Really happy to see this - A few months ago the D2 `play` site looked like it was down or unreachable and I was pretty bummed. It came back, but it did make me wonder about the future of the project - awesome to see that TALA will be releas

Yea, my guess would be that's it. Coupled with the fact it hasn't been updated in ~3 years. I've giving this one a shot, might have too much functionality for me though...I liked how bare-bones the other one was. https:&#x2F

Would very much appreciate that as well as walk-through docs. Got it up and running easily enough, and connected to Redshift. But seemed like creating a new "slice" required custom JSON params to define it. Unless I missed somethi

Great insight into the changing landscape of a CTO as a company grows through rounds of funding in the first several years. My experience (Series C, ~130 employees) echoes many of the points in this article.

Another "missed" option: Got seed funding to pay the bills until it ran out or the company became profitable/raised another round.
