Wow. Probably fundraising and getting out front of googles new consumer spanner service. I just started experimenting w/ cockroachdb and it sounds/seems great. They def are campaigning hard, landing a Jepsen test and a lot of posts/articles last couple.
I am pulling for them over G on principle. I infer they know people at Stripe where the Rethink team & Aphyr are so hopefully they can learn from them and build an awesome product. G has lost a lot of battles on UX, Docs, attitude and just general product. They have won a lot of battles on sheer size & resources. Be nice to have this stick around.
- aphyr 10y agoJust as a headsup, I left Stripe in late 2015 to run Jepsen as an independent consultancy.
- baq 10y agoi wanted to thank you for your work, your blog is singular on the web. chapeau bas.
- seahckr 10y agobig fan of your work! Thank you
- vonklaus 10y agoHey man, didn't realize you left Stripe but did sort of notice Jepsen getting more serious. Jepsen has phenomenal reach: Interesting and hilarious coverage of technical complexity which assumes just enough knowledge to engage a keen novice while seemingly engaging seasoned experts in the field. Thanks for that. Your entertainment firm is a bit out if my wheelhouse, but it's such a crowded space and you end up getting really tied down. Maybe get acquihired for an Iditarod team, but I reckon this is more scaleable. Posts are great. Tganks
