I want to say as an engineer that cold calls aren't effective but I feel like it's just due to the numbers of how many calls you can make per hour.

If you can increase the number of dials like in this post it really makes more sense from a time perspective. We also know that regulations on phone calls are going nowhere anytime soon lol.

This is why I stopped working at companies that build dev tools. Building sales/marketing tools because they love having anything built for them lol

The previous limit on this endpoint was 500 associations per request and now it's 100. Essentially reducing throughput by 5x and they call it a "bug fix"

Honestly as bad as SFDC can be at least they don't continue to hurt developer experience and call it a bug fix

What do you mean tell HN? I don't use this site that much, like do I just tag the submission with it?

The biggest thing is I no longer have access to the email address where I wrote the review and I wonder if they recognized that and went and edited it since I wouldn't be checking?

I don't use twitter :(

Drones have changed warfare at a local tactical level. But your drones and smaller autonomous systems aren't helping if you have overwhelming firepower superiority, ie in Gaza drones haven't inflicted too much damage if you can just drop a couple thousand JDAMS and level out a territory.

Man you’d fit right in at hubspot. Starts talking gibberish when a customer points out flaws.

Not sure how me pointing out none of their docs mention state transfer anywhere invalidates my issues with their API.

L take buddy

We tried a mix of caching as well as hubspot webhooks, but we were still having issues with data not updating fast enough and most of the data we load has to be somewhat on demand regarding tasks/sequences and outbounding features. ie you call or email someone, a task gets moved to the next task and the user wants to see that change somewhat quickly.

I disagree with this especially when they launched their "new" platform in 2020: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/overview

> HubSpot’s developer platform is a core part of our mission to empower organizations to grow better. Our APIs are designed to enable teams of any shape or size to build robust integrations that help them customize and get the most value out of HubSpot. All HubSpot APIs are built using REST conventions and designed to have a predictable URL structure. They use many standard HTTP features, including methods (POST, GET, PUT, DELETE) and error response codes. All HubSpot API calls are made under https://api.hubapi.com and all responses return standard JSON.

I'm getting a bit more estate transfer implications in their old docs but barely

> The API is built to allow you to create a functional application or integration quickly and easily. We know from experience - these are the APIs that power the HubSpot application. The ecosystem of developers creating integrations on top of the APIs is strong and diverse, ranging from webinar providers to CRMs to social media.

Not really sure where they mention it as a state transfer service. Not to mention even if it was, their lack of support for over 50% of their workflow/sequence/queue automations products make state transfer impossible anyways even for internal teams.

definitely. There's still just such a huge bottleneck when we have 20+ users having to queue up, and they end up complaining that they don't want to wait so long for data to come back from hubspot

Fair enough and I get it, I've been there. But for a 17 year old company worth ~30 billion to have this many issues compared to both newer startups(Salesloft/Outreach) and large incumbents(Salesforce) is just unacceptable.

I'm not here saying every company is perfect, I have quite a few gripes with other services but they either:

A. Actually respond to issues and work with developers and actively help maintain their app integrations despite significantly smaller support teams(I've worked with at most 1-2 csms and an engineer or pm with most integrations but with hubspot I get routed from our app manager, to a csm to an entire engineering team and even the head of support all to just get an email that their oauth issues won't be fixed until q3 202x since developer experience isn't a priority)

or

B. Blatantly don't care but don't sell themselves to sales team that they have a great integration and great support for people building integrations. I'm at a point where I'm trying to actively push our mutual customers to anything but hubspot

It's not just their API that sucks, even simple stuff like their marketplace is horribly managed.

For shits and giggles I created an app for the marketplace and copied similar screenshots to what a competitor offered but then my application was rejected for not having proper screenshots. The app manager just responded that they had special privilege to not abide by any of the marketplace rules. Turns out they signed a pretty large deal with the competitor...

You mean Texas lol. 30 years in SF and there’s been a couple blackouts during the summer for a n hour or 2.

You're not even 1%, maybe .000001%

Let’s be real the majority of these people getting laid off aren’t gonna grind for 2-3 years with low odds of succeeding. Same thing that happened with Twitter layoffs and any covid layoffs.

People wanting to build stuff to their hearts desire long left or didn’t start at google in the first place

I want more details. Say they predicted X spot would have more crime and so the PD sent more patrols there. Wouldn’t that affect the amount of crime?

Here’s my thing. It’s kind of like calculators and computers. It’s fine to use calculators later on because once you’ve mastered basic division you don’t need to do it 40 million more times. But if you gave calculators to first graders I struggle to believe they’re gonna be learning shit lol

Good get rid of Affirmative Action, get rid of Legacy status.

Athlete's are fine. Having to go to a college with a bad football team always sucked personally so let's keep that pipeline up.

Yep it used to be you could view individual tweets but nothing else. Elon came in removed it and made everything free to view. A couple months ago I noticed they went back to the old system. And now you can't even view individual tweets. Embedded tweets still work I guess

Didn't George Hotz do an "internship" at twitter to remove the login wall? Rip twitter even more.

wealthfront has 4.3% and 3 mil fdic, way better options available.

no more duckduckgo for me. Their non stop youtube advertising has annoyed me to hell

lol I'm officially moving off of samsung if this happens. No way in hell I'm using a shitty bing browser

Except there needs to be natural demand and short enough supply. You’re viewing them like its early 2020 where people were buying up cars and selling them used at a marked up price somehow. People really be trying to treat everything as a profit nowadays

The rav4 prime has 40 miles on its battery so I wouldn't be too surprised they get the prime out with 40 miles soon.

I actually really wish Toyota kept pushing their plug in hybrids. The Rav4 Prime get 40 miles on its battery and 40 mpg as a small suv is impressive plus 600 miles worth of gas in it. My neighbor pretty much uses most of the battery during his commute, charges it and uses the battery coming back. He can take it on long road trips without any stops too.

Look google aint the best but I tried bing for a day and still hated it and an AI chatbot that spews out incorrect info atm isn't gonna change my behavior lol

Coming from a saas API startup using REST for everything to a more internal product facing company using Apollo graphql for its core services is weird. On one hand it’s a lot more flexible to return whatever you need on the frontend but on the other hand you get some really heated queries and if you don’t map out your objects correctly you get lots of queries that don’t objectively make sense in what the return. You also just get devs adding new queries for stuff that probably shouldn’t be for the resource they used
