🔗 18 months of code, gone. Here's what we learned.

We developed this product for over 1.5 years, closed clients left right and center, and now we're throwing everything away.

In case you don't know me (or Autonoma), we're no strangers to pivots. Funnily enough, we pivoted like 4 times already (enterprise search, documentation generation, coding agent, QA testing platform). The reasons are beyond the scope of this article. In all cases, we knew bugs were painful, we just didn’t know what was the best way of solving the problem.

On our last pivot, we actually started getting customers and raised a round from one of the biggest names in the industry. We hired a team of 14 (as I’m writing this article) and started closing clients left right and center. So why would we take such a drastic decision over something that’s working for many customers? Well, many reasons. That’s why I’m writing this article.
