- Why dropping the free tier was one of PlanetScale's best decisions. But is not for every startup.
- People solving serious problems appreciate serious content and if you can create meaningful content, that's a big advantage.
- CEOs should be transparent and collaborative but assertive. Don't let your company die while enacting someone else's decision
- Express hard-to-convey-benefits via your customers’ experiences
