@JsonBoa well, usually it's the same old shit about startups, right? 🥲
though, recently started a side business with some friends, and we're trying to build our kind of startup
tbh, kinda hard not being a group of rich kids, relying on your experience for the do's and don'ts, but we had a really nice year in earnings for a side job 🥹 no people harmed, no mental stability broken -
@yxjs as long as you guys don't fall prey to the bullshit cycle of "growth hacking" for "exponential scaling" and "customer centric" and all the other buzzwords...
If you lads don't plan of scamming anyone with a "unique opportunity of seed capital" or some other shenanigans, they why call your shop a "startup" and not simply a "small company"? -
@JsonBoa that's why we're thinking about our goals and strategies as a company
we don't like the idea of having seed money for all the reasons we've accumulated as of now, so we're pretty heavy on dropping the "startup" thing
also, we're pretty much tired of all "growth hacking", "exponential scaling" and mainly "customer-centric" stuff, we've worked on some big companies down here and harshly discovered it's pretty much bullshit -
@sidtheitguy fya, on the topic of the dR's purpose

Were you always @yxjs?

@Cyanide nope, used my middlename before 😬 but kinda dangerous when it's also your domain name 🥲
back to devrant, yay!
closed my account when i entered a really nice company, but after a year it was taken over by another one that was not-so-good at all, started working for another startup and, BOY, i really didn't miss ranting about work, but now i NEED a place to let this all up, little by little, somewhere, before my brain melts
current startup is one of those founded by rich dudes who had an "amazing" idea that, as time passed, turned into a monster that not only eroded the team from inside, but also made us see how spoiled the bosses are
