I was paid less than someone doing the same job at the same company as I was many years ago. When there were layoffs, one of the reasons they kept me instead of him was that I was cheaper. I understand you're the sole tech guy at your compa

I love that most of the dogs seem to be adoptable. It's a great hook. I wonder if you could allow users who've logged in with Facebook to only see dogs near them.

Thanks for posting this, Rick. Chris's advice is predicated on having a good relationship with your investors. That's not always the case. If a CEO is hesitant to invest in transparent communication with investors/advisors/board, it might b

Well, here's the first one that came up when I Googled: http://eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/search/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb... I'm interested in reading the article, is there a free version somewhere?

OP here - my proposal is that we might benefit from women-only support groups where we can share the frustrations and experiences of being in the minority, not women-only workplaces. That said, there's some research that single-sex educatio

While there is some great advice here, I don't think it's necessarily for people who haven't done a ton of public speaking before. What I agree with: Find your power animal (the pose or gesture that feels natural/empowering to you), pick tw

This tracks with my anecdotal experiences working in startups for 15+ years. Namely, that companies need audacious, aggressive leaders in the early days of initial fundraising, customer acquisition, etc. But those domineering, borderline-so

Another vote for Posterous. I also like the simple customization, and the fact that I can easily add new members/contributors - a nice feature for a company blog.

I love the idea ("Uber for carwashing!") but I have some doubts. The price point is too low for me to believe they'll do a decent job. There are already mobile car detailers here in Portland, and a good exterior detail costs around $100. Th

Awesome lesson, and I appreciate that you explained the implementation. We already have too many apps shoved down our throats. Make it as seamless as possible for your app to work with the tools people are already using (i.e., don't send em

You can add more permissions later.

You might want to consider a stepped permissions model for the Facebook auth. Asking for a crapton of permissions up front before establishing any trust with the user can be off-putting. For example, get the email first, give users more inf

Thanks for answering my questions. While the lifetime risk of ALS is (relatively) low, I feel that its high mortality rate should increase the importance of funding research.

by TWSS 15y ago
What this points out to me is how little we know about ALS/MND. The majority of those diagnosed die within three years, but a handful can survive for decades. Do bulbar onset ALS patients live longer than limb onset? What about those with f

I've wrestled with this, personally. Honestly, I think it's hard to tell what's viable and what's not when it's your baby, and you've been living and breathing it for months. The standard that I hold myself to is whether or not the product

This is something we struggled with. We eventually figured out that being the Airbnb of the market we're addressing didn't translate well and we moved to a different model. Unfortunately, I still hear people describing us as "Airbnb for X".

It's funny, I was 35 when I realized life was short, quit my corporate job, and started working on startups. My mid-life crisis, complete with impractical sports car. At 35, I had enough experience that working on boring projects for idiots

We've recently had to do something similar, and I appreciate the transparency around this. Thanks for sharing your experiences and intentions with your customers, it's a good template for how others can gracefully make decisions like this.

The point about deferring to a man when you both start talking at the same time struck a chord. As the CEO of an early-stage startup with two male partners, I'm slowly breaking myself of that habit when we're talking to a mentor. It's painf

Because the list is so long, and a bunch of the cons mention cost, I'm going to flog my friend's company, Cloudability ( http://cloudability.com ). They help you track and control your cloud spending and they're an AWS solutions provider. T
