This looks great! As a Founder, I probably spend 70-80% of my time on email. Would be nice to see how effective they are.

How long does it take to figure out what I should be doing?

Depends on your development cycle, but this is one area that startups should have an advantage over bigger competitors. We got copied on a few things (logo, tagline, product) by a bunch of people in 3, 6, 9 months time. Of course we're already working on our second model, so no worries!

And it helps you cut down your to-do list. ;)

More cities will have to consider cycling infrastructure if they want to have happy and healthy residents. We're finally seeing changes in major American cities and it's great!

It looks a lot better than when I first saw it, and this "always-on" approach usually gives the best results for the way most job candidates look for work.

Bryce just replied on Twitter to say it's an OATV thing, so not just him. I wonder how that affects follow-on investment if the company needed it.

I think I'm going to apply. Anyone else?

Thanks for writing this up. It amazes me that companies (particularly startups) spend so much to recruit great people and then let them sink or swim. The first 30/60/90 days for a new hire are critical to their short and long term success at your company. More Founders should understand this.

Great post that outlines what goes into a job offer negotiation. Each situation is different, so it's good to get a second opinion if you can. This is where recruiters or (gasp!) HR can be helpful, because it's always tough negotiating directly with your future boss/manager.

Wonder how this came up today, these guys have been around since 2008, or a year before I started my three wheeler "car" company. I am surprised to see they have one that runs, but the road to production will be long and rough. I'll bet anyone $100 that they won't ship a production version by "Summer of 2014".

I like the metaphor, and I'll extend it by saying you want to assemble the best dance crew you can find!

This would have been a great app, instead of just rehashed games.

This sounds like a pretty cool product. Just wish I had it when I went on vacation last week.

Condolences for your loss Diego. I think your post best sums up what I call "life's work". We are lucky when we find it.

And I need to call my Dad.
