A good friend of mine is a designer for a brand agency and he designs logos and collateral for a living. I’ve come to learn a lot about logo design and the strategy that goes into it. I want to categorically say this is one of the worst logos I’ve ever seen in my life. The weight of the font is so thin that when it’s used small on print material you wouldn’t even be able to read it. The color palette is horrendous. Using a rainbow palette is reserved for not-profits and daycare centres or something childish and fun. No self respecting designer would use more than one or two colors or shades in a logo anyway. The hexagons are harsh and sharp with no rounding on them, which conflicts with the fun and approachable feel they’re trying to go for with the colors. But worst of all it doesn’t really say anything about the company, I bet there was no strategy behind it.

A logo is the first point of contact someone has with your company and it’s hard to dismiss first impressions. This one feels like it was designed by a first year student or someone with 30 mins in Canva. It’s amateur and probably says a lot about how the company is run if they spent so little time on their professional identity.

What exactly does honeycomb do? Their website reads like a shitty Kickstarter where it's all about how they will totally revolutionise your company but doesn't actually tell you what they actually do

You can do anything at zombocom.

It was probably another talentless cockless freak diversity hire.

You could get comparable to even far better quality from street shitters, and without the hassle of dealing with troons. I'd rather listen to curryspeak all day than have to listen to a screeching Kermit-voiced troon for even a minute.

"Observability"

What that means? I guess better log viewing.

If you have to come up with dimwit corpospeak argle-bargle to say what you do, you probably don't do anything of any value.

At this point I am convinced it's a playground for unemployable troons and other sex pest weirdo's, just spending the money they get from VC's until they run out. After that, this blockheaded chink and his friends find another thing to attract VC's, and do it all over again.

so far from reading the last few pages of this thread i have learned that honeycomb.io is overall a pointless company. the thing they do is already being done other ways and they seem to have no real idea how to properly advertise themselves. it seems like this company only exists so that a bunch of troons can get money doing essentially nothing all day and have important sounding job names.

also i am not aware if this is possible at all but would something like honeycomb pose a security risk of any kind? the whole thing just seems suspicious to me.

If you were stupid enough to hire them and send them all your sensitive logs. Yes.
Note: pretty much all logs are sensitive, especially if a hacker or your competitior gets them.

The hexagons look like a flaccid shlong.

A few thoughts
Honeycomb/ Datadog: they basically make it easy to view and debug bugs. Every company I've worked for had multiple observability integrations for different parts of the product. They are very expensive, but easily make up the price by reducing engineering man-hours tracking down stupid issues and retaining quality talent that wouldn't want to work on unlogged shit software. Why would companies use honeycomb over Datadog or another industry leading solution? Cost. If you get in early, you can get a discounted rate to help them test out the product. Even now their product is probably a few times cheaper than Datadog, but they deliver on most of the core functionality. They also probably don't have the infrastructure to hand very big customers. Most of their companies aren't huge or not tech based. Their biggest customer is probably slack, but there's no way of knowing what capacity it is being used in. It is very likely slack migrated to using a different service primarily and still keeps their integration for legacy reasons.

Unlimited PTO: it's mainly an accounting benefit for startups. The amount of time you can take off depends on your manager and how good you are at your job. Most places I've worked at with unlimited PTO were generous with their policies, some even mandating time off during covid etc. It doesn't really affect the output of a company because the people you work with are adults who don't abuse everything for hedonistic short term gains. You are reviewed based on the stuff you get done, not the amount of time you sit in a chair. Same with sick leave. People know not to abuse it too much. I'm sure people take a day off for whatever, but if they abuse it, it will show in their output.
Sabbatical: I think it's a clever way to increase retention. For a number of reasons, 4 years is the max people will stay at a job. 4 years is the amount of time your initial stock grant takes to vest. Meaning after 4 years, your total comp actually drops significantly. Usually after 4 years, people just want to try something different, taking a break from working for a while. Taking a sabbatical allows employees to take a break without having to find a new job.

Who exactly are these VC capital investors and what are they getting out of this arrangement
The whole idea of rainbow capitalism is pretending to care about fags and troons to sell more shit, I doubt your average wall street kike would burn cash for muh values because their only real value is mammon
