Description
Recently, Ben felt gloriously empty and described how nice it was to have nothing going on. In his stomach, that is. He successfully finished a 48-hour fast. It was difficult, but pleasurable. Now, he’s back to craving calories, eating, and work!
Derrick had a challenging week with feelings of uncertainty. He invited more people to try Level, but got similar results. He fears that people may not progress with the product. Will people actually make the jump to Level?
Today’s Topics Include:
April showered Ben with 66 sign ups of paid trials for Tuple
Magic Number is 3: Multiple developers mean Tuple will soon ship multiway calls feature
Derrick’s going back to customer development roots to proactively learn and listen
Tactical errors with validation to confirm assumptions about how to solve Slack problem
Derrick’s envyable or dire position? Worst-case scenario and what’s next
Startups fail, the struggle is real, and the pivot is time honored for a reason

6: Refactoring Rails and Shareable Workflows: On today’s episode we discuss Ben’s release of the first video in his Refactoring Rails course, on the benefits of following Rest in Rails applications. He goes over how he produced the video, sent it out and the feedback he got on his initial release. Derrick has been shipping even more this week, and has seen a huge improvement in his workflow by reducing the notifications on GitHub. His team is adjusting to a more efficient way of working instead of push notifications. by The Art of Product
