"it's unlikely your site/app will ever be as big as RapGenius"

Heroku's entire promise is scalability. And this isn't an edge case, it will bite you if you need anything over 1 dyno.

i'm a designer and a developer and i'm using bootstrap in my latest project as a base UI. i figured, i'm introducing some big new ideas that are hard enough to explain to my users, why make them discover how a new menu or form works? so i used bootstrap for all my typical interactions and it's saving me weeks of work i would have spent rolling my own custom framework.

and it doesn't look anything like bootstrap.

i'm smarter for reading this. need more.

i agree with the no suit sentiment. but i work in a place where plenty of people look like crap in a suit. it's all about how you take care of yourself. you can look put together in shorts and flip flops. ultimately you're asking someone to give you hundreds of thousands of dollars. your ability to get dressed in the morning will say a lot about your ability to build a company.

wtf does this matter?

this isnt true. as long as youve submitted once before the deadline you're ok.

haha, i like that raising a family is a good option for when your startup fails

im wondering what the signal/noise ratio is like now, the first batch after the start fund. will be interesting to see how big and how awesome this next batch is.

youre in!
