- pchristensen 19y agoWhy are people downvoting this? Jealous of their success? Hate the smugness? Regardless, people in the Rails, entrepreneur, and design communities, like the stuff they write. They have 85K subscribers and it is a huge part of their marketing. 85K subscribers drives a lot of traffic, referrals, and awareness. Anyone seriously interested in promoting their product should take a good long look at the success 37s has had with SVN. It's no different than pg's arguments about Lisp.
- wallflower 19y agoI agree. At our annual conference, we have users that like and a few who hate our application. I think you can't have a successful product (as ours is) without having passionate users and critics in your community.. If you want to be jealous of a company, be jealous of Threadless.com - if you haven't heard of their crowd-sourcing runaway-to-a-private-island type of success, google it and weep :)
