Real Estate Copywriter

RIP: 2023

TL;DR - Not enough market pain. Too much competition & price pressure. Don't care about real estate copywriting and not desperate enough to start caring.

No dedicated after action review but mentioned in this post.

TenantFlowAI

RIP: 2023

TL;DR - Too much competition and price pressure. Incumbents have a huge distribution advantage. Poor GTM channel (cold phone calls). Could make it work, determined juice ain't worth the squeeze.

2018

600 pages on everything you ever wanted to know about Apache Spark.

SparkTutorials.net

RIP: 2018

TL;DR - Website that taught others the basics of Apache Spark. Helped me get a job at Databricks and subsequently write a book on Spark.
