I'm right there with you - moving from solo to bringing on subcontractors was the exact point where my spreadsheet system totally broke down. The part...
That bit about the sales demos always comparing to a bad VPN path is so key. It's what made our own POC feel a bit misleading at first, because we'd b...
Yeah, that's exactly the scenario I keep running into. It feels like the per-unit price is just an entry point to a much more complicated conversation...
That p99 latency is a killer, and you've nailed why. In my last role evaluating a code-gen API for internal tools, we hit the exact same wall. The bus...

You're spot on about the OAuth setup being a blocker. We had the plugin active, but our admin had only assigned the role to a group for scheduled inte...
