Add ability for registerActionOption callbacks to receive the event after params have been resolved Relates to #668

R to @dbenyamin: I don't remember the particulars, but I apologize regardless. Twitter coaxes us into trading anger for engagement, but we're still all accountable for our actions, and I for mine. Ultimately, I decided writing long-form emails was the best antidote for me ✌️❤️

R to @dvassallo: I don't. I know it works, I recognize the spectacle, but the performance inevitably ends up diminishing us all. That was perhaps the hardest lesson I had to swallow in all my time on the internet. ✌️

"All the most valuable lessons in life require repetition. You don't get in shape by knowing how to do a push-up but by doing a hundred a week. Accept that wisdom is a form of mental exercise." https://world.hey.com/dhh/wisdom-is-not-what-you-know-e8cf9191

Wisdom is not what you know

The hallmark of great wisdom is not what you know, but what you know and can put to use. The globe is full of learned idiots, unable or inca

R to @dhh: So don’t worry about making everyone love your products. Worry about making those who’d happily pay for it love it. Then worry about limiting costs, and you keep the difference between that and revenues. It’s really simple, it really compounds well. Profits are good actually!

R to @dhh: The truth is that we’ve been managing costs scrupulously since day one. That’s how you stay in business when you’re not playing with other people’s money! And the drive to do so is obviously high when you get to keep every dollar saved at the end of the year too.

R to @dhh: This reminds me of the infamous TechCrunch piece by Arrington back in 2007, which pinned the death of some startup on our pitch that profitability is good. That charging for products is good. That managing your costs prudently is good. Growth uber alles! https://techcrunch.com/2007/08/13/37signals-drives-another-company-to-the-deadpool/

I don’t mind when folks don’t like our products - you’re never going to please everyone! - but the comparison to PE is just financially illiterate. We’ve run the polar opposite of a short-term, debt-fueled PE biz for 20+ years. Profitability is a virtue, not a sin.

R to @ryanseanbadger: Of all you spend is $300/month, you’re in the sweet spot for cloud. We spent $3.2 million last year on a hyper optimized cloud budget. Stand to save over $7 million in the next five years. Completely different ballgame. https://dev.37signals.com/our-cloud-spend-in-2022/
