WTF 🙈 Now relying on a foreign provider can be a huge problem

Team is growing 🖤

We just shipped a small life improvement at @polar_s Merchants can now request payouts even if their organisation is under review. Payments will be held until the review is complete and will also increase the organisation review priority. Envoy 🖤🐻‍❄️

I discovered something truly fascinating in my life. It’s a collection of letterbooks spanning from 1890 to 1900. These letterbooks were used to keep a copy of everything sent by the owner, preserving written correspondence. I trained a small language model to read the letters so I could interpret them from a set of photographs. While I manually read some of them, it’s a laborious and tedious process. Next, I used @ChatGPTapp to gather additional information from sources like Wikipedia, newsletters and others, providing a broader understanding of the context. For instance, I discovered that filoxera had arrived in Catalonia around that years. The writer maintained sent daily letters, offering a glimpse into life almost 150 years ago. The book contains letters detailing marriage arrangements, strikes, filoxera and personal correspondence 🤯 I LOVE THAT

The most difficult thing for me is starting a task or project. when the tasks is small and not engaging it’s way worse. But sometimes I get that feeling of doing everything, put things back again in order. that feeling is SOO GOOD

Support is a known achilles heel for Merchant of Records. We've always been praised for ours (mostly – nobody is perfect), but in February, we started seeing it get away from us – reaching ~600 tickets/day in the backlog. Excited to have aggressively turned the trend around despite 10x in growth. → Hired a Director of Merchant Operations to help scale our support, risk and success team. → We shipped our own AI support chat. → We shipped our own continuous account review agent. → We shipped self-review onboarding against our AUP and integration requirements. → We've shipped a ton of internal tooling → We've answered 5,000 tickets We're far from done, but excited about the momentum in the right direction.
