Right, but I think Mark's point was that great companies can also be built slowly. These may not be the "best" companies but great one's can be built brick-by-brick. I feel that most startup founders today strive for a large funding round b

Interestingly there seems to be a recent trend of not being a slave to your email, twitter, FB, etc. I suppose people are starting to realize that urgent things don't necessarily come from these mediums and as much as we have come to rely o

Congrats on a tremendous technical feat! Any advantage of using a full-scale FS over something like git-annex ( http://git-annex.branchable.com/ )?

This list is inevitable I think for anyone who is trying to ship or has some sort of deadline. The most important thing I find in maintaining large code bases is to vigilantly keep the broken window theory in mind ( http://en.wikipedia.org/
