love this article. I agree with most of the points he made, particularly the line - "Most of us live seventy or eight years defending what we’ve been given, because we think it’s who we are."

agree. We heavily rely on Github as well but we have managed to get around the outages.

However, we have moved to bitbucket recently b.c their pricing was better suited for us.

We have been really happy with stripe as well. Past year or so we have built several projects using stripe. The only time we had a scare was due to a rogue administrator. Stripe helped us investigate the problem.

Being the Chief Tech at Conceivian (and having the best job of my life), I can tell you that working with startup founder's is a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and I'd do it again. There were tons of learnings, innovation and fun in the project Andrew mentioned and several others we have done. BUT nothing beats getting fully paid for the work done!!

If apple were to buy TW and I am not saying Apple will, but if they do, the market will be driven by customer demand. Enabling part of the market true IPTV experience will start pressuring cable companies to open up. Since IPTV is arguably superior technology customers will demand and in case when they have choice will prefer true Apple TV like services over traditional cable.

At the right price point, buying a current content provide would turn out to be a good move.

It took me couple of minutes to figure out how to copy the link to the URL. You can copy the url automatically to clipboard right after user uploads the files (and display the notice to communicate it) or provide a visual clue to make it easier to find URL copy feature.

this looks perfect. Though, it is a bit pricey for us. Ideally the code review tool would be integrated with Github, Pivotal tracker or lighthouse.
