Moments from other conversations on the network where Stripe comes up.
“Some of the engineers heard that rumor and apparently they came into his office and were like, "We will literally all quit en masse tomorrow if you take Stripe away." Call that Stripe had a ton of, you know, developer love.”
“And then also you built the apps and experience platform at Stripe. And in those two cases, those are two— Yeah. Companies renowned for having, you know, high talent density, being quite effective while at scale.”
