@jrichlive New markets and transformative tech always leads to new jobs 🙌🏼

Wow @UConnHuskies

idea guys after their first hour on Claude

BREAKING: Thoma Bravo just released their LP meeting slides. The world's largest software PE firm thinks the market has it completely wrong on software right now. Public markets are panic-selling software based on AI fear. Here's what they're seeing:

Spoke to a CEO of a $140M ARR SaaS co yesterday. Profitable. Growing modestly. But churn is a big issue. The old playbook used to be to retain customers by: * Building a great product * Managing quality and uptime * Delivering rapid time to value * Ensuring strong adoption * Verify value and outcomes with your key stakeholders What's concerning now is many SaaS cos of all sizes (from AI native to mature) are experiencing churn even for customers that check all of those boxes. The work right now is to rethink your value proposition and reason for existence - not just shuffle deck chairs on the Titanic. This is not a Customer Success or CRO problem - it's a founder/CEO challenge. The captain needs to lead. Companies like Intercom show it's possible to not only avoid the glacier, but glide into open seas. But keep "sailing faster" at your own peril.

STATE OF THE PRODUCT JOB MARKET IN EARLY 2026 In spite of the headlines about layoffs and AI taking jobs, we’re actually seeing a lot of promising signs in tech hiring, and some interesting new trends: 1. PM openings are at the highest levels we’ve seen in over three years 2. AI hasn’t slowed the demand for software engineers (at least not yet) 3. AI roles in general are absolutely exploding 4. Design roles have plateaued 5. The Bay Area is increasing in importance 6. Remote work opportunities continue to decline 7. Despite ongoing layoffs, the overall number of tech jobs continues to grow More in 🧵

Some news 👀 Today we launched Yotpo Discover. It’s the first real discoverability + actionability platform for LLM-driven commerce. It’s the best product Yotpo has ever built, with the leanest team. We’ve been building this with some of the best brands in the world. Our content agent, activation agent, and onsite agent are already driving real traffic and impact. What makes this launch hit differently: - 3 of our engineers shipped this from active reserve duty. - Others coded through ballistic missile alarms. - Some had their kids next to them in bomb shelters. And they still delivered. Some of our team flew to Vegas on a 48-hour rerouted flight navigating missile threats just to be there. If you’re a brand trying to win in a world where AI is becoming the new storefront, check it out. yotpo.com/discover

@jrichlive Great trading opportunity!

CRWD +22% bump from Feb low. Sanity making a comeback…

We're hiring builders at @GustoHQ. If you're: - AI-pilled full stack builder - Obsessed with the finest details of user experience - Want to make the world better for small businesses please DM. I'd love to talk

Everyone is talking about the Square layoffs but just a reminder... - Robinhood has 2500 employees (market cap of $70b) - Coinbase has 4500 employees (market cap $50b) Square (market cap $30b) just cut to 6000 employees. I wouldnt say this is all the sudden a symbol of AI transformation and leanness.

@DBerthiaumeCSA Wait till their execs see the Dorsey and Block news

eBay will eliminate about 6% of its workforce: chainstoreage.com/news-briefs/20…

@mkobach It’s a slippery slope after gambling

A strip club + NBA team collab? That’s a first.

Block says it is laying off more than 4,000 of its 10,000+ employees; XYZ jumps 19%+ in extended trading (@annierpalmer / CNBC) cnbc.com/2026/02/26/blo… #a260226p49" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">techmeme.com/260226/p49#a26… 📥 Send tips! techmeme.com/contact

@tomerlondon Deploy, we all need more moments of joy!

Weekend vibe coding a fun new "payroll is done" animation for Gusto. Wdyt? Ship or kill?

@justinskycak True. If you're part of the unstable to stable transition of a company, you basically become nearly unfireable. Early employees of startups that "made it" can often coast for decades

AI slop masked as influence

@ryanmcraver Especially after @Adobe bought @semrush for almost $2b! Think @Similarweb can be acquired cheap.

Similarweb: A company with a treasure trove of data and the leading voice for generative AI engines is now sub $250MM market cap. How can they not be an acquisition target? $SMWB
