What's up friends! I am a Senior Salesforce Developer and Architect that has worked in high tech software companies for the last 10 years. I recently tried my hand at entrepreneurship that unfortunately did not workout, so I am back on the job hunt! I am really open to anything. I have worked with internal RevOps teams with Sales, Finance, Customer Support, and much more. I have spent time in consulting as well, and have no problem working directly with clients as a Customer Success Manger or Sales Engineer etc. If anyone has anything interesting feel free to ping me for sure! I also have a lot of other software engineering skills (Ruby on Rails, VueJS, Nuxt, TailwindCSS).

This is actually super interesting use case for AI.
It’s no secret that corporate litigation take a significant amount of time and money in lawyers fees (corporate attorneys are expensive obviously). But if you can navigate a case Pro Se via a AI does the cost burden on the corporation effectively turn the tables on the ROI calculation.
Same thought I had. Almost everything piece of technology that I use is broken in some way. UI bugs, connection issues, missing obvious features, missing non obvious features that might be specific to me, terrible UI, etc etc.
If AI is so useful that it can fully replace engineers or other humans, why aren’t products next level amazing?
If the barrier to entry for these high margin tech companies becomes so low that they no longer even need employees, isn’t the next step to compete on quality?
Because products never become next level amazing. Hardware got so fast and yet most software keeps getting bloated. Given a choice between writing near perfect software and cramming more features, almost all companies cater to more features (except in some rare domains or cases). Both because the latter is easier and because that's what people demand (not by their words but by their expressed preferences).
The market has reached an equilibrium of the minimum quality a business can get away with before customers switch away. Customers usually prioritize time to market or price before quality. There’s still a niche for excellent quality tech but you will pay much more for it.
1. Software issues are not merely technical, they’re human. Someone has to care about the issue and prioritize it and get it fixed.
2. Many products don’t compete on software because there are more substantive market forces at play.
AI won’t fundamentally alter either of these facts.
Character.ai reached out to me for an opportunity, but they've already been carved up.
I think it's great that the rank and file got some of their equity cash-out (based on the other comment), but I imagine it isn't an attractive prospect as a start-up to join at this point.
I just ignored the recruiter. I can't imagine their would be a second liquidity event.
This is a joke right? Seed investors will get 10-30% of a company for under a million dollars which will be blown through in less than a year. That’s means they’re a drag on the cap table right?
The juice has to be worth the squeeze. No sense in fighting against fiduciary duty, minority shareholder oppression, etc., etc. unless there is some sort of value there. This usually means a successful exit before taking action.
I think we're saying the same thing --- that none of this matters, just walk away with the vested shares and be a friend to the company. Diluting his founder shares in subsequent rounds is going to be a nonevent, and diluting him to zero in an acquisition --- unless it's a seller's market or a bidding war --- may be as well. It's just not worth worrying about; I think the only real question here might be "do I take a buyout if offered", and this person is nowhere near that yet.
