Julia Fedorin(@juliafedorin):"That's interesting" is founder speak for "I don't care." @Calcsam showed up to Next Conf three weeks into building @Mastra. Talked to 11 or 12 people. Heard "oh, that's interesting" over and over again. By 1:30 PM they'd had enough. Walked to a bar two miles away and asked themselves: "What did we f*** up?" "Don't just accept someone who says 'yeah, it's great.' You gotta dig deeper. When someone said 'oh, that's interesting' we knew they actually weren't that interested." The best feedback is rarely the feedback you get. It's the feedback you pull out. Full convo below.
