You'll never feel ready but you will always be ready. One of my biggest regrets is not having kids sooner

Google, TTD, Applovin, Magnite, Roku, Freewheel, + 100 more adtech and martech companies.

Lets add Facebook, twitter, openai, claude + all the others.

then lets add Flock, Palantir.

Do you honestly think the lobbying from them would be more or less if this bill gained any traction?

Bold idea but too much money on the other side to let this gain traction

Downvote all you want but adtechs like magnite, ttd, and applovin Have way more personal data on you and use it to influence. I'll take safety over ads any day of the week.

Coming from the Sales world sometimes I don't want to be taught to fish.

I'm coming to my VP for help because I already tried diff baits, went to diff ponds, and tried diff reels. I'm coming for a fish finder not a lecture on maybe my casting was off

You do know that lots of software is just meshing a few things together and selling that as a service right?

Whos to say that they are making it so those 3 vendors work better together?

edit - Also I just know this is a EU dev who thinks if I build a really good product people will just buy.
