We just announced a large raft of improvements at Stripe Sessions. My meta reflections: - It feels that the entire economy is replatforming right now. - Many charts at Stripe are inflecting in quite dramatic ways. What GitHub recently reported for commits we are seeing in economic activity (such as new company formations). - It is increasingly clear that agents will be responsible for most transactions in the not overly distant future. - Stripe was always developer-centric, but AI is making developers...
Why it worked
Patrick Collison-format post: bulleted personal observations, no marketing language, two specific data references (GitHub commit trends, Stripe Atlas formation rate). The opinion is high stakes: "agents will be responsible for most transactions." When a CEO with 200K+ followers writes in his own voice and the company reposts, the algorithm rewards it twice. This is the highest-engagement Stripe post in the last 90 days at 6.6x the median.
