Said on Artisan Beer

“Everybody's trying to build the software factory. They all want to build some sort of a tool that they can sell to everybody and it's just going to work. But everybody's stack is different, everybody's way of working is different, things shift so fast that if you bundle this whole thing up into a product and sell it, the state of the art is going to shift under your feet.” — Ed Grosvenor, Artisan Beer

“You cannot create a SaaS like Nightwatch without having people pay per event. … Small businesses have websites up where there's not necessarily a strong correlation between requests and revenue, so you very quickly get priced out. And then the clients have this big blind spot: I'm paying all this money for this monitoring tool, but it's only getting one fiftieth of a percent of my requests.” — Ed Grosvenor, Artisan Beer

“It's not so much a matter of saving money. It's a matter of I don't want to have my tools interrupt my workflow. … The moment Claude comes back and says, I can't do that because whatever, I'm immediately looking for something else that's gonna solve my problem. Because it's so easy to find something else.” — Ed Grosvenor, Artisan Beer
