    Very excited to announce our Series C today! At Ashby we've seen great momentum since our public launch in September 2022 (and >6x revenue growth since our Series B). I've written a longer version about the round here: ashbyhq.com/blog/culture/s…

    After almost three years at @PlanGrid I've decided it's finally time to try to work on some of my own ideas. At the very least for the next few months, hopefully a lot longer. My last day is Friday. I'm incredibly proud of the engineering team we built together!

    Uh, the type cast changing which property is accessed is quite mind-boggling. Thanks to @xwu for pointing this out.
