Chris Long on why the ramp rate directory is the best thing on LinkedIn right now

Chris Long is a marketing guy who writes about marketing — the kind who actually uses what he talks about. He just posted about the ramp rate directory and called it the most inspiring share he's seen on LinkedIn, and honestly, he's not wrong.

The directory is basically a living catalog of how fast different tools, platforms, and services get up to speed. Not speed for speed's sake, but the real ramp — how long it takes from zero to useful. You're not paying for speed; you're paying for time saved.

Why this matters for us: the people running side businesses and growing companies are the ones who feel the friction of a slow ramp most, and this is a practical way to pick tools that actually move fast.
