Startups, Beanbags, Earthquakes, and Fires
- prayag 14y agoThe article fails to mention one thing. James and Andrew are both just really nice people. Kind, generous and just all round fabulous! Kudos! Excited about where Firebase is going! Kudos!
- jasonshen 14y agoThe other thing that the article glosses over is that Andrew was actually inside a neighboring building when James called him up to the roof. Right as Andrew got to the roof of that adjacent building, the one he was in 5 minutes earlier flattened when the earthquake struck. James saved his cofounder's life. Literally.
- sgrove 14y agoIt goes without saying that if you've ever met these two, you know they're in a league of their own. They have the same kind of unstoppable, world-be-damned nature that I've seen in the Justin.tv and Airbnb teams, which is inspiring and humbling at the same time. And as Prayag mentioned, they've both extremely nice and down to earth. They deserve nothing but success - best of luck to both of them.
- zbowling 14y agoI've just got to say that James is great guy. I run into him constantly (usually at hackathons in the bay area). Smart guy.
