Great work guys. Lob's a great service and I wish you all the best. Certainly rings a lot of bells here at Pwinty as we both launched about the same time. Our first ever order arrived sooner than expected and was fulfilled by me runnin

We're using GoCardless at Pwinty to bill our UK based merchants- works really smoothly, and much cheaper than collecting via debit card or PayPal as we have to do in the rest of the world. Best of luck to them- especially after hearing

Unfortunately the working time directive for doctors in the UK is also averaged over a longer time period. So my wife has just come off an 80+ hour week of night shifts

Maybe I'm missing something- but I can't see the valuations the companies are raising at anywhere (e.g. I can see that Company X wants to raise $490,000 - but how much of the business this is for) Surely this is question number 1 when you w

Although TDD does give you more confidence to make changes to your code in future, I think you're overlooking a major benefit, which is allowing swifter code/test/debug cycles. So rather than having to make a change, run up the app in my br

But a DNS based failover is still going to take an hour or so to propagate right (given that a lot of browsers/proxies/DNS servers don't respect TTL very well at all)? And then you end up with a system with stale data, and the mess of tryin

Surely hosting yourself exposes you to just as much, if not more risk? Problem in the datacentre where you're co-lo'd, or one of your servers blows up? I think people not trusting the cloud is similar to how people feel safer driving their

I think it is incredibly important for tech companies to not only give adequate amount of leave, but also to make sure it is taken. I know that after 6-9 months without any holiday my productivity drops, my motivation too, I can start to ge

For the same reason burning wood is green- as long as you are regrowing it. So - if you're burning timber from a forest which is sustainably managed (so you're renewing wood at the same rate you're using it), then there is no net carbon rel
