Thanks! I heart genetic algorithms.

Very cool, great work!

Nice writeup. The whole "your docs site is just on a different branch" has always been weird to me though. I'm not sure what a better way to do it would be but I don't like these two options: switch branches inline or have a separate clone of the repo.

The network is powerful. Alums are generally connected through the mentors and program directors if they aren't in the same class (the cloud class has it's own alumni weekend where the classes got to know each other well).

The first 4 weeks is very intense on the business/market/sales plan side of things. It is hard to get work done, you have to squeeze it in whenever possible (night, weekends, etc). The idea is that you probably shouldn't do a ton of work before you have a solid plan in place. After that things slow down and you can focus on coding/traction.

Haha, didn't even think of that.

If anybody has any specific questions about Techstars, I'm happy to answer.

Awesome new stuff guys. Here is my wish list for 3.0:

* Backend support (maybe via backbone+knockout)

* Themes

Thoughts?

A1: Yes, you can reference them by the carrier tracking number (although you could not void/modify a shipment that wasn't created by your carrier account).

A2: Do those have a tracking number pre-printed? If so, yes. It will also work with a UPS InfoNotice or Waybill #.

A3: Yes! We have "best-effort" functionality, it will be expanded to add more complex statements, but we currently have "Send best price from X to Y within N days."

A4: Yes, if you rate is lower than ours and you are over a certain shipping threshold.
