great reply, thanks for taking the effort. I hope to never work for other people again, but if I did, Stripe would be on top of the list of companies I'd apply

great reply, thanks for taking the effort. I hope to never work for other people again, but if I did, Stripe would be on top of the list of companies I'd apply to (despite their use of Ruby ;-) ). The CEO seems to have his head screwed on straight, and all employees I interact with seem very competent and pleasant. This is a great answer, and I particularly appreciate the "bad differences".
