mattvv | 1 month ago | on: A real-world benchmark for AI code review

Some feedback for the team, looked at pricing page and saw it more expensive ($30/dev/mo) and highly limiting (20prs per month per user). We have devs putting up that many prs in a single day. With this kind of plan pretty much no way we would even try this product

I had to take down my onhub this weekend, it was my primary router and my network kept dropping, it was part of a google wifi mesh and now one of the wifi points has taken over. Something feels like suspect. Was working fine for 2 years in this config

mattvv | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is your “sales stack”?

- Salesclover.com for BDRs/MRAs

- Linkedin Premium for Outreach

- Outreach.io for e-mail outreach

- Salesforce for Pipeline

- Gong for sales training on calls

- Founders for leads that have been through the funnel that we deem high value.

We saw a huge advantage as soon as we moved the bulk of the process to BDRs/MRAs and let our founders focus on the most impactful deals in the funnel.

mattvv | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Where would you incorporate in 2021?

For US Citizens, it's hard to argue against Puerto Rico. Great tax benefits for product companies and service companies. Catch is you have to move to PR, but it's a beautiful island so why not.

mattvv | 12 years ago | on: Introducing Amazon Fresh

I could stomach the $299 per year if the prices were cheap, however - cheapest avacado I could find was for $1.29 per avacado.... that's a lot more expensive then the 48c special at sprouts.... especially when you factor in the cost of membership.

mattvv | 12 years ago | on: Verizon network ALG blocks SIP

A lot of networks do this, it's not just Verizon. We've seen invites disappear at many different networks like hotels and different mifis. As well as registrations never go through on some.

That said, this and poor implementations of sipinspect on routers appear to be the Achilles heal of SIP.
