2) @stytchauth if you're frontend-focused (login-as-a-service, early traction, huge potential market)
Thank you to everyone, and especially to @sarerics. I left to join a tiny startup, but Affirm is still a great place to work (many fully-vested folks are sticking around!) and Sarah is the most thoughtful and supportive manager I've ever had. https://twitter.com/sarerics/status/1377689059393294337?s=20
