Of companies mentioned in the article, the asymmetric contributions to OSM that bother me the most are AllTrails and Strava - 2 companies that heavily rely on trail data sourced from OSM. AllTrails does close to zilch to help put trails int

A lot of startups get sued by Non Practicing Entities (trolls) that have no operating business to speak of. That provides the slimmest counterattack surface - so not sure how useful it is to have a portfolio to hit back. I think a better de

I see this type of refining activity on our payment gateway logs. I can only imagine what it looks like at a major online retailer or SAAS service. It just goes to show how fundamentally broken is payment card processing at the moment, and

To me, the article is about 1 or 2 years too early. It provides great detail about all the pros and cons of judging the choice in advance, but no evidence that they made the right choice. Unless Spolsky is ready to start judging the perform
