🎏 Saying Bye to Glitch /// Pketh

I do believe that Glitch could have benefited from VC funding after we found that balance — but taking that much money before even having paid customers still feels like a mistake.

I wrote on Mastodon last week how we’ve essentially legalized predatory pricing to allow VCs to take advantage of us in the future, which echoes a similar sentiment here. I also love this line from Pirijan:

I value clear and unambiguous communication above flowery narratives that change on a whim.

The flowery narratives, over strategizing, and talking about the work, rather than doing it seem to be so prevalent in tech these days.
