I’m a CEO, I was not given a magic ring to predict the future when I took the role, I make the best decisions I can as a totally flawed human being. Businesses have natural expansion and contraction cycles. New products are built and iterat

This is very cool! We just built our own internal billing tool for our company after bad experiences with Recurly and ChargeBee. We are B2B and B2E and ChargeBee/Recurly felt very clunky when used for enterprise billing — specifically

“How do you know if someone has disabled JavaScript? Don’t worry” the joke goes … “they’ll tell you”. There’s always someone in a browser tech thread that has to proclaim their security high ground to the unwashed masses. In my opinion, the

People don’t know what is fact and what is fiction. Giving 50/50 air time to climate scientists and climate change deniers is on one side presenting facts and on the other total bullshit and saying “hey these are both valid opinions- y
