A startling 70% of software projects face delays. @usehaystack (YC W21) plugs directly into dev platforms to provide constant feedback on key metrics that show how a project is progressing, so teams can identify problems likely to cause a delay earlier. forbes.com/sites/davidpro…

When I post what I've made - interesting, or silly, I get "But why..?", "Why not just...", "Already exists" Not burning out is a competitive advantage. The daily grind of dev ain't easy and you should always be seeking out ways to combat burnout. usehaystack.io/blog/83-of-dev…

The best part of driving the Working Group? That I was not alone! I worked with @_RobDominguez and @danielchmbrs and I cannot be more grateful to them! Also, the quality of the results themselves is 10x times better thanks to their help!! Thank you, Rob, and thank you, Daniel 🤗

I love that @usehaystack is not afraid to express opinions in their product, by leaving features out that harm developer well-being 👏 For example, advocating against micromanagement by not allowing to group by individuals. usehaystack.io/blog/introduci… Also, nice use of @thecubejs
