Completely agree, but I’d posit they typically have a different fundamental problem β€” managers who can rarely measure performance with consistency and accuracy to begin with, before you even get into confounding factors such as AI adoption.

A pile of paper street posters in bright pink and orange that say WHERE FANFIC MEETS ROLEPLAY in a handwritten font. The bottom has a bunch of tearaways that are each a different trope. There's a hand and a scissor cutting them up.

Sometimes being a founder means staying up too late doing arts and crafts.

We'll be at #NYCC tomorrow with an exciting launch, come find us (or at least find our QR code to skip the waitlist)!

You should lean into this to help with her marketing, like β€œbefore Jessie and I couldn’t even spell committee, but look she’s making an impact before she’s even elected β€” vote Jessie for commitee” (then make the last one have like the second t drawn in there by hand)
