Would love to hear about the same but in Canada - As far as I know we don't have any Hetzner-like providers here.

Love the product and you've nailed the simple design! I'm concerned about email deliverability--Even more so after the email verification ended up in my spam. Handling incoming email is simple enough, but for this to be useful to

The article doesn't dive into why this group performed worse; to me that is of much more interest than the conclusion. Just from my own observations I would expect that this is largely due to income differences in the two groups. Ric

Hootsuite also started as an agency side project, and I'm sure there are more. Intentionally following this model doesn't seem sensible though; with VC money so accessible if you have already put together a good team you might as

Speaking as a former AWS Engineer, I disagree with the sentiment that they are able to glue AWS services together better than what a competing non-AWS company can do. Internally the use of AWS is subject to the same constraints and APIs you

I've seen this done for new projects, and it works really well. If your data access patterns are truly relational (varied lookup paths) then it is probably not the right tool, but many apps can be modeled in a way that DDB handles well

Very well done! I had started on a similar idea a while back, but never got around to it. Even have a cute domain for it (pifork.com) in case you're interested :)

Having been in your position, I understand that having built a product from the ground up makes you feel like you are qualified to do anything. I was lucky enough to get hired at a late-stage startup after my endeavor failed, and am constan

I've recently joined a team writing primarily in Clojure, whose proponents often tout repl-driven programming as a unique benefit to the language. In a statically typed language (the stronger the better), aided by a good IDE, I don&#x2

We have been using this at Hootsuite, and it's been a really smooth experience, especially when compared to Yammer.

Here at Hootsuite we just finished rolling out webpack, and we're using it with grunt. If there is interest, I could probably get the project lead to do a writeup on our code blog.

I don't think enterprise ever has or will adopt Rails. Even node.js isn't at the point where it can really be considered "enterprise". Java is dead. Long live Java!

Seems to me the banding might be caused by bad rendering, and not a deficiency of 24-bit colours. On my MBP the gradient is indiscernable.

I personally witnessed two instances of this attack as early as December 8. I couldn't figure out until now how it was done.

This rings very true to my own experience. I've watched repeatedly as struggling, low-income families purchase huge TVs. I find it comical to walk into a trailer home to see a brand new Bravia barely able to fit on the disheveled TV stand.
