Ask HN: How do you build referrals and incentives into your app in 2021?
Noticing that a lot of B2B apps (Superhuman) do referrals today, in addition to B2C (Airbnb) -- wondering if all companies building referrals into their app spend engineering resources on it? Or are there any common wisdom SDKs which make it as easy as integrating GA/Segment on your website.If you've built this before, would love to know the challenges and iterations of doing this.

Ask HN: What changes to ESOPs ownership for employees would you like to see?
I am looking to incorporate a company on a slightly different model for early employees. Keeping 1% each for the first 10/key employees with a standard vesting of 4 years (1 year cliff) to give them more ownership into the mission of the company. In addition to that, there will also be a standard ESOP pool as well.I am trying to find an easy solution to employee ownership that I would have...

Similar thoughts (btw I came here looking for your comment ha!).
I guess you had mentioned in one of the videos that at Fivetran, it is your responsibility to ensure data integrity across all of the sources/integrations, and has been since the early days. This led the customers to trust the product in the early days and the team to draw learnings from abstract patterns across sources.
Have come to believe that it is THE MOST important thing to have an explicit ownership for issues whenever there is physical movement of data across an org's ecosystem.

Yes, a mix of 1 & 2 possibly -- am trying not to think too much about the implementation at this stage tbh.
Problem statement remains that every major SaaS app has an API available - while that's good, an API is still an engineer's tool. These apps can't really expose SQL on the go on their apps given a. multi-tenant architectures b. transactional/nosql databases used.
However, an ideal solution does seem like a mix of 1&2 in my mind. An easy to use SDK (?) to make any SaaS app have the capabilities of Stripe Sigma.
