Transcript context

…I love that there's benefits to the hackathon route which other vibe coding tools are taking, not just growth but also just good feelings and just building community and seeing what people are doing, like meeting people excited about what you're building. So many side benefits. Okay, before we move on from growth, is there anything else that's worth mentioning that worked really well or just that people think will work and just didn't work for you that you didn't already mention? The last piece, but people talk about that a lot, is that velocity eventually is a growth engine. Part of building in public is you want to put content out there that people really like to see. So we joked about it, but it's really true. People like to see charts and they like to see numbers. It gets them attached to this project if they are saying, "Oh, I wonder what's going to be profit next week," or "I wonder how much money is it losing and how can you optimize," and like they get attached to that. I think, also, velocity is to some degree the same thing, because if your product evolves really fast and you're putting features out there every other day, people get attached to that . I remember people commenting on my posts saying, "You know what? It's moving so fast, I have to try it now." So this is part of this velocity solves for so many things. Most of my thoughts, and still are, when running Base44 is how do we increase velocity? How do we increase velocity? It's going to solve every product problem we have or most of them. It's going to solve some of your marketing challenges if you're smart about it and you're putting the content out there and you're making everything like a mini launch. So I feel like that was also a great growth tool. That is a really good point. Clearly everyone in the space understands this as well. I want to talk about the acquisition piece, but a couple of quick questions that have been on my mind. One is just what is the tech stack that you built on? Because I think a lot of founders are like, What the hell do I build on? What will help me move fast?" So get as geeky as you want. Just what are the tools and infrastructure used to build Base44?…
