Glad to see this. Zapier is a hot mess
down votes? Sir, you're in a hacker news forum.
Use something like Coinbase Commerce and abstract away the need to choose one and just build on top of it

Those that haven't gotten it are trying to find anyway they can get it. Hospitals have done a terrible job of prioritizing frontline workers.
This is crazy. UCSF has frontline emergency doctors that have not yet received the vaccine.
You should read Stephen's blog here... he covers the highs and lows very honestly and eventually went back to a corporate gig despite making some really cool stuff: http://treasureadventureworld.com/

Of course, if you are a product-focused CEO. Zuck still does product reviews. Bill Gates did product reviews at MSFT. This really applies more to tech, whereas in finance and other industries the CEO tends to be more of a sales job.

Is there a suggested alternative people should be turning to as opposed to building their own, especially if their expertise is in writing or some other field than computer science or web design?
Every incident is obviously tragic, but statistically with the number of Teslas on the road is self-driving roughly on par with the number of expected deadly accidents with manually driven cars? This is still a nascent technology with a lot of promise and it is naive to expect that there will never be a fatality or issue.
Then why crush the option? Let the market determine it. If Intuit's product is so much better then it will win.
Even Discourse is ok but you have to go offsite to post, something their owner has been adamant about not supporting. Perhaps there is a big market opportunity here to take the best of what's around and what customers are asking for.
