They'll learn soon enough that selling to developers necessitates speaking clearly.
replyDohmke never spoke clearly to developers when he was GitHub's CEO.
replyA CEO is never speaking to developers, he's speaking to other CEOs.
replyCEOs have many audiences; great CEOs communicate capably with each.
replyFWIW it's not entirely clear to me who Entire's long-term customer is, but the (interesting!) CLI that shipped today is very much for developers who are busy building with agents.
They will sell to their managers
replyNo. With this kind of bullshit they plan to try to sell to C-levels and board members.
replyEdit: Actually it may just be aimed at investors. Who cares about having a product?
> Actually it may just be aimed at investors
replyThe fact that the first image you see has "$60M seed" in big text, I have to agree, this does not feel aimed at devs.
The problem is that when it comes to (commercial) developer tools and services, everyone can/wants to be everything, so why let a simple statement or a showcase limit you? "Hey, we are a container scanning service... But we can also be a container registry too, a CI, a KeyValue store, an agent sandbox provider, git hosting? We can do quick dev deployments/preview too. Want a private npm registry? Automated pull request reviews? Code Signing service? We are working on a new text editor btw"
replyBut what if my product is just an attempt to make a cushy exit during the AI bubble?
replyI feel like these types of pages are less geared towards actual users of the product and more towards the investors who love the vague and flowery language. We're no longer in a world where the path to profitability was the objective goal anyway, it makes sense to me that the marketing of software is becoming decreasingly detached from reality..
replyIt's almost like an extension of the "if you're not paying for the product, you are the product" idea. If you're assessing a tool like this and the marketing isn't even trying to communicate to you, the user, what the product does, aren't you also kind of "the product" in this case too?
