claude can put together pretty convincing agent platforms and cloud infrastructure but anyone who’s an expert in anything knows that models make 1000s of bad assumptions that need steering find the right partners who’ve already metabolized the pain into product https://t.co/Mu28GkhLS2

you can cut your competition from 20 to 2 if you do BYOC enterprises that want on-prem have almost no vendors to choose from most saas can't deploy to a customer's cloud every week, our customers close 6-figure+ deals because prospects say "nobody else can deploy here"

if you sell to enterprises and can't deploy on kubernetes you're ngmi eventually they'll say "deploy in our vpc" and kube is standard but don't waste time learning kube use @ryvnai like vercel/render, but built on kube and runs in your vpc or your customer's vpc
