I did, and understand your frustration with my comment (I've been in a similar startup before and I empathize with the denial). Here are a few pointers to help as a litmus test, that I wish I had back then:

- How many self serve customers have built a business on top of your platform? (this is where good documentation helps)

- Is your leadership excessively concerned about the branding and how the company comes across, or do they actually talk to customers and developers?

- Have the founders raised excessive capital relative to business maturity?

- Is there cultish behaviour, where bad decisions are not questioned? how vulnerable is the broader leadership?

- Where do engineers spend their time? Making cool stuff or building towards clear customer outcomes?

As I said, genuinely friendly comment. I really hope I am wrong, but sharing as someone who has gone through something similar who was triggered after I saw this.

All the best, hope this takes off!
