@brexton Listen man, you go to the Middle East, cool, you earned it

But you live in New York? SF? Can you drive to a Dunken or a Starbucks?

Sorry, no, denied

Do you know where your data goes once it hits the cloud? For banks, credit unions, and healthcare organizations, "somewhere" isn't good enough.

@JustJake just be happy that they are no longer searching for rockstar developers

@JustJake hey my FDEs are blocked by the TWENTY FOUR HOUR outage on Railway. Less shit talky more worky worky pls & ty

@JustJake We used to call them Sales Engineers :D

@JustJake the weird thing they are mostly remote

@JustJake Tactical b2b SaaS

@JustJake just call them tech support they lose their shit

@JustJake Yeah but it’s done in a forward manner

Know your axle weights before you roll. ITAG's free Trailer Load Planner walks you through cargo, trailer and travel states with a live 3D rig view. Try it free today.

@JustJake But we sell it while being deployed forwardily

@JustJake was at a cmo dinner recently and they were very confused to hear that GTM engineers weren’t actual software engineers haha

@JustJake Right, like I said I’m a forward deployed engineer

@JustJake isnt forward deployed eng someone who talks with customers and builds accordingly? so if he is doing it why not?

@JustJake As soon as I saw that title I wondered how long it would take to mean "solutions architect".

@JustJake > you sell

@JustJake everytime

Midterms Sale: $3/Week

@JustJake Bespoke b2b saas.

@JustJake Recently a lead in my security org asked me about internal FDEs

@JustJake I prefer “on-call sales manager”

@JustJake You can call me backwards deploy eng.

@JustJake such an abstract term for customer facing engineers

@JustJake at least its better than a backward deployed engineer 😂

@JustJake Hahahaha

Every market. One platform. Your move. TradeStation.

@JustJake I'm still building various SaaS... but I FDE a bunch of clients as I do so. lol. Literally just blogged about "FDE" lol.

@JustJake I used to think (might still believe that) fde will be really good role for a while but part of me thinks its going to be obsolete too soon.

@JustJake "operator"

@JustJake yall need any reverse rollback devs??

@JustJake not the right time for jokes, i can’t deploy on railway 😅

@JustJake they dont sell

they solve problems

@JustJake for a glorified digital agency no less.
