Hi Davies! Founder of Aevy here. Incredibly sorry for this. I used your name and image as an example when sketching the front page internally. I intended to replace you before going live, but completely forgot! I understand that you're

Could someone explain why "signals of growth", or as in this case "momentum", would be relevant to anyone? I understand that actual growth stats might be difficult to get hold of, but I think I'd rather have 200 of

Agree - to assume based on analogy seems risky. Taking the Musk "first principle" road and then navigating based on feedback the "lean" way is what makes the most sense to me.

I'm guessing: There will always be people who think they know why your idea won't work. It's in the nature of the game ( http://www.paulgraham.com/swan.html etc). Founders who take these people's opinions

Agree. He seems to struggle with how to interpret the "want" part of of "make something people want". The point of this sentence as I've learned the hard way through sales, pain points etc is that "want" a

You might have a point there :)

Alright, perhaps ordinary web cams on the faces of the employees involved? Just seeing the hard work and stress in their eyes would be pretty soothing. That might be an idea for any site: "We're currently down, but here are the fa

I'm just joking. (But who knows, maybe people would take lighter on the downtime if they could see the team working really hard to fix it).

Wouldn't it be a good idea for Github to set up a video + sound stream from their office when these things occur? I for one would watch. Can't really work anyway (at least that's what I persuade myself to think).

Why?

It's bizarre that this type of essential advice is news to so many founders (including me). It's understandable from the VCs perspective though. Since they're mostly in it for huge exits it's rational for them to prefer

Put this in your user key bindings and then you can auto-indent with cmd+shift+g: { "keys": ["command+shift+g"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false}}

They probably interpret your use of "emotional" as "irrationally emotional".

Agree, Github Issues allows this as well and once you get used to it this upload process seems a bit complicated.

Would be great if you solved it. I think you can just create a made up organisation to test. Think it's pretty common to not only work on individual private repos. If you would like to email me when/if you're done it would be appreciated!

by filip01 13y ago
OT: Your hotfix project actually seems interesting. I tried it out but it couldn't find any of my repos since they're tied to an organization I own (via my personal github account) and not directly to my personal account. Am I doing anythin

Great post but author really should have said up-front that this text was a way to promote his new project "willthisfly.net". Probably doesn't affect the value but it does affect the credibility. Is an outsider's opinion valuable for startu

What does this mean? That Hans (in this case) needs to be investing his personal assets in order to get a E2?

Great, thanks. Do you know of a more formal way of expressing this "flip"? (Don't get any good Google hits).

Thanks a lot! Could you perhaps explain this a bit more in detail: "The investment has to be made by the people applying for the visa." Let's say that we're a 2 year old company in a treaty country (EU) with ~$400k in the bank, founders ha

I like the idea. Some feedback: I started filling out the form but once I realised there was ~10 input fields and not ~2 I just quit. Also, something tells me that you're more likely to actually deliver good matches if you make everything s

Why even verify their email address? It's already been done by Facebook?

Very impressive, but searching for Stockholm to "Somewhere warm", "any friday" gave me a list of cities and images but "no flights". Why? Is Stockholm not yet supported?

by filip01 14y ago
Exactly. Since he's not suggesting any other actual methods, IMO this is more of a sensationalist way of saying that startups should base their ideas within an area where the founder is comfortable and knowledgeable.

Really love it when I stumble upon a new service that isn't only cool but also really useful. It's not common for me to add an app that I'll actually use daily or even weekly. It's also rare to see so many App Store reviews actually being l

Do you play soccer? For someone with a real appreciation for the game, I'd say there's a huge difference between a trash/string ball and a proper soccer ball. Or maybe I'm just narrow minded.
