This is just what we need in our small startup. It solves problems we have when working remotely and joint debugging along with walking our customers through tricky issues. Can't wait to give it a spin

I built my first company on engineers I hired from the local college by simply asking them to send me students who had clear talent but weren't engaging well in the academic side. We became a local clearing house where we quickly found out whether they could thrive outside of the academic environment. Two of them became "The Best" you talk about. One in DevOps (earns way more than me now) another found his talent in DevEx.

After reading that article it is mandatory to play R-Type on the Spectrum and truly appreciate the challenges overcome by Bob Pape.

His book is well worth a read: https://bizzley.42web.io/?i=1

I developed so many similar services for the UK Royal Mail in the 1990's

We used Yellow Royal Mail branded envelopes to gain attention.
