Newspapers, which you point out used to moderate for us, don't want to play the moderation game in the Internet era either. Many publications have ripped out their Disqus, Facebook commenting plug-ins that used to accompany their artic

This is like saying why move from a dictatorship to democracy. We're just trading one leadership figure for another.

OP, thanks for sharing your article. On the balance, you aren't doing anything wrong. The only real takeaway is entrepreneurship is hard. VERY HARD. You will make plenty of mistakes. Technical mistakes. Business mistakes. Mistakes that

It feels like Heroku has lost its market leadership. These days seems like Netlify is the winner.

In hindsight, I think MS dodged a bullet. Buying Slack would have been another Skype-like failed acquisition. Teams is a solid piece of software, and Microsoft has done a good job making it unique in a crowded marketplace.

Slack is getting eaten by both the top and bottom. From the top, Teams has been effective in beating Slack, especially with Office 365 subscribers. From the bottom, Discord is doing a pretty decent job. Slack is increasingly stuck in the me

Much of the narrative compares Teams w/ Slack. While that's true, the better narrative compares Teams w/ Zoom. And Teams has done a good job making video seamless and easy to initiate.

Stratechery surfaces some interesting insights from time-to-time. But yes, the author's writing style consistently comes across as overly pedantic.

"Reading reviews" hit the nail on the head for me. I miss the days where I can just make purchases without having to "read the reviews." I'm so time-constrained as it is; making customers responsible for ensuring th

There are so many fake or manipulated reviews across all sites -- Yelp, Amazon, Uber, eBay -- that I just don't trust them anymore. Unfortunately, we are addicted to having someone filter products and services for us, even if they are

There's a lot of outdated thinking that Teams < Slack. I use both multiple times a day. Teams is far from a carbon copy of Slack. If anything, Slack needs to pay attention to Teams. They've already out-innovated Slack on severa

One thing to add is that most of us are terrible at giving feedback; most feedback is typically wrong, vague, or insensitive. The trouble is that those who are less practiced at giving feedback are usually the worst at giving it, which lead

Looks like there are four board members: Korey, Rubio, and two VCs. If they held equal votes, it's possible the two VCs wanted to oust Korey but Rubio did not. As a result, the VCs probably waged a backchannel PR war to pressure Rubio
