One minor thing I saw: when I searched for "C#" it returned "c programming"
uh.... everyone. Trying to sue someone so you can force your employees to stay is lose/lose.
It ends up costing a little more in the long run, but you also get a better quality product.
"None of these problems should have been unassailable, which leads us to why NewsLabs failed as a company:
* Nathan and I had major communication problems,
* we weren’t intrinsically motivated by news and journalism,
* making a new product required changes we could not make,
* our motivation to make a successful company got destroyed by all of the above.
Overall, the most important of these are that Nathan and I had difficulty communicating in a way which would allow us save the company, and that this really drained out motivation."Maybe you should figure this shit out before you take someone's hard earned money.
