Yesterday I got a voice mail from a cold call at work from some rando (I have no idea how they got my phone #), and they mentioned they work for some infrastructure tooling site. I share a name with someone higher up in the company so I occasionally get cold emails/calls from people thinking they're talking to someone with actual purchasing authority, trying to hustle some business.

Anyways out of curiosity I go to the site and it's a business that's built around a single api call that my organization uses internally. I'm simplifying a little, but I can't believe someone built a business around this thing that, to me, is incredibly simple. (I understand it's more complex than that, and we have entire teams backing the goings on behind this api call, but still). From their "who's using us" block on the landing page they look successful. It's interesting to learn how small businesses can find success in the most surprising of places.
