... Until this release there were two doors: Homebrew , or go install. Both fine, both assuming you wanted a binary on your machine which is not what you want when you're inside gh already, or writing a CI step, or on a box you'll throw away in ten minutes. Four doors

... third tool, then rent collection and a portal the tenant will hate. Enterprise suites price like you re a 2,000-unit shop. Point tools are cheap until you spend Sunday reconciling them. We wanted one system a 40-door operator could actually finish: vacant unit first rent payment, without an implementation project. Why both sides, not a prettier manager app Most PM software is a dashboard with a bolted-on tenant login. That s why renters collect five passwords ... ... system you just paid for. The tradeoff: we are not a drop-in for a large AppFolio/Buildium shop that needs every accounting edge case on day one. We optimized for independents and small shops (tens to a few hundred doors

... contextual and rename the events so they aggregate. Preserves the copy, fixes the measurement. Cost: I'd be measuring the total and still learning nothing about which word did the work. Cut two of the three entry points. Fewer doors, cleaner story. Cost: the two I'd cut sit on the pages a stranger is most likely to land on first. I went with the second, mostly because it's reversible and the other two aren't cheap to undo ...

... Everything you allow, nothing more Letting an AI agent into your workspace is in the same league as handing someone your house keys. So no fine print here just the rules, stated plainly.

... tried using standard AI to validate our ideas, but it just mirrored our optimism. It told us what we wanted to hear. It felt good, but it was incredibly dangerous. We realized our biggest enemy wasn't our competitors; it was our own "Founder's Ego." We desperately needed something to tell us we were wrong. We needed a reality check based on cold math, not polite chat. That intense fear of wasting our lives on a hallucinated market ... ... only reason Bunzee exists. We built it as a private validation engine using 200,000+ data points to mathematically stress-test our ideas behind closed doors

... structurally separate felt like the right call from day one. Comment from Mickael Chiron(@hivin): Good point, personal brand helps early traction, but it can also bias feedback and hide product flaws. Maybe the real question is less brand vs product and more how to get honest users early without distortion. Have you seen cases where strong founder visibility actually blocked real feedback?

... Doorman Fallacy' and AI: Sutherland warns that AI is currently being sold primarily as a cost-cutting tool to reduce headcount, rather than a value-creation tool (0:48).
