So many great talks lined up for @syncconf.bsky.social! Unfortunately I’ll miss it. I’d be fascinated to hear the Dialog DB talk. Some serious business coming together there! 🤯

“For developers and founders, the lesson is straightforward. […] Build at the platform layer or build internal leverage. If you want to sell SaaS, make sure it is vertical, deeply integrated, and ROI-proven. Everything else will get commoditized.”
