Given yesterday, May the 4th. Ended up with a lightly unhinged Star Wars/data infrastructure rant about centralized warehouses, and dark data. I think it was funnier in my head than on the page (and maybe I've thought about data a

Made me think, is there an opportunity to build a management layer for this? Handle subscribing and cancelling automatically when you want to watch certain things? Would probably be blocked pretty fast but amusing to think about.

Data lakes promised schema-on-read flexibility but became swamps. The industry responded by turning them into databases again, defeating the original purpose. We built Matterbeam differently: immutable storage with inferred intermediate sch

We gave our first employees restricted stock agreements instead of ISO options, with the exact same legal terms and vesting schedule I got as founder. 2-6% equity grants, six-year vesting, hiring bonuses to cover exercise costs and taxes. V

This is a little triggering :) Reminds me of all the promise back in 2005 when I built my first startup Grazr. It was: - a widget that was a mini RSS reader that let visitors to your site read the RSS feeds you subscribed to on your site

So many memories. That was a big part of my first startup in 2005. Grazr was the “next level of rss”. Unfortunately the first level never quite took off. https://techcrunch.com/2006/09/18/grazr-10-blasts-off-i

I've toyed with OSS'ing it or releasing the code. It would be a non-trivial amount of time and energy to package it in a way that people could host it. Gamescape was a hobby thing so I used some different architectural patterns I&

Very nice! :) I also had a similar itch a while back and built https://gamescape.app (during the pandemic). Different focus -- all about shared maps and tokens rather than a "full" VTT. Plan is for it to be free foreve

I posted to get ideas and maybe help other startups. We dipped a toe into posting on Reddit. Targeted community, sharing a white paper, asking if people wanted to share their pain with us (we're still trying to learn). Got modded to ob

I also wrote a small free application for drawing (quick) maps, real-time collab, moving tokens around etc. It has a small but happy user base :) GameScape ( https://gamescape.app ) Basically I wanted something to approximate pen,

We need to re-think how to make data _useful_. The fact that the value hasn't materialized after decades of attempts, billions of dollars, and lots of tools and technology points to the fact that our core assumptions and patterns are w

I'm tempted to write a blog post... I bristle a little when microservices are described as "best practice". Monolith vs microservice is really about _people_ and _organizations_. Monoliths make sense in some contexts and micr

Wow memories. My first startup, grazr.com created a feed processing system that could achieve similar (imho superior) results to pipes and worked in a different way ( https://mikepk.com/2007/03/grazrscript-v12-beta&
