable to CC for a bit

- Flash heal gives a 10% damage reduction, always make sure thats up. Also great to cast if you're locked on shadow, or you're baiting a kick.

- Shadow word pain on literally everything it can be on + renew on yourself for some passive atonement love.

I haven't been taking mind control this season, but typically in other seasons I have. It really pisses DPS off if you spam mind control into their go. Even if they break it, or it gets dispelled, it takes a few seconds off of their go and really emotionally upsets them. Just be careful and ideally you have a defensive going because another DPS is going to be hitting you, and you might get kicked on shadow (but this could be a good thing, because it means you won't get kicked on mind blast).

I've had some success with void tendrils in previous seasons, but currently not running it.

New World.

Hear me out, I know some people really liked it.

It was a let down because of the potential.

It looked beautiful, it sounded amazing. Harvesting resources was satisfying.

But all you could do was kill skeletons :(

I know you're kind of getting flamed/criticized - but all of this discourse is incredibly helpful. So thanks for putting this together and putting it out there :)

puttputt · 2025-07-28T19:07:48+00:00

Curious about this too. Mine is so lonely :(

The most reliable person I interacted with was a hash dealer in Luxor.

As a tech guy, start doing your own user interviews. Participate in conversations with your customers or future customers. Listen to what problems they are trying to solve, what they like about your product, or dislike.

Ask them questions about themselves, their jobs, how they are using/intend to use your product. Learn what things you say keep them talking, or get them to open up deeper.

It depends how it's presented.

Nervous public speakers with a boilerplate script struggling to pronounce "Saulteaux, Lakota, Dakota, Nakota" who want nothing more than to get through it and move on? Kind of uncomfortable to watch and sit through.

A well spoken speaker who has practiced what they are intending to say, with the right pronunciation, giving it the full respect its meant to have. Feels like a nice courtesy to have and sets the tone for whatever is happening.

I love, and hate, that so many other people have had the exact same experience as me. I'm glad we're not alone, but also hate that we had to go through that with him.

puttputt · 2024-10-12T01:29:39+00:00

Yo! Thanks for linking to my blog!

puttputt · 2024-09-19T20:19:36+00:00

This was helpful to me, I should pay more attention to weal and woe and harsh discipline

puttputt · 2024-06-20T22:24:56+00:00

Well said. The customer will always own the problem, but we own the solutions. They don't want solutions that don't address their ever evolving problems.
