My Business Is Dying

There is something I'd call Subscription Fatigue. People and businesses are asked to pay subscription fees left and right. If I convert my bank statements only each quarter in a spike or once or twice a year, why should I pay for each month or the entire year? Of course I don't know the real usage patterns of this application, but that's one scenario I'd think of.

> My friends tell me the job is basically managing AI agents and reading Pull Requests. That sounds like hell, and I’ll try to avoid it for as long as possible. It really is not that bad when you are in a company with a good culture. Leadership is gonna be AI piled everywhere, but imho that's how you learn where to use (and not to use) the technology.

> When a user cancels a subscription Stripe asks them for a reason. At the moment I don’t really do anything with the cancellation reason, actually this is the first time I’ve ever looked at the data. This comes across as very unserious. If you’re truly trying to build a business then this seems like one of the best signals/datapoints you can get…

I liked the article, although I have no idea what it even means to convert your bank statements. Is this a Chinese thing?

Ironically, doesn't the "Get a job" paragraph have the solution? If you believe that is what the future of jobs at a company looks like, perhaps try to market your tool to agents? You could add an API which is perfect for agents to use. Something that survives the pull request review process.
