The engineering team here at Drift could not be prouder. We build the technology that powers 1.5MM simultaneous users. This is the power of now.
Amazing that our new normal is over 1.5 million people having buying conversations over @Drift Chat⚡️ ** AT THE SAME TIME ** Wowza 🙌🏽 "The new way businesses buy from businesses." is proving more true every day. Thank you.

Do you know what an uxu is? #uxu #drift
Almost a year ago we asked our head of recruiting @Kpesky3 “Do you know what an UXU is?“ and he responded “Absolutely not“. Now when candidates come to @Drift , they ask us about the UXU. It‘s a movement. 🦌🦌🦌 🦌🦌🦌 youtube.com/watch?v=pbRUoDcA…

Awesome talk about Leex and Yecc from @bnchrch from @FISSIONcodes today. We can’t wait to start writing our own grammars in #elixirlang #thebigelixir
It’s Day 2 of @thebigelixir and we’re definitely having a great time meeting everyone and watching the great presentations. Which one is your favorite so far? #thebigelixir #elixirlang

How do you pronounce kubectl? @coryodaniel says it’s “kube cuddle” and we’re definitely “on board” with that. @thebigelixir #thebigelixir #elixir #Kubernetes

We’re going to be at @thebigelixir this week! We’d love to meet and learn from other leaders who’ve build large to massively scaled #elixir messaging systems like @Drift. Look for our Chief Architect @APIguy at the event, he’d love to connect!

Great insight from our Head of AI, Jeff Orkin @jorkin about challenges with AI adoption.
When trying to roll out an #AI bot, there’s a lot of fear. Customers often want to test and test before turning the bot on because they’re afraid it’s not trained well enough, says @jorkin @Drift. #EmotionAISummit
