Two and a half years ago, I started Marketing Examples. People liked the case studies. So I left my job and went full-time. Since then, they've been read by more than one million people. Which... still blows my mind. Ask me anything about growing the site and newsletter to 90,000 subscribers. Or share what you're working on and get a few quick marketing and copywriting tips. Cheers. Update #001 Replying atm. Update #002 All done. Thanks.

Hey everyone, I m Gabe Monroy, the new Chief Product Officer at DigitalOcean. I m responsible for DO s customer-facing products and the design, product management, and engineering teams that build and operate them. With 40M new developers joining the community by 2030, I am working hard to develop and grow their businesses on DigitalOcean. Before DO, I was the VP of the Azure Developer Experience group at Microsoft and founded a startup named Deis, which Microsoft acquired in 2017. Outside of work, I am an amateur farmer (read: I have no idea what I am doing). I live on a 35-acre farmhouse in Boulder, Colorado, where my wife and I have lots of chickens, livestock guardian dogs, and some Nigerian dwarf goats coming in March. Every morning I wake up at 5 AM to take care of the animals. The rooster helps me wake up. Ask me anything about DigitalOcean, developers and building startups, product and design excellence, operating distributed systems inside a hyperscale cloud, sales, and GTM strategies, or maybe telling the difference between a rooster and a hen. Edit: appreciate the great questions so far. Keep 'em coming! I'll be back to answer more questions on Wednesday at 3pm Pacific Time. Edit2: and that's a wrap! Thanks for the fantastic questions, folks. You can always find me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/gabe_monroy. My DMs are open.

I would love to know what you people are working on. Maybe I will find some excellent and exciting tools, SaaS, extensions, or productivity tools that I can share with my audience.
