@thorstenball.bsky.social@thorstenball.bsky.social → @thorstenball.comHey @thorstenball.com saw your episode on DavidOndrej's pod. Really resonate with a lot of things you've said. Especially the way to "rethink SWE". I really love being able to focus on the UX of the tools I build nowadays. I also really agree, forms need to die.
Show PostGREAT quote from a 2020 Hacker News thread: "Sales is a lot like golf. You can make it so complicated as to be impossible, or you can simply walk up and hit the ball. I've been leading and building sales orgs for almost 20 years, and my advice is to walk up and hit the ball." h/t @thorstenball.com
