I wrote developer landing page messaging for a client in a matter of a couple hours that resonates with their ICP and pleases the technical founder. 🙌 Just needed to celebrate a win aloud.

Producer @steve_tenuto is moving on from Try Hard Studios! I'm gonna keep the party going, but Steve is looking to get back into building products. I'm lucky I got to work with him for 18 months, and I'm proud of all we got done together. Now is your chance to hire him!
