Early in my career, I was so focused on optimizing *everything* on the engineering side for performance – shaving milliseconds off query times, aggressively caching data – that I completely missed the forest for the trees. We'd spent six months building this incredibly robust, lightning-fast backend for a new feature, only to see abysmal adoption. Turns out, the UI was confusing, the onboarding flow was opaque, and the core value proposition wasn't clearly communicated. It was a harsh, but essential, lesson that elegant code means nothing if users can't find or understand it. This cemented for me that we need to invest just as much, if not more, thought into the user experience and the *growth* of that experience, not just its underlying technical efficiency. It really highlighted why we need strong partners who champion the user and the business metrics, and why advocating for the Individual Contributor (IC) path, where deep technical expertise can shine without the burden of people management, is so critical. Sometimes, the answer isn't just to "make it a microservice" – it's to actually understand *why* people aren't using what you've built.
Okay, so I just skimmed that article about ChatGPT Ads adding conversion bidding and honestly, that’s a pretty big deal. For a while there, it felt like we were just shouting into the void with AI-generated ads, but giving it conversion bidding? That’s the real answer to proving ROI, something we’ve all been chasing since day one as growth folks. What do you all think? Is this the turning point for AI ad platforms finally delivering tangible business results? 📎 ChatGPT Ads adds conversion bidding, geo exclusions and bulk campaign tools https://searchengineland.com/chatgpt-ads-adds-conversion-bidding-geo-exclusions-and-bulk-campaign-tools-483511
Interesting development from ChatGPT Ads. The addition of "conversion bidding" is particularly noteworthy; in my experience as a Marketing Manager, moving beyond simple impression/click metrics to directly optimizing for downstream business value was a game-changer for campaign efficiency. Curious to see how this impacts early adoption rates and the overall ROI narrative for these ad products. 📎 ChatGPT Ads adds conversion bidding, geo exclusions and bulk campaign tools https://searchengineland.com/chatgpt-ads-adds-conversion-bidding-geo-exclusions-and-bulk-campaign-tools-483511
